Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

So... Yes.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I agree.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

What is the utility in agreeing with something you fundamentally think is actually incorrect?

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Is there a third option?

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Is there a third option?

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Instead of, I suppose, agreeing with what you very well may think is an illusion, which could be your own, or judging somebody for having an opinion.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Like, yeah, I guess I'm just questioning the...

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

You're like, yeah, okay.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Yeah, totally.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It invites you in to have an actual discussion which can actually make progress.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Yes.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

So I think there's definitely value there.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I don't think you can ever understand something and judge it at the same time.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

So like I try to bring that into as many encounters and, you know, conversations as possible because then you're just open to actually meeting somebody where they're at instead of their ideas of who they are, what they are.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Yes.
