This episode of Skeptico.

A show about what yoga is really all about.

Inhale, arms up to the sky.

Good. Remember, this is not a competition, although you two seem to be the best in the class.

It's really important in this pose that you arch your back and keep it flat at the same time.

I feel like those are opposing ideas. No, they're not because you're arching your back and keep it flat at the same time? I feel like those are opposing ideas.

No, they're not because you're arching your back up while it's flat.

And what yoga is really all about.

But it's a little more than a metaphor.

Because if we're taking information and we're actually rendering physical things around us,

now that's a game and that's a

simulation, but it's just so far more advanced. That's what Elon Musk was trying to say, right?

No, I think they're saying something different. I mean, you can't have it both ways. If it's more

than a metaphor, it's not a metaphor. I go back to your definition of what yoga is. It's the

cessation of the world pools of thoughts and feelings in the river of consciousness. You're talking

about God and divine here, right? Mr. MIT tech entrepreneur. You're way past any kind of

Elon Musk simulation. I think we get into this kind of backdoor materialism where we kind of

want to have it both ways. That's part of it. But part of it is that we don't have the language

to express what these things really are. So we have to express them in language that we might

actually understand.

That first clip was from the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

And it has an appearance of Russell Brand, who I think is one of the most terrific people producing content on the planet at this moment.
