About Us
As avid readers of history, philosophy, science and political theory, among other things, we feel that we learn the best when we talk to others, discuss and engage our ideas more intensively. In our many get-togethers, we found our conversations drift from one book to another, one philosophical idea to another, and soon realized that since we enjoy talking about these things so much, we might as well record them and see what others feel about them.
Driwa “དྲི་བ་” means question in Tibetan. In our search for a name for the podcast, we decided that this was the most appropriate name we could come up with. Central to our intentions is the emphasis we want to place on questioning, without regards to whether answers to these questions exist or not. We believe that it is the incessant questioning of ideas that leads not only to a better understanding of things but also opens up avenues for new ways of thinking. Also integral to our intentions for the podcast is to arouse a sense of doubt in the listeners. We believe that the sense of certainty of knowledge is its biggest hindrance. Doubt forces one to ask questions, and questions lead to engagement with knowledge. So with the dual edifices of questions and doubts we want to build a little community where we can engage in free, open engagement with topics and ideas of all kind.
We hope the listeners will take something from the podcast, and use it as a platform for engaging their inquisitive minds as well as the others just like them. We do not purport to be experts of any kind. Nothing we say is of particular authority on the subjects we speak on. We are simply two people interested in learning more about things and engaging others as we do so. Therefore, input from the listeners is pivotal in shaping the direction that this podcast takes. Please leave comments on the content, on the structure and any other aspect of this podcast that might help us improve it for everyone. Hope you enjoy listening and learning with us!
