A departure today, as Matthew eulogizes his teacher and friend Luciano Iacobelli. From the opening:
This story may be a little personal and indulgent, but I’ll take a risk on it because I think it hints at an answer to a question we often get on the podcast about our own beliefs in the existential or spiritual categories.
We spend a lot of time eviscerating bog-standard hypocrisy in the economy of spirituality. Listeners resonate with this, but the project is also depressing, and in the parasocial contract they form with us, finding out that we still believe in something, or that something still provides relief—this becomes important.
It’s never a comfortable question to answer in the abstract. It's a gift when something comes along that shows instead of tells.
