a podcast about our kinship with animals.
“Don’t believe something just because it has been acquired or seemingly validated by repetition, tradition, rumour, doctrine, axiom, reasoning, personal bias, reputation, or because you’ve heard it from your teacher. You yourselves know that these things will lead to harmful and negative outcomes. So abandon them.”
Gautama Buddha, from the Kalama Sutta
