Hello, everyone.
I'm Steven west.
This is philosophize this.
Apologize for the short delay on the episode.
As some of you know, I was expecting a son to be born in May, but he decided to come six weeks early a few days ago.
So we've been in and out of the NICU all week.
Thank you for your patience.
The good news is the next three Mondays in a row, we're dropping episodes, so you can look forward to that.
I guess I'm just gonna get started on this one.
Quick heads up, though.
This is a bit of a longer episode.
I tried to cut it down, but I really wanted to take some additional care with some of these ideas today.
I always try to be respectful of your time and the ideas.
Look, I promise if you stick with it, it'll all come together by the end of the episode.
So last time we talked about how there's this common way people will talk about politics.
They'll say, you know, that person over there is on the left.
This person over here is on the right.
And we talked about how, to a lot of philosophers these days, how that's ultimately too simple a way to think about it.
If you ever want to understand the complexity of the ways people look at things, people's views don't often fall into a neat binary like that.
It's become more and more common for people to be conservative on some issues, progressive on others.
