Between seven lives of marriage, coming back as a chicken or a shrimp, and snoring through an entire Art of Living meditation class, his odds aren't great. Plus: Meta glasses so she can track him, the \"rogue AI husband\" who started thinking for himself, stolen \"Diwali edition\" bags, and 17 six-year-olds at one birthday party.\nEpisode 19 of Fly & Butterfly — Vishnu Vaka and Mahitha on marriage, moksha, surveillance, and the dangers of a husband who starts thinking for himself.\nHindus say you're married for seven lives, so what happens if one of you reaches moksha first? Mahitha isn't taking that chance. We get into who comes back as a cow, a chicken or a shrimp, the story of Valmiki, and why Vishnu will never reach moksha anyway (the Art of Living class is still recovering from his snoring). Plus Meta glasses so Mahitha can see exactly where Vishnu is looking, and his \"Of course I talk to myself\" T-shirt as Exhibit A that he's become a rogue AI husband.\nChapters\n0:00 Cold open: did someone raise the footrest?\n1:20 Welcome to Episode 19\n2:17 Colonization, the Gurukula system & Machu Picchu\n4:38 \"Diwali Edition\" mirror bags & paying for craftsmanship\n6:11 Respecting artists (and carving stone during a lunar eclipse)\n7:41 AI as an artist's assistant\n9:10 \"Superior intelligence\" & Trump's inner circle\n16:26 Venezuela, Iran & the Strait of Hormuz\n18:06 Why comedians need different perspectives\n19:25 \"Of course I talk to myself\"\n20:12 The rogue AI husband: stop thinking for yourself\n22:31 Meta glasses so your wife can track you\n24:52 Vitamin D deficiency\n25:59 Flock cameras & Enemy of the State\n27:17 Married for seven lives — cows, penguins & chickens\n29:55 The story of Valmiki\n32:05 Snoring through Art of Living meditation\n36:04 \"I don't like change\"\n39:11 Who should be changing?
