Episode notes

i would just put up all those libet studies on free will and like it. The area of the brain that's associated with bing banks is a large, activetd. Not only that, but i have the gean for wanting to engage in a series of armed robberies at credit unions. I don't think yet's like tasaks, you you should taste for it in abort babies if they're going to have it. We'll talk about ecclesiastes later this week.

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.
