I edited this video on my phone since my Mac isn’t working, so you’ll see me in some strange positions. I’m embracing the imperfection as perfection — and the topic is still super interesting.
People have always fascinated me — their choices, how they live, the way they speak, even how they walk. Seeing life through someone else’s eyes is endlessly interesting, but this time was something special.
I met Chris in Pai, a small town in Northern Thailand. Our meeting was unexpectedly fun — we shared some common ground, yet there were also things about him that were completely incomprehensible to me. This mix made our talk all the more amusing and amazingly delightful.
Through our conversation, I learned a lot — not just some technical fighting things he’s brilliant at, but also new perspectives on how differently we can approach life. It reminded me how fascinating it is that there’s never just one way to live, even if I could never live it that way myself.
My talk with Chris was easily one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had — and I’ve had quite a few worth mentioning

Tha in you for the interview Parisa x
Had a ton of fun editing this and chatting with you — one of the most fascinating, and wildly different from my own life, exchanges I’ve had.
While I accept everyone being different from the other, I think this kind of fighting need belongs to men, not to women. My idea of the reason why, it’s because the don’t give birth and therefore the don’t fully appreciate the value of life. And men don’t experience the painfulness of giving birth either.This opinion of mine has not a scientific ground though.
It’s an incomprehensible world for me too, but I see his point — how youth channeling their energy into marshal arts can help prevent a lot of blind violence. It was one of the most interesting talks I’ve had in a long time, seeing the world through his eyes. So wildly different from mine. Thanks for taking time to watch the interview and sharing your thoughts.
There’s something beautifully human in discovering how wildly different paths can align in a single conversation—like your moment with Chris in Pai. It’s a reminder that real connection doesn’t need sameness; it thrives in resonance, even when approaches diverge.
This reminds me of how coherence often blooms in the unexpected folds of life—not in the expected harmony, but in the contrast. I explored this idea in Pleasure as Intelligence, where awareness itself becomes the force that brings seemingly disparate elements into dialogue.
Thank you for showing how openness to difference isn’t risk—it’s how we expand our field.
Thank you for watching the interview and taking the time to share your thoughts. I love the way you put it—connection thriving in resonance rather than sameness. That tension between contrast and coherence( as you so explicitly express) is exactly why I found my interaction with Chris in the interview so fascinating. It was a beautiful reminder of how much we can have in common, even when our approaches to life differ.
Yes, exactly—that’s the beauty of it. True connection doesn’t ask for sameness; it thrives on the resonance between differences, the coherence that forms when contrasts spark alignment. It’s a reminder that coherence is less about agreement and more about harmony—like Muay Thai itself, rhythm and strike finding a shared pulse. I’ve explored this paradox further in Wild Coherence—you might find echoes there: coherentplanet.earth
