The I Thou Video Series' host Richard Wicka has a conversation with Joel opening with the posited question, 'What Is?' or 'What Is, existentially?'
The discussion response from Richard offers Panta Rhei (i.e., everything changes).
What is identity?
Identity and a Real Self, are there two aspects within each of us?
- Is only one real?
Kireeragard: real world self (work self), imaginary self (the self you desire to be), true self (the one you don't know be discover)
- The question of First Principles (i.e., don't question, axiom)
- Richard as a mentor to many, including Joel, at Home of the Future
- The beginning of Unraveling Religion podcast, when Richard asked Joel 'would you like to do a radio show?'
- Arguments of Philosophy can sharpen one another
- Chavruta and sharping one another
- Thomas Aquinas
- Do things exist outside of time?
- Zen (i.e., in China Ch'an, the Mind Only School of Buddhism) is discussed
- Bodhidharma and Joshu, and the koan 'does a dog have Buddha nature?'
- Joshu started teaching at age of 80 and lived to be 120, he taught for 40 years
- Does this contradict Hieggerder's Being and Time that everything exists in Space and Time
- Is economics the basis of consciousness?
- Richard and Joel deconstruct that premise
- The reciprocity of energy is the basis of healthy community
- How do we support people who do not value the importance of recipocity
- Father Greg Boyle, Gangs Service and Kinship
- Judaism's emphasis on care for the widow, stranger, and the orphan
- The Lubavaticher Rebbe emphases on care of those without parents
- How is this emphases is embeded in Torah?
From Richard Wicka's notes:
- Kierkeggaard spoke about the concrete self (where you are today), the ideal self (the self you aspire to be) and the true self (the self that contains all your potential)
- 'Expanse' (a type of experience) is in contrast to words you use to describe the world.
- You are observing.
- (Identity is a verb not a noun).
- I can't think of anything that exists outside of time. People who think there are such things are following in the footsteps of Plato.
- Krista Tippets has a podcast called 'On Being'.
- The widow, the stranger and the Orphan vs. The Alienated, the ostracized and the damned.
- I am where I am now because of good mentorship.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
