WEBVTT - Sometimes...I Like To Having My Mind Blown!

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I like having my mind blown. It's one more thing.

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm one more thing.

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Reminds me trying to come up with these new lab

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>innovative psychedelic drugs that like have all of the upsides

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:23.439
<v Speaker 2>and none of the downsides of like taking LSD or

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>shrums or whatever. Yeah, we have to talk about that

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>on the show. We should because there is some pretty

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>promising research about you know, PTSD and other things. But

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 2>back to you.

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>So brought up the hot Girl Walk, which I don't

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>remember if we talked about that while you were on

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>vacation or not. It's like one of the hot QT

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>terms of the summer.

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 2>The hot Now. I've seen you do the angry model walk,

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>but this is different.

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Our girl walks actually much different than you would expect

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>it to be. It's got more to do with attitudes.

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So you go out and you walk for four miles

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>at night, real fast, which gives you exercise and gets

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>you in better shape. And it's all about what you

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>think about. You're supposed to spend a lot of time

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>thinking positive thoughts and about how hot you are. That's

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>why it's called the hot girl Walk. To build self

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>confidence and that self image and all this different sort

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of stuff going to become a thing that way, which

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is much more palatable than a lot of your stupid

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>cute sea phrases that catch on about various things going

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.559
<v Speaker 1>out and taking a walk every night and thinking positive thoughts.

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing ridiculous about that at all. The name is

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>a little Gibie Hot Girl Walk and sid of my

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>daughter who I adore, and she was telling me about

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>we had girl dinner the other night. She said, do

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you know that term girl dinner? I said, number one?

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Why does everything need a name? What is it? And?

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>As I recall, it's just whatever you got, It's all

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>carbs or whatever. You get together. You each bring something

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.559
<v Speaker 2>and you eat crap and spend time together dinner table.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 2>If asked, why is that need a name?

0:01:55.160 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>That's but anyway, the reason Hot Girl Walk was the

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>news today is there's a new There was a review

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in the New York posted this new weighted vest, which

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I guess has gotten really really hot, these weighted vests.

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>So you add that to your hot Girl walk for

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>your exercise? Have you ever done that before? Because I

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>walk every single day, rarely miss a day, how much

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>would adding a weighted vest do for me? And then

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>how much weight do you add on to it?

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, you can get it good.

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>You can get it in six, eight, twelve, twenty, twenty

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>five and thirty pounds. That's a pretty big difference between

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>six pounds and thirty pounds.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I have a very good friend who for a long

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 2>time walked and walked and walk walked for many miles,

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and he used a weighted vest. I'll have to ask

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>him if you thought it didn't many good. I'm sure

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>it does, but I don't know. I'll look into it.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll try it some very expensive it's like twenty eight bucks.

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>So back, I wish the hot.

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Girl walk was called worthy human being walk.

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I see what you mean.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, Yeah, that's a woman is not a collection

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 2>of body parts? All right, Well she is, but that's

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>exactly that was my point.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>So I got my mind boggled last night starting with

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm re listening to book by Charles Murray. We're big

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Charles Murray fans around here. One of the most famous

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>social scientists in modern history wrote the Bell Curve, among

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>other things. But he put a book out last year

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that I already listened to a once, called Taking Religion Seriously.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>He was a guy who was an atheist in his

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>entire life. He credits that not to any conviction. He

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>just went to Harvard as a really smart guy, and

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody was atheists, and he decided at a young age, oh,

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what smart people do. They believe in atheism. And

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>then he and his sixties or seventies, his wife became

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>quite a devout Christian, so not just a feist like

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>in believing in God, but actual believing in Jesus Christ,

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. And he wanted what his wife had, and

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>he just spent more time looking into it and reading

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 1>about it, and he has come around to where he

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>is now a church going Christian, believes a lot. And

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>his book is called Taking Religion Seriously, and it's really interesting.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>It's only like four hours long to listen to it,

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you have any interest in that sort of thing,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 1>I highly recommend it. Lots of great reading lists in

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 1>there for things you might be interested in. But one

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of the things he was getting into the design of

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the universe and it's complexity, yet it's beauty and how

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to him that proves some sort of idea behind it.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>There's all kinds of things that needed to happen for

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>life to form. And if you were just like a

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>degree or you know, two miles an hour or all

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>these different things for just slightly different there'd be no

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>chance for life whatsoever as we know it. And so

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that's part of his arguing for why there is some

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of grand design. That's not what I meant to

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 1>get off on. It was at one point when he

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>got into the whole Big Bang theory, which I think

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>we all know now, but it's relatively new. It hasn't

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>become it's only been like the consensus since the nineties.

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>It was first thought of in the early twentieth century,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of caught on in the sixties and seventies, but

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it's only been since the nineties that that has been

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the considered opinion of most people that just, okay, we

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>all agree upon this the Big Bang, that all of time,

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>energy and matter was in a beyond microscopically small something.

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>But the thing that boggled my mind was, and he

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>was talking about how when we picked the Big Bang,

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>most of us we picture, you know, a molecule or

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a dot or whatever exploding in space, but that's not

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>what happened. There was no space. It created this, the

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Big Bank created space. There was nothing before. This is

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>where you lose me. This is where your brain started.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>That's when my mind gets boggled. And like I was

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>listening to that as I did my hot girl walk

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.280
<v Speaker 1>last night, uh, walking and listening to this book and

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 1>when he did that about how the misconception that the

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Big Bang occurred in space. No, the Big Bang created space.

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>There was nothing before the Big Bang. For some reason,

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I like, I think I actually stopped in the street

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>for a second. I was like, wait a second, I

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>had like a dog. You caught your head r wild.

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>How your brain can can that can happen to you? Yes,

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to where you just get like, I can't compute this.

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I need my full capacity for this question. Yeah, and

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you just stop.

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it's yeah, I've tried to conceive of this stuff.

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the ability. Just when I get into

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the theoretical and the mind blowing astro physics quantum quark

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>string theory stuff, I.

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Just I can't, right, So I uh, I started asking

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Grox some questions because I got into a couple of

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>things around this topic because I just found it really interesting.

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>So as they know when it happened, it was thirteen

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>point eight billion years ago, that for some reason, God

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. I mean, it's hard to come up with

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a reason for this. Uh, that everything that exists was

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in some microscopically small something and burst into nothingness in creat.

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>You don't mean reason like there's a reason for everything. No,

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>you mean a process by which or a catalyst that.

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, nobody has any idea. By the way, so

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I have a theory, But go on, what's your theory?

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I call it the big Boyang theory. Actually, the universe

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>is like a lot of things in the universe. It

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 2>it actually expands, then contracts all into one and big

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>bang again. And then it expands and then for some

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 2>reason it contracts. I'm still studying why it would expand

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and contract. Please don't ask me what was the beginning,

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>how it started? Please don't ask me that.

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>At no point are you going to say it's turtles

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>all the way down, as the old saying goes.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>That was working my way there.

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I found this interesting. Somebody brought this up

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 1>the other day, and I remember how I came across this.

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>First of all, it's just mind blowing to me. There

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>are more stars in the universe than there are grains

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:04.239
<v Speaker 1>of sand on I've always liked that as something to imagine.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Look at any beach, think about how many grains of

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>sands are all the beaches, all the places in the world.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>In fact, there are actually hundreds of thousands of times

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 1>more stars than there are all the grains of sand

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on Earth. No comprende, and almost all stars have at

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>least one planet. Most have more than one planet. So

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>there are many, many, many multiples more planets in the universe.

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Then there are stars. Wow, And then you get to

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the are we the only one with life? I mean,

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that's just incomprehensible, but so so. I randomly came across

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>this the other day. Apparently some physicists ask this question,

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>presented it in one of your famous lectures forever ago.

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Why it aren't we just surrounded by incredible brightness that

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we can't stand. We got the sun shining on us,

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and with space being empty, the sun is incredibly bright.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Why aren't all the stars that exist, with all that

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>many stars, all of the light traveling through space at

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the speed of light, and just instead of the night

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>sky being dark, it's just so blinding and bright. We

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 1>can't even stand it. It was a question that people

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>had for a long time until the discovery that the

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 1>universe is expanding. Another concept that is really hard to understand.

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>But the universe is expanding. The planets are moving away

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 1>from each other faster than the speed of light. That's

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>why we're getting farther away from them faster than light travels.

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>If that weren't true, the night sky would be so

0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>bright you couldn't look at it, or it'd be so

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>lot we'd all die.

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've got questions, but just go ahead.

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I will attempt to answer them if I have any

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 1>idea what I'm talking about.

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I have enjoyed on several occasions in my life, although

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>not nearly enough, being on a beach way out in

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the middle of nowhere, or a mountaintop or whatever, where

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>you can see thousands of stars and it's just dark

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>enough breath taking, and I literally can see the light

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 2>from those stars. But that's not enough light to be

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.280
<v Speaker 2>the blindingly bright thing you're describing now.

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.079
<v Speaker 1>It's not all the light that we would get. If

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the universe were a single size and not expanding, then

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>all that light would reach us from all of those stars,

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's full of intensity as opposed to the way it's

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>expanding away. So that's another luck of the universe, because

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>if it were so blindingly bright that we couldn't see

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>all the time, that wouldn't be I mean, how did

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>you get to work?

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I don't know enough about light because the distance

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 2>of light matters here on Earth, but I would assume

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 2>that would be because it's going through dust and atmosphere

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:15.719
<v Speaker 2>and the rest of it.

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 1>Right. I didn't fully understand that myself, but I'm going

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to take it on the advice of the experts who

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>say it was true. It's true that if the universes

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>would not expanding faster than the speed of light, Yeah,

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>then we would be all blinded.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Our eyes would probably evolve in some way or another,

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I would think.

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 1>But how about the fact that the universe is expanding

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that fast, or we're getting further away from stuff that fast?

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:42.439
<v Speaker 1>It's like stretching.

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm totally comfortable with the idea that the universe is

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>expanding until somebody says expanding into one.

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, right, that's I was asking a chat gb the

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>extra the suburbs. Well, like, where's the edge? So where

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>at the edge of the universe what's on the other

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>side that wall. But Grock told me I was looking

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>at completely wrong, and I tried to understand what it

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 1>meant at that point, and I just got lost. Is

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>there any advantage whatsoever to thinking about this stuff every

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>once in a while, like four times a year, quarterly, quarterly.

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I like to like look at this stuff for one

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.319
<v Speaker 1>evening kind of and I get really interested in that.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>It goes away with the kind of what difference does

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.559
<v Speaker 1>it make anyway? My foot hurts and my kids needs dinner.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I am a biological being with a life expectancy of

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven point four years. Yeah, exactly. M Yeah, I

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I'm fascinated by it too, But like I say,

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I never get very far. I just I'm it's like

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 2>somebody who can't carry a tune. I've come to accept

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>that my mind gets blown too quickly.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Funny, you had mentioned that I will circle back and

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in with this. Charles Murray, one of his beliefs is

0:13:51.360 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that the ability to perceive a god like creature, that

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>feeling that a lot of people get connection to God

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. He believes it's like a sense

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>or a talent kind of like because he says he

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.839
<v Speaker 1>has no ability for music whatsoever. None. He can't carry

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.839
<v Speaker 1>a tune. He just has nothing for music. Where's most

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>people do, and some people have it at the level

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of you know, geniuses or whatever. And he just thinks

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>his wife is more tuned in to God, like some

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>people are more tuned into music than he is, and

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>he's just not as tuned in as some people are.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>But that's why some people get great connection and some

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>people get nune and some people in between.

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>That's his theory.

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And of course it's just a theory.

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 2>You've blown my mind again. Cut it out.

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>That book's worth a listen, though, if you have any

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>interest in that sort of thing I do, if you

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>have any interest in overcoming atheism, which, as he said,

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>a fair number of people, some people really really really

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>think about it a lot and come to that concludion.

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>But some people it's just, oh, this is where all

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the cool people are doing, so I'm going to do

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it too, mm hmm without much more thought than that.

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of the time I

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>get to the end of these discussions on questions of

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 2>religion and you know, fairly specific questions the Jews, and

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>it's not the Jews and uh, you know, the universe

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>and all. And I'm fairly comfortable with the notion that

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll never know for sure and I can live with that.

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 1>That makes you, uh agnostic, I guess, ah.

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Does it?

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I think so? Yah?

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 2>I think an agnostic thinks it is unknowable that form

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>you're sinking. Yeah, I'm not saying it's unknowable. I'm just

0:15:54.360 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>saying I don't know. Okay. Yeah, the agnostic is used

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 2>in several different ways, and I don't know the formal.

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Definitily, you need to come up with a name for

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>that position.

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 2>You need.

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Agnostic or something like that is I'm a sure wish

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I knewest I think in our uh maybe I'll end

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>with this as I keep trying to end. Maybe. I

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>think that in our materialist, uh pleasure seeking culture of

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>modern world, I think agnostic gives too much credit to

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>most people's positions. It's just it's a I don't think

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>about it at all. Yeah, I want to buy a

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>cooler this or that or what. Scroll on TikTok.

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I will finish the discussion with this. There are no

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>atheists in foxholes, and no atheists being flipped through the

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>air by bison either to cite a contemporary news story.

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 2>As we record this podcast, I will finish with this.

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 2>If you're at Costco and there's an asterisk on the tag,

0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 2>it means it's the last item they have. They're not

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 2>restocking it.

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Michael there, now that's practical.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Never mind this naval gazing stoned idiot rambling, Michael is grounded.

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Universe is stretching. Who cares? I need to know the

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:14.120
<v Speaker 1>codes at Costco?

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess that's it.
