In this episode of the podcast, I talk about the Gulag. Based mostly on my rendition of Anne Applebaum's book Gulag: A History (of the Soviet Camps), which won the Pulitzer Prize and was the international bestseller.

That Nirvana, where nothing bad happens, and we get endless amount of time to focus on what we actually care about, does not exist. The present moment is all we have. And experience is all we are.
