This is a banger. Prof. Anand Vaidya of philosophy specializes in Vedic philosophy, epistemology, and we talk about God, free will, mathematics, Kripke, and even the ego as both an illusion and real.

NOTE: The perspectives expressed by guests don't necessarily mirror my own. There's a versicolored arrangement of people on TOE, each harboring distinct viewpoints, as part of my endeavor to understand the perspectives that exist.
