My friend Pen interviewed me about Type 1 Diabetes, which I've lived with for 38 years. This is the second episode, in which we focus on my current daily experience living with diabetes. We also discuss how the intensity of managing diabetes relates to the book I'm writing, Neither/Nor , which explores the nuances between conceptual understanding and lived experience. I emphasize the need for a balance between experiential and conceptual knowledge, drawing from my own life to illustrate how these realms relate. The first episode, in which we covered early diagnosis, is available here . Clerestory by Bryan Kam • Writing on Substack • Support this podcast at Patreon…

We discuss the difference between causality and the Buddhist understanding of conditionality, which I wrote about in my article "Dependent origination without any Pali." This is practical technique for ending suffering in every day life, but I will argue that it has consequences for scientific insights as well. In this episode we also cover mental proliferation, rumination, anxiety and depression, as well as the question of whether meditation leads to detachment.

This is a live conversation I recorded on Twitter Spaces on 16 June 2022, between me ( Bryan Kam ) and Achim Rothe . We discuss our history of note-taking, our usage of personal knowledge management, and tools for thought. Achim discusses how he came to build Trickle.app , and I discuss how David Allen's Getting Things Done and Sönke Ahrens' How to Take Smart Notes led me to build my own knowledge management system, an implementation of Zettelkasten . We also discuss how software development relates to knowledge usage, metasystems, pragmatism, the problem of never revisiting notes, and how to decide what to remember, Schopenhauer, how note-taking relates to photo-taking. Errata: I said that Schopenhauer is quoting "Owen Smith"; I'm thinking of Sir William Jones (1764–1794). Schedule a Twitter space with me!…

This episode is about the universal versus the particular, in film, poetry and prose. There's a new thing, which is that you can now read this episode's transcript ! In this episode, I discuss the Wenders film Wings of Desire ( Der Himmel über Berlin , 1987). (Wenders' Q&A should be posted on the BFI YouTube channel .) I also consider the relationship of the universal to the particular; see this Twitter thread . I refer to The Master & His Emissary , by Iain McGilchrist (2009), as well as The Problem of Knowledge , by Ernst Cassirer (1950), Conversations with Goethe (1836–1848). I also refer to Being You , by Anil Seth (2021). At the end, I read " Love Constant Beyond Death " (1648), by Francisco de Quevado, translated by Margaret Jull Costa.
