🎙️ Episode 30 — The Life You Want Is Boring AF (and That’s the Point)
💡 Hint: You’re not burned out. You’re just addicted to novelty — and allergic to peace.

We’ve been sold a lie.
That happiness is thrilling. That success looks like dopamine, peak performance, cold plunges, and viral enlightenment.

But here’s the brutal truth:
The life you secretly crave? It's predictable. It's rhythmic. It's stable. It's ...

🎙️ Episode 29 — Dry Brain, Dumb Choices: How Lack of Hydration F*cks You

💡 Hint: You’re not tired. You’re just under-watered and over-confident.

But nobody wants to admit the most basic truth:

You’re one skipped glass of water away from making dumb life choices.

Episode 3 — “The Karmic Ripples: Patterns, Not Punishment” (Podcast)Series: The Thinking Stack | Karma Decluttered | Layer 3: Systemic Foresight [Systems View]You’ve shredded the karma-as-moral-policing myth—now it’s time to dismantle the bigger illusion: that karma is linear, fair, and personal.

Episode 1 — “Karma Isn’t What You Think: The Lies We Call Truth”

Series: The Thinking Stack | Karma Decluttered | Layer 1: Cognitive Cleanse [Facts Only]

Think karma is a cosmic punch-card—do good, collect brownie points, do bad, get smacked?

Delete that app.

In this Episode, We strip the concept back to its Sanskrit root kri (“to act”), map how every thought, lie and breath etches neural grooves (samskara), and show why karma is less...

This isn’t just a recap. It’s a synthesis.
We connect how legal fog shaped moral blindness, how body trauma feeds algorithms, how rivers link war rooms to glaciers, and how dignity can be more viral th...

Who owns justice in Kashmir? India demands sovereignty, Pakistan cries plebiscite, the Valley pleads for azadi, and Pandits beg for safety. In this raw courtroom of ethics, we unpack sacred hypocrisies—AFSPA, proxy wars, civilian martyrs—and why every actor in the conflict fails at moral consis...

Before the slogans and bloodshed, there was a sale deed. This episode strips Kashmir to its atomic truths—1846's sale, 1947's rushed accession, a plebiscite that never came, and 70 years of manipulated numbers and contrasting narratives. We demolish the mythologies and surface the ...

Colossal Biosciences claims they’ve done it—brought back the dire wolf.
Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi are here. Cute pups. Big teeth. Bigger questions.

He wrote a mirror — and called it masculinity.
But stare too long, and what you’ll see isn’t strength. It’s survival-mode shame wearing sunglasses and shouting at women.
