Podcast #282: Optimistic Nihilism

from Drunk Ex-Pastors · host Christian Kingery, Jason Stellman, Drunk Ex-Pastors

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we play a listener's voicemail about death, which leads us into a discussion about so-called "Optimistic Nihilism," a view that says that we can still find beauty in the world despite everything being pointless and destined to ruin. We then turn our attention to a recent study suggesting that people living in red states have worse—and significantly shorter—lives than their blue-state-dwelling superiors. Biebers involve search engines and fatty nuts.
