In this fascinating video, Yale University professor and experimental philosopher Joshua Knobe “takes us through some mind-bending, soul-deconstructing thought experiments that push our notions of the self to the limit and past it, into a new understanding of our basic existential anchor.” { read more }

Be The Change

How has who you are today changed from who you were five years ago? Practice keeping in mind the transient nature of the self so that you do not get too attached to the way things are. Change is constant.
