Stoicism and the Cosmic Giggle w/ Rodney Norman
Is the universe really laughing at us all? Should we sit back, watch, and learn to laugh along? Today we are joined by philosopher, stand-up comedian, and social media sensation: Rodney Norman! While Rodney himself isn’t a proponent for the use of any drugs, I find his comedic approach to philosophy refreshing, entertaining, and fun. In this episode we discuss Terence McKenna’s term “the cosmic giggle”, we touch on stoic philosophy, and Rodney shares some of his insights on living a simpler, happier life. Perhaps one of our less psychedelic-centric segments to date, I still find the links between Rodney’s work and the psychedelic experience to be undeniable. Enjoy!!
