Скачать или смотреть Why is everything an illusion? Discussion with Wing Vasiksiri | Decode Your 20s 043

You are continually classifying things and actions into "good" or "bad". What gives you the certainty in your judgement?

Wing Vasiksiri, Berkeley graduate, VC and Co-Founder of iSeed SEA, joins the discussion and shares his thoughts on illusions, happiness, philosophy and human behaviour. Check Wing's blog: https://www.wingvasiksiri.com/

A central question of our discussion is: "Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so". If you consider the grand Universe, anything you do doesn't matter. However, your actions matter to your smaller universe. How to reason about this contradiction?
