Ep 20: Power, Privilege, and Why JFK's Assassination Still Matters
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November of 1963 was one of the most significant events of the 20th century. Over the past 60 years, a slew of stories have been told about who killed the president and why - elements of the CIA and American military, the Soviets, Castro and the Cubans, the mafia, or some strange amalgamation of them all? One thing we know for sure is the story the Warren Commission tells about Lee Harvey Oswald being the one and only person involved in the assassination is dubious at best.
In this episode of What's What, we focus on the military-industrial complex, the CIA, and the coup d'état theory of JFK's assassination; citing Oliver Stone's 1991 film "JFK". The second half of the episode takes a detour into power and privilege dynamics in the United States and how racial grievances are fueling misguided public policy.

Ep 19: Death, Suicide, and Spiritual Resilience
Death is a topic that is often avoided or ignored, but it is one of the few things that is absolutely certain for living beings. In this episode of What's What, Rushi and Chris discuss Eastern and Western perspectives on death, the moral problems with suicide and medically assisted dying, and the spiritual aspects of the dying process.
“When death comes, it's just like winter. We don't say, 'There ought not to be winter.' That the winter season, when the leaves fall and the snow comes, is some kind of defeat, something which we should hold out against. No. Winter is part of the natural course of events. No winter, no summer. No cold, no heat."
- Alan Watts
