We are bringing back our creation of Effective Philosophy© to solve a recent lie that I told.

In Episode #309 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: Brendan highlighting our recent shift away from philosophy, Juan's recent book review, why I lied about the details of car switching within my family, why lies that effect reality are the ones that really need fixing, Juan's recent thoughts on adopting a longer term outlook, the paradox of life always changing and why hypotheticals aren't always helpful.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
