the Gita’s universal question - “what is the right thing to do?” / 3 stages of the Gita’s popularity / it’s not just action that entangles - it’s motive / wisdom lying between the polarities, and on multiple levels / moral dilemma vs ethical dilemma / Krishna gives a philosophical world view with a moral framework for ethical dilemmas / the Gita’s battlefield setting -  violence is absent in terms of content, context and consequence  / reading into a book / gaslighting & knowledge in the mode of ignorance / uncertainty as a symptom of humility
