Hello and welcome to Overthink.
The podcast where two philosophers bring ideas from the history of philosophy into the present day.
I'm David Peña Guzman.
And I'm Ellie Anderson.
As always, for an extended and ad-free version of this episode,
community discussion and more, subscribe to Overthink on Substack.
Ellie, when you hear the word spontaneity, what do you think of?
I think of my aunt.
who always has the best tricks up her sleeve.
The most fun, random ideas.
This is a person who's kind of hard to pin down, like making a plan with, little challenging,
but oh my gosh, once you're in the same place together, you never know where you're gonna end up.
Like you might start having a delicious lunch somewhere,
then find yourself in a completely different neighborhood,
going to some show that you didn't anticipate.
Maybe it's like a street performance that you just find yourself suddenly in the midst of,
and then ending the night maybe trying a new delicious cuisine you've never tried before.
This is what I think of.
when I think of spontaneity.
So random fun on T.
