Shane Smith Has Questions The Spiritual Journey Behind Creativity & Art ft. Rick Rubin | Shane Has Questions | Vice News
Rick Rubin dives deep into the essence of creativity, exploring its spiritual roots and the role of sensitivity in artistic expression. From his reflections on nature as the perfect balance to his thoughts on art as a universal language, Rick discusses how every piece of art — whether it’s music, painting, or writing — connects us to something greater.
He also touches on how the power of creativity transcends barriers, overcoming propaganda and biases, and opens the door to greater understanding and connection.
The episode also dives into Rick’s anti-surgery health journey, his relationship with red light, circadian rhythm, and diet, and how even a burst appendix led to a spiritual insight at a Barnes & Noble. They discuss AI, propaganda, post-pandemic polarization, and how the greatest danger to truth is our inability to sit with complexity. Part deep dive, part meditative retreat, this is not just a podcast—it’s a portal into how Rick Rubin sees, feels, and listens to the world.
