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

And it's like, and, but they'll try their best to like remind you that no, there's, you're going to lose something.

How do I relate to the people around me, the perpetrators or the people who are victims?

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

Like crystals just form.
