Good information to have

Similarly to Buddhism and Hinduism, Sikhism teaches that death is a natural step in the cycle of life. Sikhism calls this loop saṃsāra, which is the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Therefore, death is not seen as an end, but as a transition period into a different life.

Like Buddhists, Sikhs believe that every being has lived thousands of different lives in different bodies and realms and is reborn again and again. The kind of life someone will be reborn into is determined by the karmic merit accrued in one’s previous life.

Sikhs aspire to break the cycle of saṃsāra so that the soul will become free and the will be reunited with Waheguru, the divine. Before a soul can be liberated from the cycle, they may live in over 8.4 million forms, giving them many opportunities to practice becoming free.

Sikhs believe in living a life that will ultimately lead to being free from saṃsāra,
and abide by certain values to do so. They practice non-attachment, humility and
kindness for others, and avoiding the Five Thieves which are: desire, anger, greed,
attachment, and ego.

While Sikhs do not view death as a tragedy, funerals are very important events
as they allow for the person who has died to be honored while providing opportunities for the family to grieve. Death care for Sikhs are centered around values of acceptance, humility, and devotion to God. They prioritize creating an environment of simplicity, equality, and dignity around death practices.

Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. So why are we seeing active outbreaks in the headlines again?

The virus didn't change—our protection did. Vaccines became so successful that many of us grew up never seeing the serious diseases they prevent. But when vaccination coverage drops, even in small community pockets, it creates opportunities for preventable illnesses to spread.

In this week’s episode we look at why staying up to date on your immunizations is about much more than avoiding a bug—it’s about preserving your everyday freedom to travel, stay active, and live without interruption.

In S7E28, we explore:
- The Iron Lung Legacy: Remembering Martha Lillard, the last U.S. polio survivor dependent on an iron lung, who passed away in 2026.
- The Contagion Equation: Why measles requires a 95% community coverage rate to prevent localized outbreaks.
- Protecting Your Independence: How staying current on adult vaccines keeps your world open and prevents hospitalizations, missed work, and disrupted travel.
- Navigating Differences: How to approach conversations with friends and family about immunization choices with compassion and practical safety steps.

Danger, Will Robinson!" sounded like science fiction in 1965. Today, the questions behind that warning are becoming surprisingly relevant.

Artificial intelligence can persuade us, imitate people we know, generate false information, and increasingly take actions on our behalf. But there is another risk that receives less attention: What happens when we begin trusting AI to make decisions that should depend on human values?

In this episode of Everyone Dies, we look at what researchers are learning about AI safety and what Lost in Space got surprisingly right about intelligent machines. We also ask what happens when AI enters health care and begins predicting treatment outcomes, hospitalization, prognosis, and survival.

A computer may help tell us what can be done. Should it ever decide what should be done?
