Today I am rejoined by Sierra in an anecdotal exploration of relationships, and the various ways in which relationships sometimes don't work out the way we hope. The discussion is an introduction to an idea of "philosophizing with the body," which will likely be an object of exploration further down the road. The emphasis today is on the importance of physicality and experience -- of "being there," in the Heideggerian sense -- to making relationships work, and in being the sort of person who will attract the sort of person you want to be with.

Today I decided on a whim to bring up some classical source text I think more people should be aware of and mindful of on the subject of weapons, gun-control (and knife-control, for you dangerous Brits), and disarmament more generally. It is often assumed that our position today is fundamentally different, due to differences in technology and arguments that were foreign even 100 years ago, before the horrifically deadly ASSAULT RIFLE. Yet when we look back to Machiavelli, to Plato, and to Homer, we find a striking similarity in the nature of the arguments and in the motivations for making them. As always, I encourage everyone to read the source texts directly, for their own edification as well as for understanding the true nature of often misused quotations. The Odyssey, the Republic, and the Prince are all works in the public domain, and can be read (or listened to) online.

Today I'm joined by Coach Josh Wood of Strong for Life to explore some of the psychology behind health and fitness. Does good health preceed confidence and a healthy mind? Or is it the other way around? What exactly is the relationship between physicality and problem solving? Is it something you just have or don't, or are physicality and confidence things you can build up over time? And are there any philosophical implications to any of this? These are some of the questions Josh and I attempt to answer in our conversation, which fits within a broader, somewhat Nietzschean understanding of the importance of the body to philosophy, especially when it comes to resilience and the endurance of pain.
