Naked Apes
Naked Apes
Podcast Description
This is a space where I aim to engage people on deeper conversation topics spanning between spirituality and philosophy - examining what it means to be a living, conscious being at all, and what the implications of that meaning are for how we conduct our lives. My hope is to cultivate a deep sense of curiosity and wonder while rejecting intellectual laziness. When we ask the right questions, there is magic to be found in the world exactly as it is that needs no supernatural embellishment.
