        Honestly, and not to be a wet blanket, but sounds like you're jumping the shark. All of us were hoping you would wake up and become more libertarian, like Dave Rubin has, but you just ... sort of tack sideways all the time, and repeat your mainstream politics and scientism.

        I agree with this and I love @RubinReport. I think being libertarian is fucking amazing when you compare it to most of the right, but not when you compare it with Harris.

        I understand being 'libertarian on social issues'. But Dave seems to be going down this rabbit hole of 'government isn't good for anything but defense'. Rogan exposed how silly his views on regulations are. I used to be a fan of Rubin but the last two years he's lost the plot.

        Agreed. When he said corporations won’t just instantly do the evil thing when regulations are removed, I thought, “well, no, not the evil thing, but the profitable thing, always, no matter what it is. Removing regulations opens up new ways to make money, bottom line.”

        Most debates over AI 'consciousness' are tedious. Here's a more specific question: when we develop Artificial General Intelligence, would it benefit from 'meditating' once in a while? What would 'mindfulness' look like in an AI?

        I just finished M. Pollan’s latest (fantastic). It seems I could fast track years of meditation practice by going on a psychedelic mushroom journey. Does Joseph have thoughts on using psychedelics towards enlightenment? (Love to you and Joseph! 😀)

        Unsolicited...but also just read Pollan's accounts. "Ineffable" is the word he uses a great deal. You will have to experience such a journey yourself. Then decide...for yourself. Find a guide, test the waters and be open to a deeper experience at a later point.

        How does Buddhism view a philosophy like antinatalism? I attended a retreat at IMS and a retreatant asked this question during a Q&A but the teacher punted on the answer. It seems like a valid question given the Buddhist principle of suffering

        In Mahayana, at least post-bodhisattva concept, antinatalism in action would potentially prevent sentient beings from experiencing a human birth, thus causing a stumbling block to enlightenment.

        This makes sense. I wonder how "secular" Buddhists tackle the question

        Reasonable question, since, if one accepts the 4NT, but rejects reincarnation, then why encourage the entry into suffering? Of course this makes one's religion limited in popularity and longevity.

        Would like to hear more of your thoughts on the plausibility of epiphenomenalism or property dualism. Specifically witb regard to the point that conscious experience must at some level interact with physical matter for anyone to communicate knowledge of it physically.

        Also, you've implied we can make clear, even scientific observations about the nature of consciousness through first hand experience but do you think it's at all possible that there are layers of abstraction between the phenomenon of consciousness and what we seem to experience?

        I have noticed that your conversations around mindfulness and meditation rarely touch upon trauma and dealing with difficult emotions (you often talk about mindfulness as an antidote to difficult emotions). Can you discuss trauma from the perspective of meditation?
