Very cool, looking forward to both of these, really exciting first guests! I’d love to know whether Peter’s engagement with Buddhism has changed his mind on anything—especially but not only on the big question around mindfulness and meditation for and its benefits for the meditator vs external work for others (e.g. campaigning for animals) as they often seem in tension / conflict for time and resources and pursuing a deeper path of enlightenment may take away much of the spirit and fire for changing the world in a more consequentialist sense. It’s talked about a bit in “The Buddhist and the Ethicist” but not as head-on as I was hoping

Great idea!
