Ronak is an old friend. He’s a talented artist and one of the most intelligent and rational people I know– especially among those who consume slaughtered innocents out of convenience or boredom.
In this episode, we discuss the challenges of taking reality seriously. Ronak feebly attempts to battle the truth through appeals to normalcy, futility, convenience, and taste. Like a glorious, graceful arbiter of righteousness, I DELIVER THE COSMIC BALANCE TO RONAK’S MIND-BRAIN.
I’m vegan, by the way.
