Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike’s Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 DMT and Transcendental Experience00:05:06 Self-Love and Responsible Self-Leadership00:08:19 “The Master and His Emissary”: Duality of Mind and State00:13:07 Reflexivity and the Personal Transformations Inspired by Bitcoin00:16:48 Bitcoin and the Morphing of Modern Mythology00:21:17 The Protocols of Selfhood00:23:14 The Wisdom of the Body00:27:03 Connections Between the Static Layers of Value00:30:07 NYDIG00:31:16 An Analogy for Static Layers of Value: The Computer Tech Stack00:35:08 Mapping Subject-Object Onto the Static Layers of Value00:37:22 The Necessity of Layers00:42:28 Plant Medicines as a Human System Checkup00:51:21 Ignoring the Cost of Creation: A Dangerous Self-Deception00:55:36 Suffering as the Experiential Quality of Being Sacrificed00:59:49 Victims of the Residue from Creating Western CivilizationSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
