About this listen

In this episode I will be covering Descartes' Trademark Argument for the existence of God, as a way to attempt to prove the existence of the external world through reason alone- featuring surprisingly relevant rambles on the sims and a recent horror movie that got me spooked.


(New intro, outro and interlude done by: me, a failed musician in Carnap's eyes <3)
