Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
Why do things exist? We have swallowed wholesale this idea that everything can be reduced to scientific explanations. I just don't think that's true. What is the most dangerous idea people believe without questioning? There are very few things that people can be certain of.
