      Hey Lex earlier you invited people from different religions like Islam and Christianity, why don't you invite someone from Indic Religions like Hinduism, Buddhism(including Tibetean, Zen), Sikhism, Jainism or from other asian philosophies like Shintosim etc.
      For Hinduism(specifically Adwaita Vedanta) you can invite Swami Sarvapriyananda, for Buddhism someone of Zochekchen Buddhism etc.

      Total legend. He is for sure the one “science communicator” that I distinctly remember always being exciting for me to listen to. Definitely got me hooked on these topics, as a layperson not involved in these fields. He can engage really well at a sort of “low res” level, knowing what will help get an average audience to begin thinking about these things. But, he can also get so much deeper and show off his chops without making it entirely impenetrable, which is definitely a skill outside of the science itself. Granted, I don’t claim to understand a lot of the deeper complex stuff 😂 but, at a minimum I can start imagining how he and others think about these things, hopefully over time grasping some of these things without actually practicing the math haha

    Sean Carroll is definitely the best scientific communicator alive I think. Can make really complex ideas sound simple, is engaging and respectful, doesn't talk down, whilst still gently correcting misconceptions. Brilliant really. Perhaps a slight criticism is that he's just a tad *too* laid-back , could show a bit more passion, but minor nitpick really.

    My first introduction to black holes was at age 8 by a song called "Cygnus X-1" by RUSH. A song consisting of genres of blues, jazz, punk rock, psychedelic, and theater story telling.
    The song is a story of an explorer venturing into a black hole on his ship named the "Rocinante" believing there may be something beyond it. At the end of this intense song, the explorer makes it into the black hole but the listener does not know what becomes of him until the next album called "Hemispheres". The battle between the heart and mind... the explorer in this alternate world in the black hole is dubbed Cygnus, the god of balance at the end of his adventure.

To make it short I resort to concepts of Protagora's "Man is a measure of all things" and Plato's cave expressed indirectly - there's no whatever cognitive value if you cannot grasp it for whatever reason (from Protagoras), and it is a vaste of time trying to get in sync with foreign cognitive domains (from Plato).
