I've been absolutely LEVELED with illness for a week. Infinite tea, a fleet of cough drops, and even antibiotics have not been near as effective as lifting the spirit as this WAYFARE essay on pilgrimage by @zacharysdavis. (1/4) wayfaremagazine.org/p/journeys-of-…

Quantum mechanics is an unsettling set of discoveries about the nature of reality. But for the Dalai Lama, quantum mechanics is much closer to the Buddhist understanding of the world, where appearance and reality never quite converge. ministryofideas.org/illuminations/…

Illuminations, a new @ministryofideas series, is now live! Episode 1 is about the first scientific bestseller, how the fall of Adam led to the scientific revolution, and how the original meanings of science and religion can guide us to a better future. ministryofideas.org/illuminations/…

A crisis of meaning can be painful and wrenching, but as @platospodcasts beautifully describes, these encounters with the abyss can also be moments of rebirth and expansion, where we give up our smaller selves and become something more. ministryofideas.org/episodes/mark-…

Making Meaning Episode 3: The Weight of the World The ideology of capitalism breaks our hearts and blinds us to the source of our most abundant meaning—relationships and solidarity with other people. Feat. Kathryn Lofton, Dean of Humanities at @Yale. ministryofideas.org/episodes/kathr…

Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is famous as a play about nothing, but it has endured because it is in fact a play about life. For what is life but a sequential collection of waitings? New Writ Large episode featuring the wonderful Peter Connor. writlarge.fm/episodes/godot

I'm happy to announce a new podcast series I've been working on the last couple of years: Making Meaning Like many people, the pandemic made asking the big questions of existence feel newly urgent. Especially the big question: what is life for? How can my life be meaningful?

Writ Large released its 100th episode today! A centennial episode has to be special, and it was an easy choice at the end: Hamlet. (Harold Bloom would've haunted me otherwise) I'm joined by the great Michael Dobson of the @ShakesInstitute. writlarge.fm/episodes/hamlet

Don Quixote is the funniest book you will ever read. 400 years old and it still busts a gut! But as Timothy Hampton discusses in our new @writlargepod episode, it's also a brilliant exploration of the seductive and transformative power of fiction. writlarge.fm/episodes/quixo…
