Episode 92 – The Fillion Guiding Hand
Overview
Stephen and Alan discuss something that is more philosophical and less geeky, yet it ties in with Nathan Fillion and how he has guided Stephen in life choices. You just need to listen.
We do touch on the Ukraine/Russian thing going on, but we don’t focus on the politics of war.
We talk about upcoming talks Stephen is doing at the Dayton Rg, which Al will be attending.
don’t fret – we still have some great recommendations:

Okay. Hey, jeez, we got lists, but I’m going to ask you a question to get us started today. And this is a little outside the geeky realm, but I know our viewpoints on these differs. So I think it’s a cool conversation. And I’ll tell you why I’m asking this after I ask it, because I don’t want to bias [00:01:00] it.
So give me your thoughts and feelings on receiving signs from the universe or a greater power, or what you think of those types of things. And I know that really sounds witchy. Woo. I know. It’s absolutely that we make of those things, what we want. There is no higher power.
[00:01:24] Alan: There’s no outside forces that are acting on us. The world is all what it is. It’s chemicals and physics. And we find patterns where we want to, and sometimes we listen to those things because we want to do whatever we think we’re seeing in the signs. I am very much a naturalist instead of a supernatural list.
I guess I get how people want to think. That there is benevolent or malevolent forces and that somehow the universe is talking to them to tell them what to do with their life, whether that’s astrology, whether that’s visitation, whether we know what I mean, there’s all kinds of ways in [00:02:00] which we’ve decided to interpret those kinds of things.
But when you look at it from science, when you look at it from repeatability, when you look at it from predictability, all it is because we want to find patterns. Human beings are pattern, finding animals. That’s even the name of a prog rock band because it’s deep in our survival. To be able to say, what’s going on?
What might happen next? How do I prepare myself to be able to handle that next situation? Whether I’m predator or prey, you it’s all about we, we have an incredible capacity for finding faces in things because nothing lights our brain up more than interacting with a...
