Focussed around philosophical, psychological, spiritual, ecological, and political themes, it is not for the faint of heart. It consists of audio only versions of our short life insight videos which we record on camera and longer narrated essays. Both which have their own YouTube channels.

We can serve justice & truth or privilege & power. The more we make compromises to those in privilege & power, the more we diminish our capacity for justice & truth. Better as an intellectual or an artist, to always be a heretic\". Benda overstood something that every age conspires to make us forget: the intellectual exists not to decorate power, but to disturb it. The moment the writer, the professor, the journalist, or the artist begins asking, \"How will this affect my access? My reputation? My invitations? My grants? My career?\" they have already begun the transaction that Benda called treason.
