Jim Newman is a Non-Duality non-teacher who meets the paradox of living by offering the idea that there is nothing at all at his YouTube channel,‪@JimNewman01‬. This is one of the most perplexing conversations we've ever had on the podcast, and is somewhere between a dadaist art piece, an Andy Kaufman performance, and an Andy Warhol show. It is best to sit back, allow it to wash over you, and to embrace for a moment that there is no there, there. 00:00:00 Go! 00:00:17 What is non-duality 00:08:47 All yearning is for the end of experience 00:15:41 Pain in non-understanding 00:21:29 Is non-duality disempowering? 00:33:15 The sense of things being done 00:44:36 Is non-duality useful or harmful? 00:52:58 Do you believe in the world? 01:02:29 Cats as Zen masters & explusion from Eden 01:06:33 Apparent v. real 01:15:55 Individuals as unreal 01:29:19 Increasing worldly discontent 01:34:57 Century of the Self 01:42:00 Reason to make the world better or worse 01:52:47 A sci-fi virus that ruled humanity Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord:   / discord   #philosophyofscience #philosophy #skepticism #truebeliefs #epistemology #knowledge Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:    / demystifyingscience   AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics    / @materialatomics   Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.
