Russell Brand
About this episode

Russell chats to Jack Kornfield, Buddhist teacher, spiritual teacher and best-selling author about the moral fabric of our society and the future role of AI in our lives.

What is morality within our current news landscape, particularly when focusing on figures such as Donald Trump calling for peace in Ukraine or Tucker Carlson announcing he's taken zero covid shots?  Plus, we engage with Sam Altman's concerns regarding AI as a 'frighteningly destructive force,' discussing ways to harmonize the tangible world of technology with the intangible realm of spirituality.
