00:00:00 Dependent origination (paticcasamuppāda): ignorance is the foundation

00:07:52 Sankhāra are old memories of little value

00:08:15 Consciousness (viññāna, sensory input) is a type of sankhāra; understanding of sensory input is perception

00:10:45 Nāmarūpa is perception

00:13:09 Salāyatana: our understanding of perception; the nun’s habit example

00:17:56 AI and creativity; recognition

00:25:22 Contact: ignorance embedded in processed data

00:33:29 Liking, wanting, grasping, clinging: ignorance in this moment; wisdom at the point of contact (MN 117)

00:51:09 Crafting an identity: the personality view

00:56:44 Physical pain, piti, sukha; responding to pain that cannot be alleviated

01:06:36 Goals, desires, cravings; wanting validation; have little goals that you can meet

01:13:06 Handling this moment; time frame: only a day long; enjoy this next breath
