Summary

We're releasing JUST THIS ONE Nightcap to the wider public so induce you all to go support us and so gain the ability to hear these free-wheeling, feeling-sharing, email-reading fiestas between every regular episode.

This time we gripe about Habermas and reflect on what secondary sources we use. We consider whether to have an episode on anarchism and if we should ever have guests on who are hard-core adherents of the philosophy we're discussing. We reveal which reading we've covered has pleasantly surprised each of us the most.

Finally, we talk about how to front-load our episodes so that folks who do not sign up to hear the part 2's still get a satisfying, self-contained experience.

0:00.0	Yo yo yo, lifers! Do you like, be called lifers? I don't know.
0:11.6	As you're absorbing the shock of Habermost Part 2 not being publicly available, I have a
0:18.1	bone. Would you like this bone? I'm gonna unlock the PEL Nightcap episode that is being
0:24.6	released to supporters right now. And you people get it for free. In full. So you can see
0:30.5	what kind of fun you're missing. So yes, this is actually not generous. It's an advertisement.
0:36.2	So you have double the reason to go sign up at partiallyexaminelife.com slash support for
0:41.5	a PEL citizenship or Patreon subscription. We have been recording these nightcaps in the
0:46.1	off weeks between episodes. What you're about to hear is the sixth one we have done. And
0:51.2	it's pretty typical. We read some listener emails. We discuss a little philosophy without
0:55.2	having read any text for this in particular. Really anything could happen. It is an evolving
1:00.3	form. The point is it is us four hosts, Wes Seth Dylan and me Mark being your COVID companions
1:08.2	in this relatively safe space of support. So see what you think.
1:12.5	Hey, this is the PEL Nightcap. We are recording on August 28th on the eve of our Habermost
1:20.7	recording, which has gotten delayed how many times at least three, but I think actually
1:26.7	more than that because we kind of had it earlier in the schedule and then put this Vey in
1:30.2	there. And so probably five times. Yeah. It's a marathon. And is this the most fun reading
1:35.7	that we've ever done? It's amazing. Love in it. I commented that it is the most interesting
1:43.5	thing I've read that I've enjoyed the least in my life. Part of that was we switched
1:48.9	with reading we were doing that we had one thing assigned and Seth read most of it. And
1:53.1	it was really difficult. Like I just stopped after page one. And then we shifted to something
1:57.9	easier that the second one was more of a commentary on. And I think the second reading was better.
2:02.5	Like it's really not any more vicious than the average analytic philosophy thing as far
