In a world overwhelmed by noise—both literal and ideological—what happens when you remove all distractions and sit in silence for a week?
went on an intense 10-day silent meditation retreat to find out.We discussed the benefits he gained from prolonged silent meditation, whether everyone should do a silent meditation retreat, why Buddhism wants people to do this, and whether modern life is anti-enlightenment. In the time of 24/7 news cycles and never-ending notifications, this conversation is an invitation to go deeper—way deeper.
If you’re curious about secular spirituality, Buddhism, and seeking something bigger in this life than just material wealth and intellectualism, this conversation is for you.
Join my next livestream for a real-time black sheep hangout + discussion on topics like groupthink, the philosophy of individualism, radical self-reliance, and other topics people seeking meaningful lives in modern times need. Stop by via YouTube, Rumble, Instagram, Substack, or X, [almost] every Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
If you want a community based on your values, help build it!
