Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by a returned guest, Dr. Joshua Glasgow. He is professor in and chair of the philosophy department at Sonoma State University. I'm leaving a link to our first interview in the description of this one, which was about the solace, his book The Solace, and today
We're talking about his latest book, The Significance, Impulse on the Unimportance of Our Cosmic Unimportance. So Dr. Glasgow, welcome back to the show. It's always a pleasure to have you one. Thank you, Ricardo.
It's a pleasure to be here. I'm looking forward to our conversation. So what is it that you call the significance impulse? What does that mean? So that's a label that I use to um capture the instinct that a lot of people have, not everybody, and I do think that it's probably culturally shaped.
