Summary

Join Matt and Chris for a trademark 'short' episode as they continue to navigate the complex, occasionally controversial world of Dr. K in this second multi-dimensional episode. This time they take a look at some more recent content and reflect on whether they were wrong to identify Dr. K as such a strong advocate of Ayurvedic medicine. In their investigations, they explore the science of visualisation and manifestation, updated genomic information about the Doshas, and the power of mantras to bend the universe.

But primarily they focus on the recent lively discussion between Dr. K and another famous YouTube Doctor, Dr. Mike. Their discussion touched on various topics including the mechanisms of science, the power of consciousness, personalized treatments, and the placebo effect. All good fodder for the DTG grinder even if it ends up, as it so often does, with Chris and Matt gently discussing their points of view about the nature of mind and the (alleged) mystery of subjective experience (we are sorry!).

So join us for a thought-provoking ride through scientific criticism, holistic practices, and age-old East vs. West / Alternative vs Science-based medicine debates as we attempt to decipher whether Dr. K is a modern-era internet sage or a charismatic storyteller and alternative medicine advocate.

0:00.0	You're going to. Oh, Hello, and we're welcome to the coding the guru's, the podcast, where an anthropologist and a psychologist
0:30.4	listen to the greatest minds the world has to offer, and we try to understand what they're talking about.
0:34.7	I'm Matt Brown, Chris Kavanagh is my co-host. He's the water to my fire, the earth to my wind.
0:42.4	He's my complimentary dosha.
0:44.8	Get it, Chris.
0:45.8	Oh, wow. Yeah, that's very good. The earth or water to fire isn't a great combination in general. That means I
0:54.4	deauch you and you know I stop you from flourishing my I put you out. Oh I know you're
1:00.7	the paper to my scissors no paper to my stone.
1:03.7	You're just not doing well with your analogies.
1:08.6	You're not, you're, this is the problem with you,afus, but you're slow to speed up, your top speed, you're like wiser, you know?
1:20.0	It feels like a slur calling me that I object.
1:23.6	Look, everyone is a little bit kaff about.
1:26.6	Everyone is a little bit kaffa.
1:29.6	That's the way it works.
1:30.7	We learned about this.
1:32.1	We did. We can't say we're not educated. But what are we learning about today, Chris?
1:37.0	Well, we're back with Dr. Kay for part two in our tripartite examination of his content and last time we looked at his
1:47.7	outline of the iavitic understandings but that was a video from 2019, which is from relatively early in
1:56.1	this channel's progression, and we were going to look originally at a much more recent discussion to be it he had with an alert
2:06.1	Dr. Mike which also touches on Ayurvedic to be it similar to we were covering, but it's much more recent.
2:15.6	I thought that would be fair to see if things have changed and progressed, and also in a different
2:21.3	environment instead of outlining the you know, the iavatic system from a kind of interested practitioner point of view, more discussing it in the context of someone who might not fully endorse, you know, all of the same things, right?
