Ep. 101 - Silence

In this episode, Aaron and I discuss the value of silence as a means of respite from constant stimulation via music, podcasts, media, etc. Does this constant stream of noise serve to distract us from ourselves, and silence allows us to regain a sense of focus and awareness? Or can silence serve as its own type of distraction? Is silence essential to the utopic vision? If you like what you hear, find us on Patreon at patreon.com/therilkeanzoo for more content.
