In the book of job, god is sort of the person who brings good and evil to the world. I get that same sense here when he says, nothing just whatever god made, nothing can be added. It's less a Isn't god wonderful than it is? Look, man, he's the guy who set up the rules. So you might as well just take delight in the frick and big bang.
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.
