Is this real? Does this episode exist? Luckily, yes! Philosopher, professor and political expert Stephen A. Simon is joining us today on the ITBR! Fascinating is an understatement... Stephen provided an awesome conversation intertwining the metaphysical, political and philosophical in a way that makes the abstract understandable.
His 2025 spiritually provocative book Why Does Anything Exist?: An Introductory Exploration taps into our innate human curiosity for answers by using not just one, but a variety of means to explore that question rather than answer it directly. Science, religion, philosophy, and even mathematics is explored to tackle our broadest and most daunting question yet.
