Sweeny vs Bard Ep. 10: Tantra, Crazy Wisdom, and The Need for Mercy
This is a wide ranging discussion about the need for mercy and eccentricity in the age of social media witch hunts. We talk about how ugly perfection is in politics, art, and all aspects of life—how asymmetry, human failure, and wildness are necessary in the path towards human wisdom. We don’t need role models, according to Bard, but people who challenge us.
