Episode 171: Buddhism vs. Evolution with Guest Robert Wright (Part Two) - a podcast by Mark Linsenmayer

Continuing on Why Buddhism Is True. We discuss the "no self" doctrine as articulated in Buddha's Second Discourse and the modularity-of-mind theory that Bob claims supports it.

What are the ethical implications, and do we really need meditation to achieve its alleged ethical benefits?

End song: "Alphalpha Bhang" by Anton Barbeau, as interviewed on Nakedly Examined Music ep. 50.
