Slash, philosophize this.
Could never do this without your help.
Thank you.
So just like last episode, I want to begin today all the way back in antiquity, back in the days when it all began.
The days in High Digger thinks so many of these wrong ways of looking at the world and our existence and so many other things.
This is back when the seeds were planted for all those ideas that eventually got us so far off track.
Now let's assume for a second that High Digger's right.
The philosophers have been making massive assumptions from the very beginning that have been clouding our ability to see existence clearly.
Shame on you, Descartes.
But should we really be shaming Descartes?
Should that be our attitude?
Seriously, looking back, can we really be so disappointed with these thinkers and the conclusions that they arrived at?
Quick thought experiment.
Put yourself in the open-toed sandals of somebody living all the way back in antiquity.
What would that be like?
What would it feel like to be a human being back then?
