Hello and welcome to Cucking with Hobbs.

Just kidding, this is political philosophy with Hobbes.

In the words of Hobbes from Leviathan,

Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war,

where every man is enemy to every man.

The same consequence to the time

where in men live without other security than what their own strength and their own

inventions shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for

industry because the fruit thereof is uncertain and consequently no culture of the earth, no navigation,

nor use for the commodities that may be imported by sea.

No commodious buildings, no instruments of moving or removing such things as require much

force, no knowledge of the face of the earth, no account of time, no arts, no letters,

no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear,

and danger of violent death. And the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

said. We hit 20 episodes last episode, and we made no deal of it. But actually, that's very impressive. We should make a big deal out of it. Obviously, 20 episodes is fantastic. We have reached the big 2-0. Even though I think if you break it down with all the episodes generally, we probably really doubled or probably triple that 50 something like that so I guess it's a

really good opportunity to say thank you for everybody that's listening I mean if
