0:00.0 | On this episode of the Symbolic World Podcast, I'm playing for you a video which is called Cannibal Babies and the Resurrection. |
0:07.3 | It's a video that it's kind of funny because I put out the video and then I noticed that it wasn't getting as many views as other videos. |
0:17.5 | And then, you know, strangely, I guess it should have, but it dawned on me afterwards that |
0:21.9 | the title could be misleading or strange and some people might hesitate to click on it. And I think |
0:27.6 | the thumbnail that I put was an actual image of a cannibal on it. And so, and so I actually |
0:33.3 | talked to some people and a priest told me that he did watch a video but that, you know, |
0:38.2 | he was, he waited until he was at home at evening to watch it because he was a little |

1:12.6 | you know, what does that mean for the resurrection of the body? And so the scholar was making |
1:17.9 | fun of it quite a bit. And hopefully I have given an explanation to the problem of why, at least, |
1:25.5 | this question of cannibal babies is so important and why it's relevant |
1:29.7 | to us today related to questions of self-reference and question of circularity, circularity |
1:35.5 | of arguments, circularity in our culture. |
1:38.2 | So hopefully it can give you a glimpse into something you had never thought about. As you know, everything I'm doing |
