Hey this is your night cap for July 3rd. We are recording this on and I hope to post this tomorrow, very soon, sometime before the end of the weekend, so we can be very up to date in this exact political moment that we're in.

I'm here with West and Seth, hey. Hey. Hey. I didn't realize we're talking about politics.

Well, we had a topic which sort of relied on Dylan because it was, but we could bash Dylan a little in his absence I don't mind which which is so let's do that the appetizer

rather than we'll see if we get consumed by the political stuff but early on when it was just the three of us I think I would spend a good amount of time

when we would read a new philosopher sort of reflecting on is this kind of philosophy

worth doing?

I mean there was the question of like is it really philosophy.

We that came, we've dealt with that in other night caps and other individual circumstances.

I don't want to dwell on that but just

questioning like what kind of answer are they looking for and is this a kind of

answer that we would find valuable.

And as we're recording this, folks have not heard this yet,

but we just recorded one on Indian philosophy.

And I went into that very apprehensive,

because last time we did't need philosophy with Stephen Phillips,

Wes you seemed a little like not necessarily what is the point of doing this philosophy but like

why would we bother to read this given that it's just sort of simplified, transliterated

into different language, kind of dumbed down versions of some arguments for the existence of

God that we've already considered more thoroughly in other contexts.
