Episode notes

Brenden Weber is the host of The Philosophy Guy, a podcast that explores wise ideas, often in a pop culture analyzing context. In this host-to-host discussion, we look at the flaws in the materialist worldview and consider a variety of alternative cosmologies. We also consider the epistemology or moral lessons available to us by looking at intelligence in nature, the power of the individual, the ideas of thinkers like J. Krishnamurti, and more.

In the Plus+ Extension, we examine the mystical ramifications of the idealist worldview, riff on non-physical (a.k.a. alien) forms of independent consciousness, psychedelics as medicine, destiny, The Witcher, and a philosophical look at Rick And Morty.
