| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, I'm Stephen West. This is Philosophies this. No sponsor this week. Follow me on Twitter at I am Stephen West. Follow the show on Facebook. |
| 0:08.4 | I philosophize this show for Patreon or the Amazon banner. Go to the front page to philosophizethis.org. |
| 0:14.4 | Today is the first episode in a series on Sartre and Camus. I hope you love it. |
| 0:20.0 | And look, I know what you guys are saying. |
| 0:22.3 | Nostprinunciation of Sartre. It's Jean-Paul Sartre. |
| 0:27.3 | Look, I'm not going to spend the next 30 minutes of my life. |
| 0:30.2 | Or the rest of the series for that matter. Saying Jean-Paul Sartre, every time I reference the guy. |
| 0:34.8 | If you guys have a problem with it, be mad at Obama or whoever it was that created this accent that I |

| 1:20.3 | why I did it this way. So the question I want to ask you is this, have you ever been sitting in your |
| 1:25.6 | room by yourself, talking to yourself, and just said the word cookie to yourself 25 times in a row. |
| 1:34.0 | Like cookie, cookie, cookie. For that matter, have you ever said any word to yourself 25 times in a |
| 1:42.3 | row? Really the question underneath this question is have you ever said a word and paid close |
| 1:46.6 | attention to it and analyzed it and had the thought, man, that's a really strange sounding word. |
| 1:51.5 | Why does the word sound that way? Why do we even call them cookies to begin with? |
