    Reactivity
    Jun 2 2025

    Sam and Joe take on listener Liv’s topic about reaction, reactivity and being “triggered”. This leads to personal reflections on responses to geopolitical events and other things in life that lead them to react strongly. Some big world problems get a thorough going over and some interpersonal beefs get ironed out.

    Tao Te Ching - Verse 2
    May 17 2025

    Sam and Joe reunite to tackle Verse Two of the Tao Te Ching:

    Everybody on earth knowing
    that beauty is beautiful
    makes ugliness.

    Everybody knowing
    that goodness is good
    makes wickedness.

    For being and nonbeing
    arise together;
    hard and easy
    complete each other;
    long and short
    shape each other;
    note and voice
    make the music together;
    before and after
    follow each other.

    That’s why the wise soul
    does without doing,
    teaches without talking.
    The things of this world
    exist, they are;
    you can’t refuse them.

    To bear and not to own;
    to act and not lay claim;
    to do the work and let it go:
    for just letting it go
    is what makes it stay.
