A New Introduction

“Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day.” – C.G. Jung

We are releasing this episode as a new introduction to the podcast.

We are releasing this episode as a new introduction to the podcast. Initially recorded as Season 1, Episode 23. We have a little bit different type of episode today. Shawn and David talk about what it has been like recording the podcast over the past 6 months. We reflect on what we’ve taken away from Season 1, and what inspired us to create the podcast in the first place. This episode serves as a review of the past season and a recap of our first recording, Season 0 “Episode 0.2”, where we brainstormed what the podcast should be about. We also go off the rails and David tries to explain paradigms of knowledge, quantum physics, and then decides maybe he doesn’t actually understand quantum physics all that well.
