Doing nothing absolutely - 什麼都不做就是做到最好
“If you are beyond all grasping at an object and at a subject, that is the monarch of all views. If there is no distraction, it is the monarch of all meditations. If there is no effort, it is the monarch among all conducts. When there is no hope and no fear, that is the final result, and the...

Dragon slaying and worship - 屠龍拜龍
"How can we forget those ancient myths from the beginnings of all peoples, the myths of the dragons who turn into princesses at the last minute? Maybe every dragon in our life is a princess, just waiting to see us perform a beautiful, courageous act for once. Maybe every terror is, at absolute...

Learning how to receive 卡巴拉
It's been a while and so the 仙島 Headless Thinking team decided to sit together and discuss a topic we've been studying the past few months: Kabbalah. While this tradition isn't a big secret anymore, it still has a mysterious aura to it. In this episode, we try and dispel some of the basic...

Mediadrome, the new flesh of the internet 互聯網的新肉體
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Most likely everyone has heard George Berkeley's famous thought experiment, which has led to at least three centuries of metaphysical ponderings on the nature of perception and observation. But we want to ask a...

The gates of death & the doors of perception 眾妙之門
We aren't living in the most prudish of time periods, but we certainly haven't been trail blazing as much as we think we have. A lot of ideas that were explored more than half a century ago are still realms left unmapped. In "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley, we get, next to a dive into...

The medieval witch 中世紀女巫
The digital world loves trailblazing, but it's only a few in number who really manage to upset the consensus. In this episode we'll look at a book I recently finished, "La Sorcière" (Satanism and witchcraft, a study in medieval superstition) by Jules Michelet, who definitely did his fair share of...

Conspiracies and revelations 陰謀和啟示
Without mentioning the events that occured around this time a year ago and the uncertainties around other things literally floating around since late 2019, let's just say that among people there's a general distrust in the main story. Conspiracies have been springing up like mushrooms, some…

The last campfire stories 最後的篝火故事
The holidays are a time when people gather and share a nice meal and a bunch of stories to fill the night. Cultures, being made up of people, also like to share stories. In fact, stories might just be the DNA of a culture. One cannot imagine a culture without a set of core stories it tells itself...

How just sitting down solves everything 坐下來解決一切
We all need to chill out. Especially in a world that resembles a Bosch painting more than some inviting picknick scene in 19th century France. But we also need to do more than just chill out. We need to do absolutely nothing. If you're imagining a guru on top of a mountain saying this, you're not...

The strange magic of philosophy 哲學的魔法
After some people-watching with the street dogs of Greece and having our craniums sweat insights with the help of the gymnasium of philosophy, we continue our city trip to the polis by having a closer look at the origins of this entire culture of rational reflection. "Know Thyself" is one of the...

The Cynics - How philosophy can stop overthinking 犬儒主義者
Philosophy is often thought to be the very opposite of a mind at peace. Many people even avoid it as they assume it will only lead to restlessness, a mind caught in a storm of thoughts. An unlikely bunch of philosophers known as the Cynics, the “Dogs”, show how this is wrong. For more…
