Now administering third-eyed drops.

Welcome back wonder divers, Michael Philip here, and I don't make a lot of assumptions.

I don't make a lot of proclamations, but one thing is pretty obvious, everyone.

Wants to know how to live a meaningful life that matters.

I mean, that's probably highly correlated to why you even listen to these mind melds, right?

Everybody wants to feel like they matter that what they do is of consequence like their life

is about something. At the same time, I don't think anyone does know how.

No matter how much someone looks like they have it figured out,

even if they themselves believe they do have it figured out in the medicines,

I don't think they really do. In fact, as I've news about and hopefully demonstrated

over the course of now 300 episodes of this pod, I would say the wisest among us

for all their wisdom, no, that they don't have it figured out, that they know whatever this dance

we call life is it is brimming with paradox ambivalence and gray area.

So in summary, that leaves us with a nice little paradox cocktail in and of itself,

doesn't it? We all want to have a life of meaning and consequence and to figure it all out,

yet the wiser we get, the more we're aware of the multitudes we don't know if we're being honest

with ourselves. That is, you can just tap out of that too and double down on ego-tistical

delusions. That's always an option. And on that note, it is pretty clear that there are ways

that trend toward the better. There are clearly people who you can palpably feel are attempting

to earnestly carry the flame of meaning, are living in such a way where they've built their

life around searching for purpose and helping others do the same. I do think that matters.

And I do think that that's something we should all strive for. And gorgeous wonder-dippers,
