Hey everyone, I just started a substack, so if you're interested in reading my writings, then you can do that right now, there's already stuff to read at Alex O'Connor.com.

So I'm a bit sniffly because I've got allergies, so we'll see, maybe I'll mention that to the audience as well so if I start sneezing I

I we'll take it first time no worry. Yeah great okay we're recording on this end I'm

recording down here I'm gonna hit record on the camera, that's all done.

It'll give me a good reason to say God bless you and then you'll have to take it.

I was just thinking that, yeah, it's a a shame really it's a shame exactly yeah no you know

you know I want to ask why that is I can tell you if you want to know why people say

bless you like why why and you know I did I did a few videos on

superstitions I you know I find superstitions really really interesting and

so I think that that's an interesting superst interesting superstition and it's worth thinking about.

Well tell me about it what's the what's the I mean I mean I thought I thought people said bless

you because it like the flu or something?

No, it had to do with the fact that you accidentally,

you accidentally lose air.

You lose spirit.

That's what it is, like just on the face of it. It's like it's it's superstition about the the the analytical relationship between soul spirit and breath, right? That's there in Genesis one already and so when someone sneezes then you say bless you like you have to feel that

gap up with spirit.

You just to reload, reload the spirit.

Yeah.

And it sounds, I mean obviously at the, at the outset,

when you see it, you're like, well, that's just ridiculous, right?

That's nonsense.
