22 分钟Hey, thanks so much for listening to the podcast.
Cool that you're enjoying it so far.
Full transcripts of every episode at philosophisethis.org.
And to support a show like this, go to patreon.com slash philosophisethis.
Could never do this without your help.
Thank you.
So just like most episodes of the show, I want to start today by thinking about something.
But quick disclaimer for any of you out there that might hear the beginning of this line of thinking and think that I'm wasting your time purposefully or that there's no possible way this could ever be related to the episode.
Trust me.
By the middle of the episode, you'll understand why I did it this way.
So the question I want to ask you is this.
Have you ever been sitting in your room by yourself, talking to yourself,
and just said the word cookie to yourself 25 times in a row?
Like cookie, cookie, cookie.
For that matter, have you ever said any word to yourself 25 times in a row?
Really, the question underneath this question is,
have you ever said a word and paid close attention to it and analyzed it and had the thought,
man, that's a really strange sounding word.
Why does the word sound that way?
Why do we even call them cookies to begin with?
