Hey there, you are watching the partially examined life live streamed.

We're a podcast by some guys who are at one point set on doing philosophy for a living

but then thought better of it.

Our question for episode 300 is something like what is the healthiest attitude we can take

toward history.

And we read Friedrich Nietzsche's on the uses and disadvantage of history for life, published

as the second of his untimely meditations in 1874.

This is Mark Linson-Meier, Inwardly Cultural, Outwardly Barbaric in Madison, Wisconsin.

Hello, this is Seth Paskin greeting the P.E.L. nation across the long dark centuries

of confusion in Austin, Texas.

This is Wes All-One reclining a very leisurely way on the shoulders of giants and Cambridge

Massachusetts.

And this is Dylan Casey striving to forget at the right time as much as to remember at

the right time in Madison, Wisconsin.

Welcome everybody.

Woohoo!

Why have we not done this before?

It was the pandemic.

Everybody was doing this.

I guess we missed our chance, Mark.

Yep.
