Our guest today is Jonathan Bluestein, an accomplished scholar, martial arts teacher and author. He is the head of Blue Jade Martial Arts International. He has lived in several countries, visited dozens, was an infantryman, a police investigator, a translator and even hosted a short television spot in his youth.

An eclectic researcher and intellectual, shifu Bluestein has published 5 books and over 50 articles, on topics ranging from socio-economic theories, Jungian Psychology, Oriental histories and traditional Chinese martial arts. Bluestein's books and articles typically step outside the boundaries of accepted genres and norms, expressing ideas and concepts which other authors are afraid to discuss or even consider.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The importance of Gong Fu + Ikigai
  • How to find more depth + meaning in life
  • Politics move left/right; consciousness moves up/down
  • Should you have a mentor? How do you find them?
  • The dangers of following elites
  • Science as a false religion
  • + so much more!
