Summary
We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors by discussing the recent findings from the James Webb telescope, springboarding to the idea that there is virtue in agnosticism rather than in smug certainty. Then we return to the book "4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals." We discuss issues such as finding joy in the mundane and everyday tasks of life, whether "getting ahead of ourselves" is a good or bad thing, and why so many pursuits don't seem legit if they're not profitable monetarily. Biebers involve surveys and slow morons.
