  • Episode 9: Identity, or Why Your Sock is a Lie

    Join us this week, as we journey down the rivers of self-questioning and metaphysics on our very own existential boat, exploring the realms of identity and what makes us "us". Travelling through time, space and several thought experiments, we discuss why understanding identity matters, especially today, in the 21st century.

    Bonus: Azul introduces Alex to his one true love: existential crises.
