A Solo-Session about Human Nature and Where We Are Today 47:12

29 days ago47:12

47:12

Send us a text This EP is a solo session. I didn't have an interview recorded, and I decided I would take the time to talk about where we find ourselves today in society at large, and perhaps what has led us to a difficult and unsteady state. The world at large ebbs and flows, grows, and contracts, and we as human citizens struggle to know what to look toward for solace and a sense of control. It's not easy living on this planet, but a lot of what can make it a better experience is how we understand ourselves. How what we see, and why we see it drives how we feel, and ultimately what we experience. I hope you find some value in my ramblings.
