This starts as an interview by Mohammad Socrates, and ends as conversation with Mohammad Socrates.  I met him through Patreon, and that's where you can join the conversation (supporting the channel for $1 per month).  https://www.patreon.com/a_bas_le_ciel  Perhaps —perhaps— I'll eventually add "time-stamps" to allow you to jump to the specific topics discussed within —but, as you can imagine, I don't (currently) have a list to work with.  The discussion of Buddhism (and Buddhist philosophy), as I recall, begins just before the two hour mark.

* [Footnote:] The time-stamps were noted down by Theo, over at "Activist Journeys". https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO54vzfpG-F-ueZvArhgdqA/videos
