Solo Sawyer - What is Discombobulated?
November 30, 2020 04:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MBOn this episode I talk a different feeling Thanksgiving this year, lay out my plan to hopefully produce better episodes by working on them more and putting them out less often, and I give a broad stroke definition of what I mean by "I'm discombobulated". It takes into consideration everything from cigarettes to tax brackets to our sun eventually boiling earth's oceans to the heat death of the universe; and it arrives at this feeling of 'WE'RE FUCKED!'. I'm hoping I can talk about more speci...

Solo Sawyer - 4 Noble Truths

I've been trying to figure out why improving my outside doesn't lead to an improved inside, on this episode I look to Buddhism to tell me why that is. Have you ever looked into the teachings of Buddhism? Not sure religion is quite the word I'd use, but reach out with any ideas or other perspectives on the matter as always. Thank you for the support and I hope you enjoy!
