Episode notes

There is something dehumanizing about what these kinds of arguments try to doad even, i'm willing to say, even if it's the right view in some sense. I just don't know what that sense would be. We like to take a moment to thank all our listeners who get in touch with us over email, on facebook, on our sub read it very bad wizard, sub red it on instagram,. all the different ways. A, we love it. B, we appreciate it. Wellcome back to very bad wizards at this time.

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.
