Oh boy. This is when you know we've become far too comfortable with what we release to our Patreon subscribers. Christian is having an existential meltdown and asks Josh, why is there something? And, if nothing is really nothing, then where does nothing exist? It's certainly not nowhere, nowhere must be somewhere. Ultimately, just ... why? Josh tries his best to work through Christian's mild melt but his attempts are ultimately futile.
Do you think with enough thought you could fundamentally change your position on something? Do epiphanies exist? This wouldn't be a Christian and Josh solo Bonus Patch without some kind of mention of therapy and our learnings from the process. Josh then defines one of the best words going around, 'sonder'.
Josh explains that he has found it hard to describe his emotions in the past and takes Christian through his use of an emotions wheel. He then asks, if an ordinary person tried many different types of self-help courses, would they end up at the some point at the end of it all? He finally declares that "it's been long enough, we should have sorted all of this out by now".
Finally, we ask, does the visual diversity in humans exist in the animal kingdom?
