Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Folks, welcome to the Eric's Texas show. Today we're going to do something a little different.

We're going to air right now the entirety of a recent Socrates in the city conversation that I had with Dr. Stephen Meyer.

Some of you are familiar with Socrates in the city. We do these now and again. We did this a few

months ago. It's a wonderful conversation with a brilliant person who is a friend. And we just wanted to air it on this program.

So here it is. Socrates in the city with Dr. Stephen Meyer.

Thank you so much. My goodness. I just want to just say a few words briefly about what Socrates in the city is.

And then I want to introduce my guest, our guest, tonight, Dr. Stephen Meyer.

So some of you already know what Socrates in the city is.

And if you do, how many of you are familiar with Socrates in the city, right, Jim?

Okay, you guys can go out and take your cigarette break if you want to.

Socrates in the city.

Some of you know that Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living,

and then he blew his brains out in an alley. All right, you knew that was a joke.

All right, great, great, great. He said the unexamined life is not worth living. And I think I live

in Manhattan, you know, cultural capital of the world, and the cultural capitals of the world,

they don't talk about the big questions.

Have you ever noticed that? Yeah, you don't bring those things up at cocktail parties.

You know what cocktail party is?

You know, two hours out of the city, I'm taking nothing for granted, okay?

How many of you own chickens?

Raise your hands.
