About this listen

This episode is about the little crack in rational life we all carry: the part of us that still knocks on wood, buys the long-shot ticket, and refuses to believe reality is fully settled.

Using UFOs as the sharpest example—something seen, not easily explained—I trace how uncertainty becomes story, how certainty curdles into cynicism, and why a small openness to the absurd might be less a weakness than a way to stay free.
