Is it true?

AskTruthMorality

First things first. Or rather two things, darling. Get the facts right, and keep love in sight. This is where we ask questions that matter, fact-check the universe, call out the paradoxes, and establish universal consensus on what empirical truth, peace, and happiness actually mean, and why.

Reach for KNOW when you need ground that holds. Clarity does wonder for harmony. And once we've found our truth, GROW helps us do something with it.

↳ From “Some Truths Are Harder to Swallow” · KNOWsutra

No featured KNOWsutra video marked in the catalog yet.

Everybody Knows ✔ Vol. 03 - EPx7 ✔ KNOWsutra Gipsy Trip Hop Truth Prayer Dream

Seven tracks of humble pep talk and agnostic prayer. The KNOWsutra spine in one EP: the things we already know but pretend not to, named out loud so we can stop pretending. Leonard Cohen wrote the original "Everybody Knows" in 1988 and it hasn't aged a day; this is the conversation with him. Read his poem alongside this EP, as Banana puts it, and we win twice.

Songs in the name of history, for the lovers, and everyone who refuses to unsee patterns of deceit and abuse. Peace is not a default. It's a practice.

Ask: (Naked) TRUTH

The truth is agnostic. Honesty is brave, selfless. And it doesn't care if you're embarrassed. Songs asking the questions most would rather forget in the name of personal comfort, and power games.

SUTRA · KNOW

Ask: BERTRAND (knows)

Bertrand Russell walks into a bar, orders a paradox, and starts a philosophical fight club. Songs for the ethically curious.

Ask: But(t) WHY

One question. Socrates asked it, they killed him for it. We're still asking anyway.
