In this episode, the discussion begins with Rory wriggling out of Jack's earlier demand that he come prepared with at least one joke to tell; to compensate for this failure, Rory explains to Jack a new social media project he has been developing, tentatively titled 'Philosophy in a New York Minute.' After some brainstorming about this project, the conversation turns to an examination of existentialism and absurdism, especially through the lens of works by Sartre and Camus. Jack and Rory have some small (or perhaps not so small) disagreements about the merit and usefulness of both of these schools of thought, but the pair ultimately agree on one of the central concerns for both existentialism and absurdism: the importance of meaning-making for humans. Finally, the topic of nondualism returns once again, with the interlocutors focusing this time primarily on the phenomenology of nondual experience: what might it be like to live life so thoroughly decentered from the conventional boundaries of the body and mind?
