Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.
If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the unknown,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

My biggest takeaway from this was that ChatGPT can sling me prescription Oxy. In seriousness, this was a fantastic episode. High quality discourse all around. Hopefully you two can have Troy back on again soon.

if half the listeners gave 200 sats (5 US cents) per listen, value 4 value podcast apps such as fountain will be the dominant pod service and help usher in a Bitcoin world.
