not you know like i always actually ask you know if you don't care about the truth try closing your eyes and walking across you know a busy highway uh you're gonna start caring about the truth of whether or not there's a bus coming but i think people are maybe putting types of beliefs into boxes and so for things that functionally deal with physics and reality here like are you going to get smooshed by a boss well of course they care about that truth but for other things maybe they don't care about the truth as much maybe it's more about as does it feel good which is why we keep hearing about oh this is kind of metaphorical i don't know where are you at yeah i i mean it that's very much been my my experience too that they they tend to group things up like this but um i don't know i i find these sort of more flowery things almost kind of annoying because it feels like i'm being obfuscated from like the reality of the situation what i'm trying to get to and knowing that there are some people out there who do believe in like a literal thor or something is like okay that's cool that's interesting so like explain it to me but it's always just been these sort of fake gestures towards metaphorical concepts and the universe and physics and the cosmos or whatever but i definitely want someone to call in if you're in the audience right now and you can explain it to us please please do i genuinely i genuinely want to understand well we do have a couple theos online and hopefully we'll get into some discussions remember the the primary point about this call this show is for you to call and tell us what you believe and why and while we generally focus on you know the big questions of is there a god or the supernatural etc um there are other things too and there are things that arden and i may or may not be correct about um and if we're wrong we i know i know us both pretty well we would both like to find out that we're wrong so we can stop being wrong but uh there are a couple more announcements to get to before we get to calls and that is if you want to engage uh you can in fact call the show there's no guarantee that you're going to necessarily get through right off the bat we do have call screeners their job is not to get rid of the best calls the job is to get rid of people uh or not to get rid of people but to pass through the calls where somebody's actually spent some time thinking about it put together an argument may have some defense and is interesting and so if you don't get through the first time don't take that as a as oh i'll give up you know screw that just take some time to write down stuff on paper because some people i know i've been doing this show for NUMBER_TOKEN plus years there are some people who who tune into the show and are like oh well that's wrong i'm going to call in right now and they haven't taken a second to like take a breath and figure out what it is that they want to say all we're trying to do is make sure that all sides are represented and in the best way they can but there's ways for you to participate
