Wings To Awakening by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. I was always interested and had a vaguely interested in Buddhism, but this book laid out everything about it nice and clear(well, in dense language at times), almost like paint-by-numbers. Everythin

I have been trying this since the book came out... I've never been able to get a successful low-maintenance business going, what kind of business did you start?

A common trend I've noticed with successful founders in my small circle - little responsibilities to dependents and a ridiculous abundance of just-in-case-it-fails funds.

Thank you, Commander Data.

Yeah, that was great, thanks. I think I'm getting it. It's basically that we use mental modals to go about our business, but these modals will always be limited in scope. True objectivity is, in a sense beyond us.

Ok, one more question(sorry!), so is it merely about point of view? How does postmodern thinking define objective and subjective, and contrast the two to come to the conclusion that an objective reality does not exist?

Yet eating the apple will nourish, regardless of how we refer to it. The cells in our digestive tract do not care if we think the apple poisoned or not. They will respond to the amount of arsenic present in the fruit though. Is that respons

Agreed. I just listen to the podcasts lately because my podcast app makes it easy to find new content. The IH site is not that great anymore, its hard to find new interviews and the forum is just noise - for me personally at least. I think
