"I like to think that i did. You know, tha, i don't have to be touched by evil in order to see that there is no justice," he says. "It's a huge missed opportunity if you don't take advantage of whatever pleasures you're lucky enough to be granted by the world"

David and Tamler dive into the book of Ecclesiastes, an absurdist classic that is somehow also a book of the Bible. Is everything meaningless, vain, and a chasing after the wind? Are humans just the same as animals? Are wise people no better off than fools? Will God judge us after we die, rewarding the good people and punishing the shit-heels? What if there is no afterlife and this is all we get? How should we deal with our pointless, unjust existence? Plus we return to our opening-segment bible— Aeon—and talk about an argument for replacing jealousy with...wait for it…compersion.
