Paradoxically Speaking (S2E7)

Hello Friends,

Here is the latest episode of Paradoxically Speaking — a podcast with my good friend Joshua Bertolotti (from The Perennial Meditations Newsletter). For anyone new to Paradoxically Speaking, our conversations attempt to explore the complexities and nuances of living our highest good in the modern world.

Thanks for listening,

Brandon

This conversation explores the themes of beauty, youth, aging, and mortality. The hosts discuss the novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and its exploration of the consequences of eternal youth and beauty. They delve into the concept of the soul and how it is shaped by habit and character. The subjective nature of ideals and preferences is examined, as well as the impact of experience and changing priorities on one's ideals.
