0:00.0	Hello again, listeners, this is Kevin and welcome to another episode of Get Fit Guy.
0:10.5	I received a nice email last week from a listener who is a philosophy graduate
0:15.0	and how much enjoyment they took from the episode on Frankfurt and Free Will, which was last week's episode.
0:22.7	But they also noted my use of gender neutral language when referencing an email.
0:28.4	It got me to thinking about this show.
0:31.7	I don't think that in 2024, get fit guy is an appropriate name for the show. I would much rather see a gender neutral title.
0:42.7	Firstly, because I think it's important to be an ally, but secondly, because it's kind of backed
0:48.2	the show into a corner where it can only ever be hosted by a guy. What do you think? Do you think that this is the right name for the show,
0:56.9	or maybe we should look for a gender neutral title? I'd be interested to hear what listeners think.
1:03.5	Please email me and let me know if you agree. Not sure what the show should be called,
1:09.2	but I definitely think gender neutral is the way to go. Okay, onto this week's show, which I'm not sure what the show should be called, but I definitely think gender neutral is the way to go.
1:12.6	Okay, onto this week's show, which unsurprisingly is philosophical.
1:17.6	I read back last week's notes, and I think perhaps it might have been too much into what the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein called a language game. That being that if you aren't in the
1:29.6	same language game as I am, perhaps it's hard to play along. Philosophy has a lot of words that
1:35.9	shares with other subject matter areas and with general language, but mean very specific and
1:41.4	different things. So I'll do my best to try and steer away from language
1:45.2	games. Anyway, this past couple of weeks, I've been thinking about the meaning of things and the meaning
1:53.1	in things. Sometimes people are just so keen to identify things such as relationships and put them into a box. I think it's because as
2:05.0	humans, we all love things to be clearly defined. But I would argue that these definitions rob us
2:12.7	of the beauty that we can find in the things themselves. It's very unlikely that anything in life fits very
2:20.0	clearly into the defined borders of a box we want to put them in, and that they don't overlap
2:25.4	with other things or have leakage into other areas. Take friendship, for example. Sometimes we can
