    Ep. 5 The Question is Broken

    Thomas Gerkin has studied philosophy and ethics extensively, but that doesn't mean he has all the answers. We talk about his religious journey through two Christian sects, atheism, and agnosticism, and why he believes questions of meaning are beyond logic. Also, we compare a few possible universes, I learn about Simone Weil, and Thomas recommends some excellent Bach tunes.
