Becoming Better Humans in the Age of AI
In this episode of Better Politics, we sit down with Shoukei Matsumoto — a Pure Land Buddhist monk, philosopher, entrepreneur, and author of A Monk’s Guide to a Clean House and Mind — for a rare conversation recorded live in Berlin. From Doraemon to DeepSea prompts, to Buddhist interbeing to AI as a mirror for our humanness, Shoukei guides us through what it means to lead, live, and make sense of a world where biological and non-biological intelligence now coexist. This is a conversation about humility, ego, ancestors, trust, and the future of human leadership in the age of AI — and why becoming “more human” might be the real path forward.Enjoy the episode!Follow us on LinkedIn (Better Politics Foundation), Instagram (@betterpoliticsfoundation) and our site.

Trailer - Better Politics Podcast
Welcome to Better Politics — the podcast for anyone who refuses to accept politics as it is.Politics today feels broken. Trust is collapsing. The gap between people and power is widening. We’re tackling 21st-century crises with 18th-century politics, 19th-century institutions, and 20th-century tech. No wonder people are losing faith.Better Politics is here to change that. Non-partisan by design, global in reach.We bring you voices from around the world — leaders, reformers, thinkers, and everyday people. And yes, we ask the political leaders themselves how to make politics better. Too often we throw arrows at them without engaging them in reshaping the system so they can serve more effectively.Because politics should do more than cling to the past. It should spark hope, earn trust, and deliver for people and planet.This is Better Politics.Follow us on LinkedIn (Better Politics Foundation), Instagram (@betterpoliticsfoundation) and our site.
