Summary
This week's episode is a little bit different.
Last week I met up with my friend and MindPod Network compatriot Sean Dunne and his wonderful producer and girlfriend, Cass Greener at their apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Sean and Cass are expert documentarians. Be sure to check out there work over at Very Ape TV, where all of their films are available for free.
We partook in the devil's weed and a had a pretty free-form and ranging conversation touching on concepts like music, psychedelics and the current global situation (whatever that means!)
One facet of our conversation that I found particularly interesting is when Sean mentioned he thought he could give everything up and become a monk at any time.
This touches on the subject of being an ascetic or being "in the world."
Anyone who's had some type of transcendental experience has come across the feeling that it might be best to give it all up and head to a cave in the Himalays, but is that the right thing to do?
Also, I'd like to point out that 80% of this episode is just me yacking so if you're not into that sorry!

| 1:10.6 | him on before, but essentially he interviews people |
| 1:14.5 | who are typically marginalized, typically not well understood, and just like is really open and |
| 1:21.0 | honest and gives them an opportunity to speak their mind, which I think is a very important thing to do, |
| 1:25.2 | especially when we're dealing with people who |
| 1:27.9 | maybe don't share our same opinions and beliefs about the world. I think it's important to hear |
| 1:32.8 | from those people, too. It's critical, actually, especially when we're trying to come up with |
| 1:37.2 | the template for how to engage with people who disagree with us without being nasty and or jerky. |
| 1:44.1 | So this episode was recorded last week at Sean and Cass's apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. |
