Episode notes
Moral vs Political Dilemma
- You can either be moral or political, but not both, because politics requires seeing the other side as an enemy.
- Moral hypocrisy becomes the winning strategy in politics as conceding points means losing the struggle.

- The alternative to being political in today's sense is to be religious, placing hope in another world beyond temporal things.
- Being religious frees you from political games and teaches navigating reality with humility and caution.
