In our very first episode of Warrior Radio I sit down with Vincent Horn of Buddhist Geeks.
Buddhist Geeks is an organization exploring the convergence of Buddhism and emerging technology. Through their podcast, they explore uber-interesting topics such as:
- What are the biological markers of an enlightened mind?
- How can technology be used to track the effectiveness of your meditation practice?
- If the mind is akin to an operating system, how can it be hacked to experience higher levels of focus, creativity, and contentment?
- How can emerging technologies such as Augmented / Virtual reality be used to create more powerful spiritual practices?
We dive into these topics and more in this interview. Enjoy!
