In this episode we explore three thought provoking ideas. First, we delve into Boris Pasternak’s quiet stand against Stalin—a testament to poetry’s power against oppression. Then, a single line from philosopher Mircea Eliade reminds us that to truly grow, one must embrace life’s darker transformations. Lastly, Roberto Calasso warns of creativity’s erosion in our automated age, urging a return to genuine ritual over mindless procedure. Join me in this exploration of words, resistance, and renewal.
