Could never do this without you.
So today's episode is on a group of thinkers known as the logical positivists.
Now, sometimes when I'm in the very beginning stages of creating one of these podcasts,
something I like to do is reach out to some of the people I respect and just randomly ask them what their general thoughts are on the subject matter of the episode.
The goal being that I don't want to waste your time as a listener under or over explaining things,
and these people help me gauge how much time to spend on stuff.
Well, I asked one such person a few months ago about their thoughts on logical positivism.
And I mean, just for context, this is not somebody that isn't well read or is not into philosophy or something.
But when I asked him for his general take on the logical positivists,
he said that his understanding of them was that at one point in time,
exactly when there was a group of people who were extremely logical,
they were so logical, they even had meetings talking about how logical they were.
And they sat around and they talked and they played and they got a logic with each other.
And after discussing things long enough, the natural conclusion that they all arrived at,
the only logical conclusion anyone could ever arrive at was to be positive about stuff.
