1 - Introduction

In this episode I speak with Scott Santens, a writer and advocate for basic income, the economic idea of providing with all citizens an unconditional basic income guarantee sufficient to meet minimal living needs.

We discuss the merits of this idea, the potential problems it can address, clearing some of the misconceptions, and tackle some of the common objections.

In this episode I talk to Jacob Gotwals, a longtime meditator and a psychotherapist who has created the site and online community called Spiritual Awakening for Geeks. We try to tackle defining spirituality and what it might mean to us, and get into some fun tangents about life as a giant puzzle room, frames of reference, insight, awakening experiences, and the challenges of language to talk about all of this.
