Shownotes

This month we get very existential and I start with a big question: does the external world exist? That is, is there a physical, permanent, 3D world beyond your current experience?

"You do not know the external world because there is no external world" - me!

Next listen: Is The World Physical? (#131) ; Do Other People Exist? (#132)
