Today we begin by talking about Nietzsche's concept of life-affirmation. Contrasting it with the renunciative, rational traditions of Western thought. The episode then delves into Greek tragedy through the lens of Simon Critchley's work; making a case for how these ancient plays offer a life-affirming perspective by embracing the ambiguity of human existence.

I can't thank you enough for making this podcast and my family's life possible. Will be catching up to the messages and questions ASAP. Be well :)

Luckily there's plenty of independent and foreign films which explore the more complex tragic elements of life. Just gotta stay away from the Hollywood BS (just my opinion not meant to offend anyone). "Anatomy of a Fall" is a recent film that does a great job of exploring precisely the idea that no one is right or wrong and that our perspective on events is a construct influenced by a million tiny details and encounters which cannot be said to add up to "the truth." Anyway, this was a great episode as usual! Always love a little Nietzsche.
