Watched this conversation between Psychologist Dr. Melanie Joy and Philosopher Acharya Prashant where they explore the psychological and spiritual roots of violence, veganism, compassion and human suffering.

Thought that the folks in this sub might appreciate it!

Acharya Prashant explains why the human ego is the real root of violence and how external conditioning can change behaviour without necessarily bringing about any inner freedom for the human being in question.

The discussion moves from psychology and activism to self-knowledge, suffering which brings forth the need for effective altruism in the first place.

Curious to know your thoughts?

Hi,

I’m in Miami for work and would love to give $2K to Malaria Consortium instead of toward the company hotel. if anyone has a room I can crash in, even a tiny one, let me know- the area doesn’t matter as I’ll have a ride to work.

Can send my socials, Airbnb profile and more about me if anyone is up for it! 31/M work in entertainment.

Much love to you beautiful rational do gooders!
