The Critique of Sam Harris, Hallucinogenic Drugs, Hinduism, Meditation and Pseudo-Skepticism.

The Rejection of Philosophy Becomes a Philosophy Unto Itself: Plato, Buddhism, Nihilism.

The latter half of this episode is —increasingly— about Buddhism (reaching a crescendo in which the topic is Buddhist philosophy and nothing but). However, admittedly, for the first twenty minutes or more, you may be wondering if this is an episode entirely about Plato.

Youtube is dead: the lost avant garde of intellectual dissent on the internet.

Implicitly, this is a significant contrast to my old "manifesto" titled On Community, although it does not address the thesis of that video, directly, in any way: if you regard this as a manifesto, it is addressed to the youtuber (or podcaster) as a solitary intellectual dissident, cultural critic, commentator and comedian --not as the center of an incipient community, pulling together like-minded people (as per "the spirit season one") with an ambition to accomplish something more than they could ever attempt alone.

Pali, the ancient language: what was it like to be a scholar of Buddhist history, philosophy and politics in the 21st century?
