This podcast unravels the questions we often avoid -death, identity, shame, and meaning - while also exploring the cultural and political realities of 2025. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, sociology, and history, I examine how we consume information, grapple with belief systems, and confront the shortcomings of institutions. Existential themes run throughout, from the anxiety of death and the isolation of loneliness to the ways people create meaning in uncertain times.

Episodes are built on in-depth research, drawing from books, scholarly texts, and carefully cross-referenced sources, and are woven with personal reflection, mentorship, and professional experience. I aim not only to share knowledge but to model open-minded inquiry: presenting opposing perspectives, exploring why we struggle to change our minds, and showing how emotional awareness can help us move toward more rational, empathetic dialogue. Listeners are encouraged to seek out voices they disagree with, to find common ground without sacrificing critical thinking, and to reflect on how ideological extremes-whether left, right, or rooted in identity-can distort our shared humanity.

Along the way, I’ll draw on historic figures and events across philosophy, politics, religion, and culture to inspire, teach, and warn. The goal is not to glorify or condemn any single perspective, but to learn from the wisdom and mistakes of the past to think more clearly about how we live today. If you’ve ever lain awake questioning your existence or society’s strange logic, this is a space to think deeper, stitch together the chaos, and feel less alone.
