Man, I got it wrong that time.

Eh.

That's okay.

Who's to say?

Who is to say? I suppose those who have done an inductive study of the way in which I open all of the episodes of God Splending from about three years ago up until the present date will know on the basis of said inductive study that there are patterns emerging and those patterns would seem to suggest a script. Yes.

And that I have diverted from the script in at least one word. Yes, but they don't know if there is a script. They don't know if there's a, there is a script or if there's like a natural law precept which pertains to the following of scripts as concerns the introducing of podcasts. It's definitely not a natural law precept of that. You sure? Yeah, positive law probably. or like self-given law.

Yeah, but insofar as the positive law is rooted in the natural law, I mean, like, this could be somewhere in the tertiary quaternary type. Probably eternal law. Okay, yeah, exactly. We're pretty sure about that. Well, God follows scripts insofar as he himself is the script and he follows his nature. He is the director. That's it. He is the director. And the producer? And? And the actor? Yes. And the audience. Wait. Nice. At least he is. And the popcorn dealer. Can one speak of before creation? Things are getting out of control. But it's better that they get out of control because we're things to always be in control that would take a lot of the spice-slash-variety out of life. Do you think Kant would say that, or would he disagree? Is he there for spice and variety? He's not there for spice and variety that much. Yeah, he's a pretty regular kind of guy. He's there for regularity? He's there for regular.

The taking of naps in Konexburg?

The taking of naps with Joseph Green in Kornigsberg.

Yeah, exactly.

The long lunches too.

What do you think Kant would think about the fact that his hometown now lies within the

bounds of Russia?

Well, it was occupied by Russia at a certain point during the wars. And so he taught Russian soldiers. Really? So he knew, yeah. So he knew Russians. He taught the soldiers and such. So this would be part for the course, I suppose. Yeah. I feel like St. Thomas Aquinas would be more comfortable with the fluidity of things on account of the fact that he observes that nature obtains always, or for the most part. Yeah, it's probably right. He was also Southern Italian. So it's kind of like...

Goes with the flow. That's probably right. Kingdom of the two Sicily's type, Geneseecois. That's French book. Yeah, he's probably not as anxious about getting stuff ordered, you know, even though the wise man is the one who orders things correctly. Yeah. It's like, those God's ordering things, we're good to go.

That's true for Kant, too, but Khan wants to do a little more.
