0:00.0	Hi, this is Against Everyone with Connor Habebev. Friends, we're always in a dance, a dance with
0:08.6	what's happening in our time, and a dance with the work of deepening our capacity for life,
0:16.2	moving forward, offering what we can offer amongst what's happening in our time. Is that a dance? Yeah.
0:23.7	Those are our partners, at least, and we keep switching off from one to the other.
0:28.6	There are plenty of questions and considerations right now about how to approach the political
0:34.3	climate, approach what's happening and act on it effectively. But in the midst of
0:42.5	war and the appearances of madness in our moment, there are other pressing questions too,
0:49.4	which I don't think are being as addressed as much in this dance. How do we live? How do we have a good life in all of this?
0:58.7	How do we approach each day with a sense of curiosity and involvement? I mean, after all, without

1:31.0	at the expense of looking at the world. I'm not asking us to ignore the world to focus on just
1:38.7	being happy. That would just bring illusory results anyway. But I do mean not just looking into how to resist, but into the creation of good itself.
1:53.0	Spending time in proximity to truth, love, wisdom, kindness, as well as righteousness.
2:01.9	I recently got a chance to do this on a short trip to create a few episodes of this show.
2:09.1	The journey of that trip ended in a cold place, the snow covered south of Norway,
2:15.0	where I recorded episode 243 with the occult practitioner and writer
2:19.1	Ari Torsen. That episode's already out. And it began in the sun-warmed island of Vise in Croatia,
2:28.9	talking with my friend, the philosopher, visionary thinker, and writer S Sretchenko Horvatt. I am struck, looking
2:37.8	back at this short trip, with how I encountered completely different views of and on the world,
