Ep 22 // Rubyisms Vol. 1: Desire, Inertia, Tension, Prayer, and Drugs vs. Medicine

Update: 2023-07-06

Description

Matt collects aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a handful of these so-called “Rubyisms,” the stories behind them, and the deeper truths they’re connected to:

When we ran out of needs to fulfill, they started manufacturing desire.
Never underestimate the power of inertia.
We call our medicine “drugs” and our drugs “medicine.”
Tension is a form of prayer.
