Summary

How do we deal with our world when life as we know it  changes, when everything we once knew to be true no longer is true, and when we must confront the cognitive dissonance that comes with such a rude awakening? The key lies in realizing that what is unfolding is, in fact, an awakening. As we navigate the new reality that is Covid-19, we have an opportunity to learn from the masters and teachers who facilitate such an awakening. Daryl Davis is one such guru.  In addition to being an amazing musician, Daryl's claim to fame is getting hundreds of members of the KKK to leave the organization. You heard that right.  As an African-American who regularly hangs out with klan leaders, Daryl's very being serves as a fodder for cognitive dissonance -- and, as you'll hear in this episode, cognitive dissonance is what awakens folks to the quest of self-discovery, truth, and enlightenment.  P/S As promised, you can subscribe to the all new ToE weekly newsletter here.

Popular Lectures on Scientific Subjects by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821 - 1894) LibriVox This presents a summary of many of Hemholtz's areas of research. He investigated the workings of the brain in its appreciation of art and music, and also developed some of the first rigorous ideas of how our solar system formed itself. Then, he was a contributor to the new theories of Einstein's curved space-time universe, and lastly, worked with the nascent Quantum Theory. He lived one of the most productive eras of history.

One "barrel" was to be a BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY ABOUT each one, and the second barrel was to be a selection of that scientist's own writings about his own work. This book does both in one: the first part is a compendium of his works and then follows an autobiography. - Summary by William Jones Studies in Pessimism Arthur Schopenhauer, an early 19th century philosopher, made significant contributions to metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics. His work also informed theories of evolution and psychology, largely through his theory of the will to power – a concept which Nietzsche famously adopted and developed. Despite this, he is today, as he was during his life, overshadowed by his contemporary, Hegel.
