Welcome bro
Thanks for such an educational
Podcast! Learnt a lot from you today - would definitely read the book you recommended!
Thanks. Muzammil bhai can you plz explain, one person i met at the black hole said 'Muzammil on one hand says that he prefers freedom over egality, thats why he doesn't like China bcz they are authoritarian, but on the other hand he also says that only a Kemalist type government can fix things; isn't that a contradiction?'
This man Syed Muzammil Shah is very honest in his analysis of Pakistan's internal problems. Such people are are prone to violent backlash from establishment. I pray that he remains safe.
@@ThePakistanExperience Ameen 🤲🤲🤲🤲
He's only applying logics to Imran Khan and find all issues he ever read, drawing analogies But on the same time he's dead silent whether it's Zardari, Ganja League or Corrupt Generals of army. & it makes him anti IK, biased, very subjective.
@@ThePakistanExperience a,
Very few people can speak so clearly.
@@abccde6778 u need to listen carefully.
That nihilism question was mine, thankyou for discussing that! My 17 year old self is satisfied!
Muzammil is one of the best thinking mind in Pakistan 🇵🇰. Good to see him in Ur show.👍🏼 His eloquence and clearity without beating round the bush is like a straight forward arrow approaching the target 🎯
Taoism aur Confucianism padha hai - Buddhism and Samkhya ko nahin - ajeeb chutiye hote hain pakistani. Confucianism ko compare akr raha hai indic philosophies se while buddhism is accused of being individualistic.
Roger that🌹
Biggest Fan of the biggest Intellectual to ever Born in Pakistan since independence. Love and regards from Gilgit Sir... 😍😍😍
Now after reading Nietzsche, I understand him more than ever. Syed Muzammil is a gem of a person❤
which book you read
It's worthwhile and pleasing to see and hear the discourse you are having with this sensible, sane voice of reason, integrity, honesty and clarity of Syed Muzammil Shah. Sach bolne ke liye kirdaar ki zaroorat chahiye jo Syed Muzammil Bhai me saaf nazar aata hai.❤
Yes! My favorite personalities here once again!
Muzammil is the only journalist/political analyst to come out of this nation who focuses on finding the truth rather than pushing agendas for their own personal benefit or is party backed.
He is a gem and inspires people to do research on their claims and back it up by evidence which is one of the biggest problems the modern world faces today.
He indulges you to think critically and observe everything with skepticism.
Hi this is Anand from India..I have listened a few of your UA-cam podcasts very recently..but really those have been really eye-opener guys..kudos to both of u..lots & lots of love to u guys❤❤ keep up the good work man👏👏👏
We were eagerly looking forward to it! Thanks for inviting Syed Muzammil to the show.
Such a mess Pakistan has got itself into 😔 but always a pleasure listening to Muzammil 👍
I listen SM shah for 2 hrs or more.. just like OSHO . I cannot even bear an ads break.. the way he puts his thoughts..its hypnotic kind. He has studied a lot. Love from India ❤️
Shehzad's witty jokes in between a serious conversation are so refreshing!!
As an Indian living in US, I find it quite refreshing to hear sensible and sane podcast such as the ones by Shehzad Shaikh and his eclectic selection of guests.
I am grateful for the educative value of such content which these days has replaced my previous favorite show err nighttime sleep aid - the mind numbing entertainment by Lal Topi aka Zaid Hamid.
This man is so vocal and sensible. And talks clear. Understantable and convincing.
Such a brave man , Syed Muzammil. MashaAllah. May he be safe, always.
Just have a feeling that this guy's Syed is gona go a long way!! Sincere person!!
One of the best. I'm always impressed by Muzammil's brutal honesty and he doesn't mince his words.
One of THE BEST PART of this vlog
That million dollar smile on Muzamil 🥰🥰🥰
Visited this channel after a long time . I am so glad and proud to see that there are now more followers than there were previously . Atleast shows sensible minds are being understood and are coming forward!
If only few more people like Muzammil are born in the province of Punjab, prosperity of the people of land is just around the corner. Sir Muzammil has really inspired me to read more books and it is very inspiring to listen to him. Love from Sindh
What a treat of a podcast!! And yay! my question got asked 😀 and answered very well. Thanks Shehzad and Muzammil!
Always a treat listening to Muzammil! He is the voice of sanity that should prevail!
Great work from both of you. I have recently subscribed to Muzammil's UA-cam channel and almost listened to his majority of videos where he depicts great knowledge. In this society where establishment have imposed its fear to public, such individuals are a great asset to educate people and help them to think rationally. Say NO to dictatorship mindsets and institutions!!
Just love this man ! Hes too good 👍thanks for inviting him shahzad
One of the finest podcast series on the internet easily. Keep up the good work guys!!!
I am very happy for very rare voices like Syed Muzammil. I am his big fan since his program in The Black Hole Islamabad about philosophy, Political Science, Fascism, Critical Thinking regrading situation and affairs in Pakistan...
Jazakallah
May both of you stay Blessed.
One of the greatest interviews of this channel!
These podcast should be a part of Pakistan studies syllabus rather than actual syllabus.
Amazing guest and amazing host! more power to both of you!
Loving the conversation. Buhat kuch seekhne ko milta hai when two great minds talk
Brilliant podcast. This should be a must listen fot anyone growing up in Pakistan. More power to you both!
Genius approach to each matter by MUZAMMIL.
One of the most awaited podcast . Thanks TPS for bringing this gem on your podcast keep it up.
This is what a podcast is, nowadays people have made podcasts so lame that any naive come and put their opinions... But syed Muzammil, it was something i really liked in your podcast and especially the method of implementing comparative politics in the contemporary era.....u earned a sub!
Can we pls make this guy our next pm.? I never even knew about him before this video. Shah g and others like him need to b protected at all costs.
He has his UA-cam channel...
I'm a fan of Syed Muzamil Shah, the more I listen to him the more I agree with him
Man I'm addicted to your show.
Love and respect you both from core of my heart.....
Great podcast and Muzammil is a show stopper as always. The viewers’ profiles tells you that the history of the sub continent is a bigger unifier of minds than any political theories or agendas- whether in the current political scenario or in the pre independence period.
Go to Acharya Prashant for Vedantic philosophy of India , His Hindi channel is Amazing .
Syed muzzamil Shah seems to be in love with Western philosophers jo ki theek hai , but Indian Vedantic(Upanishads) literature deals with the deeper layers of Human consciousness.
Sunoge/padhoge to jaanoge
Thanks for this. You people are the GREATEST
What an amazing amazing podcast! Pls share a list of all the books Muzammil shared in the description. Noted them to read. But would love it if more people do!
Wow.. such intellectual discussions and open podcasts in your country is rarely to see.. nice one..
Take care Shehzad and Muzammil, stay safe and keep spreading the positivity.
Clearly, as listeners we have so much to gain from valuable discussion like these. I am working on myself tbh to gain more knowledge and put myself through the rigorous process of unlearn and reeducation based on unbiased and factual information. Once again, very challenging feat to distinguish right from wrong and factual from biased narratives. Thanks you, it was a treat regardless if I agree with everything said. 😇
اچھے سوال اور اچھے جواب، مدلل گفتگو، گو ہمارے ذہن میں بھی کم و بیش یہی خیالات تھے، لیکن ان کو ان الفاظ میں اتنے اچھے طریقے سے پیش کرنے کا شکریہ ۔۔۔
It's nice to hear the guest more rather than the usual argument with them.
Good podcast!
Syed Muzammil great honest journalist you have in Pakistan May god bless him with good health and long life we need such wonderful people lots of regards to him
i always learn something new form SM , GREAT ONE, everyone SHOULD WAYCH THIS
AOA Shehzad, I belong to Jhelum. I do not comment but I am your regular viewer. Wonderful work you have been doing. Please keep doing this. Not just the remote areas, this platform is also enabling us to learn so much valuable. It is a treat to listen to Syed Muzammil's views. Best wishes to you both.
In the end, I have a request. Please invite Shahzeb Khanzaada and Umer Cheema to your Podcast. Many Thanks!
Specially for Muzamil
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”
happiest moments on earth when you listen like minded people, thank you

My excitement for this podcast crosses inappropriate. No man should want it this bad! YAAAAAAAAS
This talk is beyond praise.
I was expecting a podcast recorded in studio
They are always better in term of quality
Thanks for adding a few more great books to my to be read list.
True analysis 👌 👏 👍
I love syed muzammil bhai,,he is smart by both mind and face,,,
Love to see such calm intellectual discussion
@@ThePakistanExperience I'm from nepal 🇳🇵
The best interview hands down Muzzamil sb
Amazing interview where both talked pragmatically. Honestly learned a lot about Imran khan. Thanks!
🙌
Ap dono ki discussion sun k buhat maza ata hai....
Just finished the podcast
Had a great time listening to Muzammil and you
My only question is when are you having Muzammil again as a guest on podcast?
Shehzad ek favour kero... jo bhi books aapke guests recommend kiya karien; unkay naam aap description main daal diya kero. Thanks. Wonderful episode btw!
Can someone help me with the names of all of the books Muzamil has recommended in this podcast? I only remember The Crowd and Brave New World
a talk that taught me a lot...
Muzammil is one of the few people in Pakistan whom I aspire to become.
Thanks shehzad bhai ❤️
Love from india.
Well done Muzamil and Shehzad. Keep it up
Eagerly waiting for Muzammil Sir. Can't take eyes off from him..I Always wonder he's from that region that represents extraordinary bankruptcy of ideas since its inception.
1:23:00 Individualism ki philosophy tab tak survive karti hai jab tak whole society prosperity ke peak tak nahi pahunch jaati. Europe me bahut countries is level pe pahunch gayi hain. To wo ab society harmony ke philosophy pe shift kar rahe hain. Wokeism ka base bhi to yahi hai. Usme individual thoughts ko zayaada respect nahi hai.
the conscious personality of the individual in a crowd is submerged and that the collective crowd mind dominates; crowd behaviour is unanimous, emotional, and intellectually weak
Gustave🔥
Will sure look into this book
The Crowd⚡
Another masterpiece 🤩
ہر دفعہ کی طرح۔ بہترین شو
Arshad Sharif's murder scared me. 'The Press Conference' made the fear go away, they seemed very weak.
Great one 👌 Muzammil's ideas & points are always interesting & intellectually gratifying to listen to but things get even better when Shehzad's sharp counter questions, calm demeanor, amazing mimicry skills & hilarious jokes get added to the mix as well 😂👌 Thanks for what you do Shehzad, this podcast may not be your passion or dream but it's definitely a wonderful delight for viewers like me, hope you continue it as long as you're enjoying it yourself. Take care 🍁☘️💕
Great to see Muzammil here
Hats off to u guys
I hope people have good head on their bodies. You guys are few of them. May we all have a good life which is already short.
How can you be rationalist and muslim at the same time?
Wow. How I missed this episode man
I know Muzamil earlier, host is amazing.. like his mimicking of Muzamil at 1:54:54
I can listen to Muzzamil for hours.
For the last question
Why we do what we do ?
The answer is simple
Acknowledgement (not famous)
You may not want to achieve fame or validation, but you don't want to waste all what you have to offer either
It might be rejected or even hated by the masses, but you still do it to make some kind of sense of your skill, knowledge, or opinion
That's human nature
Zarathustra (Nietzsche) could have stayed in that isolation, but nooooo. He had to come. He had to address the masses.
It's human nature to share what you have discovered
Be khudi besabab nahi Ghalib
Kuch to hai jis ki parda dari hai
There is no selfless act.
We have an entire 2 hours lectures. Yohoooo!!! ❤
Respect and honour,
Shehzad, beta my personal favorite moment in this video was when you spoke like Muzzamil. Seriously. It was too heart wrenching and serious, and then you did him (and I’ve seen you do it earlier too), and it’s hilarious! But I’m kinda shocked. He was once an India hater!! 😱😱 Eff it. We still love him. And you too.
🍪
Shehzad my friend...what happened to quality of video pixels? Down to 720p again....brilliant content though...appreciated
Thanks
Syed muzamil is a gem
Eye opening
Stay safe
Thanks.
@@ThePakistanExperience
