Always overwhelmed with admiration whenever some intellectual giants and powerhouses simply admit "l have no idea..." and the like.

Best philosopher of modern time, hope his philosophy becomes a part of education system in India, all of his philosophy is based on recent science research as well as on meditation perspective

Such a phenomenal genius, I wonder if the fact he remained in Germany at a small university and hasn't held a post at Harvard etc. Is the reason we don't see him referenced more often.

Anyhow, hope sincerely to see him in person some day. He seems to be interested in all the things I too am, with the exception of hypnosis which curiously he never talks about. Sam Harris promised us a 2nd podcast, when's that happening!?
