I'm Stephen West.
This is Philosophize This.

There were two episodes of the podcast released today, parts three and four of the Simone Bay series.
This episode, which is part four, builds off of ideas that were discussed in the last episode, which is part three.

PhilosophizeThis.org for ways to do that.
