the beauty of this interview/podcast is that - Biswa represents a LOT of audience members (from Engineering/science background) and has asked questions that most viewers would understand or would be intrigued about. Devdutt Pattanaikji ke to kya kehne.. he is a guru of philosophy, mythology, fiction, GOD. So even though this is an 'unlikely pairing' this is perfect.. Sharin and Anuya.. wishing more success to you girls.. !! keep em coming
I really like the fact that you guys are bringing Indian authors to the web and making people like me appreciate our own gems.
My favourite comedian and my favourite author both on the same platform..Hit like even before watching...😍😍😍😍
Two great representatives of the intellectual Odiya. Proud 💗

Dude just watched this episode !Devdutt Patnaik just predicted the reason for the Producers messing up GOT!! this is epic !
Devdutt and Biswa! What an intellectual and interesting conversation... Absolutely loved it!
I really loved his mythology software analogy. Yes, our desires, pursuits and values are equievalent to 'gods.'
Two of my fav. People. I love reading philosophical and narrative approach of devdutt and Biswa ka qa kehna..he is best aadmi ♥️
Biswa is spot on, translations do distort (unintentionally) the original meaning of the Scriptures, (try it for yourself in your own mother tounge and to other languages ) and biswas I think didn't mean to say "propaganda" he intended to say "propagated" but great Devdutt has answers to all questions, he's a knowledgeable guy and an amazing author
You should have released the uncut version. Biswa disagrees on lots of Devdutt's points but does not says it out of respect.

Really? That's very interesting. Devdutt has some extremely problematic opinions and says a lot of incorrect stuff (even in this video). I'll respect Biswa even more if he had the courage to challenge him

Biswa does a good job I should say. Asks the right questions. Devdutt is great too. I love how he tries to slide in the software terminology analogies to make us understand :) Overall, as a concept, I like how they discuss ideas/perceptions instead of specific books. Well done and Thanks!

Very interesting concept for a video. I love both these gentlemen and their work. I love the fact that Biswa was chosen as the person to ask questions because his view points and scepticism contrasts very well with Devdutt sir's vast knowledge on mythologies and literature in general. It was a fun episode. Looking forward to more of this content.
Two of my favourite people! This was interesting.
My favourites together!
FINALLY someone admitting that the last few seasons of GoT have not been good. :/ I keep seeing everyone (except the hardcore blogs on tumblr and elsewhere) just praising GoT continuously and how it keeps getting better and I always rate season 5 and 7 at the bottom of the list. Tbh I feel the lack of source material post S4 shows clearly. Good episode, barring sound issues, liked Biswa's questions and Devdutt Pattanaik is always fun to listen to!
Well spirituality rests on the idea that if you dissolve your limited identity and identify only with the infinite, you'll become divine. So I don't agree that you'll go mad if you let go of your mythology. On the contrary, you'll simply start to live in reality rather than the made up world in your head - you'll get enlightened.
I fucking love this channel!!!!
Watching both together is soo Awesome..
आज तक सोंचता था why should I read Devdutt ? आज पता चल गया । Love you books on toast for this ❤❤❤👍👍
I'm loving the fact that this video is satisfying both my extremely opposite rationales...
Two of the Most Famous Odiyas Together
Truly the best episode on this channel yet! I did'nt know Devdutt Pattnaik was such a fun guy. The audio sucks, but you know about it.
Can sense change is Biswa's pursuit, with the kind of people he interacts and meta content he is contributing to these days. Good change!
Finally Devdutt is here. ThanksPS - missed anuya's puns.
I love you Biswa!🙌🏻
I saw both the names and liked instantly
Love this pair
This was so good watched it twice back-to-back. Please do more vids like this!
Its always enriching to listen to Devdutt sir. always!

Two Odias coincidentally.
2 Odiyas together ... Good to see
This conversation was so enlightening for me..
Superb!
Godel's theorem actually states that to prove the consistency of any system that system will itself have to be inconsistent (a paradox) i.e. you can't prove consistency of any system from within itself you'll have to have something out of that system that proves its consistency. Suggesting, in a way, metaphysically of course, that if the universe is a consistent system there must exist some entity outside the universe which proves its consistency.

Ubaid Imtiaz But I believe that's only true for very well defined axiomatic systems. I don't know if we can use that for the universe or reality in general. Metaphysics compromises a lot of rigour so I am unsure of how Godel's incompleteness can be brought into a metaphysical discussion.

Of course it can't be brought or implemented or generalized to something as metaphysical as universe without stating underlying assumptions and axioms but I think that's what Biswa was hinting at in the video.

Interesting to see oriya guys getting popular stages across the spectrum
What I learnt from this video: How to pronounce 'mythology'.
A little gold here.
Lovely. The moment I subscribed there came the last line...😂😂😂😂😂
So that's what an intellectual sounds like. Awesome video 🤘

Interesting interview. Gödels theorem applies to statements of second order logic. There is subset of logic that is self-consistent.
Very nice pairing
I wish Biswa should have also shared his view
0:03 seconds...And there goes my thumb on like button...automatically
Great idea . Really enjoyd it . Keep it going
Love u biswa 😍😘😘
Crushing on Biswa☺️
I want to listen to Biswa on his views about what devdatt sir said...i dont think he agrees on many points! It would be really cool to hear him out!
So, did Devdutt predict right that Game of Thrones would suck in future?
My favourite hero is devdutt ....bcoz I know that moral remains the same story goes on changing...then instead of rattafying stories we should learn from moral ... When will 2nd episode be released ??? And with whome?? I love Biswa even 😍😍
Amazing!
great video
Was this taped a while ago? How did Biswa's hair grow this much???

A good combination I feel.... Interesting conversations. Thank you for doing this.. also, I agree the microphone could've been better. (Y)

It is always difficult to explain a person who is a non believer about something on which the whole belief system started. Stoic devdutt. But nice of biswa to at least respect his views even if he disagrees on them.
He was right about GOT--later seasosn have surpassed the RRM's plot points. They were written more by the creators of the show than RRM (only good parts of the show are the bits it is still following RRM). Also, haha, he is ironically true about RRm NEVER finishing the story!
