You're listening to serious inquiries only. I'm Thomas Smith. That's Jamie Lombardi. How are you doing Jamie?

I'm doing all right Thomas, how are you? Well, I'm excited because we are going to take a break from politics right now.

That's exciting.

Not terribly excited about politics, but excited that we're not going to talk about politics.

Sound good? good deal?

Yeah, hard, same.

I really cannot handle the nightmare timeline anymore.

So I'm really looking forward to this non-political diversion.

Okay, so Iowa, got, okay, let's talk about, so we got the, no I'm just kidding, we're not gonna do it,

we're not gonna do it. Yeah, at least what can be said about the timeline is that it finds new ways.

It finds new and ever better ways to F with us. It's amazing. amazing yeah all I'm saying is you know the idea

that like an evil genius is our evil demon is screwing with us about the

nature of reality doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore and I think we need to give

that a little bit more consideration than we previously have.

I for one welcome our demon overlords.

All right, but you know we're going to talk about something that is, from my understanding,

actually kind of a topic of philosophy these days, which is perfect for a philosopher and

Jamie Lombardi.

And it's also just super interesting to a lot of people.

Something made the rounds the other month and it's kind of come in a few waves, but it went a bit

viral that some people have an inner monologue probably I think most people's my understanding

have an inner monologue but some people don't and I don't know how this came up between you and I, Jamie.
