In this episode I discuss the reality of our existence basing it off of Cartesian skepticism, using The Truman Show (1998) to move it along more colourfully. How can we be sure we exist? Can we be sure? You do exist, but there are some things that we might never know about how we exist. Listen in to find out more!

In this episode I address the sudden uncalled-for existentialism that comes with figuring out our purpose (is there one?). Isn't it curious how all of nature bar humans come into this world fully aware of what their life's purpose is? I also (very) briefly touch on some philosophical concepts by Sartre, Nietzsche and Descartes but the main idea is for you to come to your own conclusion.

Sometimes you're happy to build something knowing its got to come down :)

This is a re-upload having adding a new part to the episode to clear-up a misinterpretation of a metaphor used in the initial version. I only made this addition as it reflects my true intentions behind what I was trying to say at the time more clearly. Don't take these things too literally, everything else remains unchanged x.

Ever think about what could have happened when a human who had never met another human met for the first time? This is my take, and it happens in a world that I want you to picture as illustrated by Salvador Dalí.
