Maheesha and Kenneth have trouble finding a place to record this podcast about uncertainty — and when they finally do, they are disturbed by unruly birds, obnoxious cars, and screaming girls near the fountain. They learn to embrace uncertainty in its many forms (the media, the economy, peak oil, washing machines) and come to understand that, just maybe, uncertainty might be freedom.• Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/addtocartmag/• For the more adventurous and literary, see our magazine: https://addtocartmag.com• Donate: https://addtocartmag.com/donate/

Ka Ming Yuen, who runs a martial arts school in Sydney, speaks to Kenneth and Maheesha about growing up in Southwest London, learning wing chun in London and then Hong Kong, and discovering Vipassana meditation. Along the way, they discuss depression and resistance, grandmasters and father figures, the effect of food on the emotions, and learning to accept what is.

Nick Sun, a former stand-up comedian and herbal shaman, joins Maheesha and Kenneth to further discuss groundedness. Topics include manifesting ideas in reality, the voices in our head, embodiment, and sex—but also, somehow, black dudes and dementia.
