Episode 45

Black Sheep, Candelaria & Divide and Conquer with Bernardo Pacheco

Bernardo Pacheco grew up in a low neighborhood on the south side of Mexico City, the youngest of three, black sheep by temperament. We talked about the stories we keep telling ourselves about our upbringings, the difference between a word like mande and what it actually carries, how the Catholic Church is not Christianity, the two kinds of gringos, why most ideologies are a distraction from the inner work, and whether the world is headed toward a cataclysmic reset or just another scramble. Also: investing ethics, the movie Roma, Edward Bernays, and the question I ask everyone at the end.
