Discussed in This EpisodeWhat does it mean to “overcome the world”? Why does Dr. Gupta have a disdain for smartphones? Why is “getting something to be happy” an empty act? What does a wasted life look like? Why has Joshua abandoned most of his ambitions? In what ways do we misunderstand love? What’s the problem with socializing? What is permanent in an ephemeral world? In what way are social media and politics like dirt? What are Dr. Gupta’s thoughts on money? Since “good” and “bad” are constructs, does that mean morality does not exist? Why does Kapil use an avatar instead of his photo, and why does he not appear on camera? Are there any other sacred cows Dr. Gupta would like to dispatch? Added Value: A track from Joshua’s favorite album of the year so far. Bonus conversation with Dr. Gupta: Why don’t we have to explain ourselves? Minimal Maxims
