We tip the iceberg of a much larger conversation on the art of rhetoric and the current protests amidst the overarching world situation - fueled by the misleading media propaganda machine. We talk about conspiracy theories, humanities classes, government corruption, some thought experiments and personal observations for the future of humanity, some ways to navigate difficult conversations, Neuralink, wealth gaps, and remaining faithful and optimistic for the future of civilization. A hopeful contribution to the bigger conversation and larger view - enjoy episode 044.
