A conversation where performance artist and scholar Orsolya Bajusz tells her story about how as an activist she was attacked and scapegoated by a social justice lynch mob and how she won the war against mass psychosis and authoritarianism. A critique of woke culture and political correctness and how to live in a post woke future. Orsolya Bajusz concludes by telling us: ‘Don’t be a doormat, don’t be a pillar saint!’.
Our third discussion of various Tantric traditions and Tantra’s place in the west. What are the causes and conditions necessary for Tantra to flourish? What is the value of Neo Tantra? How to preserve ‘The barred absolute’, or the secrecy necessary for genuine tantric practice?

A description of the 9 vehicles of Buddhism including Tantra, comparing the Tantric approach with Western ‘eventological’ religion and Zoroastrianism. This talk is shorter than usual because the depth of this topic requires at least 3 more talks, and this might be easier to digest. But it is still full of our usual mischievous fun and interruption of the banal.
