What up?

Hey.

That was probably the most depressing this conversation I've ever had.

Welcome to the show, everybody.

Yeah.

Do you want to get depressed?

Listen to Christian talk.

We just been sitting down here in the studio for the last hour, just like...

Shooting the shit just talking

yeah i'll tell you what i was i'll tell you what i was saying i'll tell people you the listener

what i was saying so uh most everybody listening knows that i had a stroke about a year ago

and i've been feeling since then this weird, um, effect.

I don't know.

It's from the stroke.

I don't know what is, but it's like if I, I feel disassociated from myself a bit.

I feel like I'm examining myself, uh, from a perspective other than myself. almost like I'm having a little bit of an out-of-body experience all the time watching myself. That's Cartesian, though. What is that? Have you read? I have no idea what that is. But, but, um, from Cartesian, of course. No, Descartes. Oh, okay. Um, because you were studying the Enlightenment, right? Yeah. And the whole, the whole I think, therefore I am. Oh, yeah. We didn't do that. Okay. Well, I mean, the sort of takeaway from one perspective is that there's a different self than the thinking self. Because if you say, I think, therefore I am, you're observing your thinking self and recognizing your own existence,

but from some other perspective.

Hmm.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah.

I mean, I've always kind of just lived my life and thought I am who I am, right?

And that I'm me and like that's all.
