How to Stop Absorbing Other People’s Negativity

Most people crumble the second someone hurls an insult their way. You, me, everyone. But this short episode throws a Zen-sized wrench into that reaction with one of the simplest, hardest truths in spiritual awakening:
 
You only suffer when you accept the insult that was handed to you.
 
Will reads “The Gift of Insults,” a powerful parable from The Monk and the Butterfly that reveals why your peace isn’t actually as fragile as you think...it’s just mismanaged. And then he goes off-script into a raw, honest reflection on triggers, the pain-body, energy dynamics, and why letting people “take your peace” is a decision… not an inevitability.
 
This is one of those deceptively small episodes that lands like a tuning fork in your chest.


What You’ll Learn

  • Why insults are “gifts”, and how not accepting them changes everything
  • How your pain-body hijacks your reactions (thanks, Eckhart Tolle)
  • Why people try to steal your energy, and how offering it freely disarms them
  • A practical approach to staying grounded when someone comes at you sideways
  • How triggers point to deeper inner work you’ve been avoiding
  • Why protecting your peace is a skill… and one you probably haven’t mastered ye
Will digs into:
  • How this same lesson plays out with his daughter
  • When “not accepting the gift” becomes spiritual bypassing
  • Why understanding the energetics behind conflict changes how you handle it
  • How to stop giving away your power without becoming cold, detached, or numb
Why This Matters
If you’re on a spiritual path, you’re going to be challenged, often by the exact people who know how to push your buttons. This episode gives you the framework to stop getting dragged around by other people’s emotional chaos. 

It’s not about perfection. It’s about awareness. Control. Choice.
 
Perfect For You If:
  • You’re tired of absorbing other people’s crap
  • You react too quickly and regret it
  • You’re working on boundaries or emotional intelligence
  • You’re ready to level up your spiritual resilience

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.960
Either Welcome back to another episode of the Skeptic Metaphysicians. Today,

2
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.080
I'm going to be reading from one of my favorite books,

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.439
The Monk and the Butterfly, Stories of Zen and the

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.839
Art of Change. The stories called the Gift of Insults,

5
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:21.320
and it goes like this. In a small village, nestled

6
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.839
among rolling hills and tranquil streams, there lived a zen

7
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.280
master named Kaido, known throughout the region for his unwavering

8
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:35.200
calm and profound wisdom. Master Kaito's presence was a source

9
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.799
of peace in the village, where he spent his days

10
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:41.799
teaching the principles of Zen to all who sought his guidance.

11
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.399
His gentle demeanor and serene smile had a way of

12
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:51.799
easing troubled minds, and his wisdom was both simple and profound,

13
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:59.039
often conveyed through parables and quiet reflections. One day, a

14
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.520
visitor from a distant land arrived in the village. The

15
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:07.079
visitor had heard of Master Kaito's reputation for tranquility and

16
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.239
was determined to challenge it. Known for his quick temper

17
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.200
and sharp tongue, the visitor believed that no one could

18
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.439
be as calm as the stories suggested, and He sought

19
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.480
to prove that Master Kaito's peace was nothing more than

20
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.519
an illusion, something that could be easily shattered by the

21
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.000
right provocation. The visitor waited until Master Kaito was seated

22
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.239
in the village square, where he often meditated or spoke

23
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.719
with those who came to seek his wisdom. The village

24
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.680
square was bustling that day, with merchants selling their wares

25
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.799
and villagers going about their daily routines. As the visitor approached,

26
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:55.599
people began to gather, sensing that something unusual was about

27
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.719
to happen. Without warning, the visitor launched into a tirade

28
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.480
of insults. His voice rang out across the square, Filled

29
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.080
with venom and spite, he hurled insult after insult at

30
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.240
Master Kaito, each word sharper than last, designed to provoke

31
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.159
and unsettle the calm that surrounded the Master like an aura.

32
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.960
The villagers, drawn by the commotion, stopped what they were

33
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.039
doing and gathered around. They watched in silence, their breaths held,

34
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.000
waiting to see how Master Kaito would respond to such

35
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.599
an attack. Some of them, having experienced the Master's wisdom,

36
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:43.719
were confident he would remained unmoved. Others, curious and skeptical,

37
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.879
wondered if this visitor might finally break the legendary serenity

38
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:54.759
of the zen master A. Master Kaito sat quietly, his

39
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.719
expression unchanged as the visitor's words rained down on him.

40
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.560
He listened attentively, his hands resting gently in his lap,

41
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:10.000
a small, gentle smile playing on his lips. His eyes

42
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.080
were soft, filled with compassion, as if he could see

43
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.960
beyond the visitor's harsh words to the turmoil that lay

44
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.159
within him. The insults flowed like a bitter river, but

45
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:27.840
Master Kaito remained a rock in its mists, unshaken and undisturbed.

46
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.960
After what felt like an eternity, the visitor finally paused,

47
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.159
panting slightly from the effort of his verbal assault. He

48
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.639
had expected anger, or at least a defensive reaction, but

49
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.919
seeing none, he was confused. He stood before the Master,

50
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.400
his chest heaving, waiting for a response, certain that his

51
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.639
words must have landed their mark. Master Kaito looked up

52
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.199
at the visitor, his smile never wavering. He spoke softly,

53
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.879
his voice as calm as ever. If someone offers you

54
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.759
a gift and you choose not to accept it, to

55
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:13.800
whom does the gift belong. While the visitor blinked, caught

56
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.959
off guard by the question, he stammered, it it remains

57
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.319
with the giver, of course, mister Kaito nodded, exactly, just

58
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.920
like your insults. You offered them to me, but I

59
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.639
chose not to accept them. They remain yours. The visitor

60
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:38.879
stared at him, speechless. The crowd, too was silent, absorbing

61
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.959
this simplicity and power of the Master's words. In that

62
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.240
single moment, Master Kaiko had not only deflected the visitor's insults,

63
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.600
but had also turned the encounter and into a profound

64
00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:00.839
lesson in positive thinking and inner peace. Insults, Master Kaito

65
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.879
continued gently, are like gifts. When someone offers you an insult,

66
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.920
you have the choice to accept it or not. If

67
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.639
you refuse to accept it, the insult will It stays

68
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.079
with the one who gave it, and your peace remains unbroken.

69
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.519
You see, our serenity is not dependent on the actions

70
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.680
or words of others, but on how we choose to respond.

71
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.319
By refusing to accept negativity, we retain control over our

72
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:36.160
own happiness. The visitor, who had come with the intention

73
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.879
of disrupting the Master's peace, found in himself, found himself

74
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.680
humbled by the encounter, you realize that Master Kaito's calm

75
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.879
was not a facade, but a deep and genuine peace

76
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.959
that could not be shaken by mere words. The Master's

77
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.639
wisdom had turned the visitor's own bitterness back on him,

78
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.120
but not with anger or malice, only with compassion and understanding.

79
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:09.480
Well humble, the visitor bowed deeply before Master Kaito. Thank

80
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.720
you for your lesson. Master, he said, his voice now

81
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.000
quiet and sincere. I came here with anger in my heart,

82
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.879
but you have shown me the power of a peaceful mind.

83
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:27.879
Master Kaito smiled warmly and bowed in return. May you

84
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:33.160
find peace within yourself, he said. The visitor, transformed by

85
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.639
the encounter, left the village with a lighter heart, carrying

86
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.279
the lesson of Master Kaito with him. As for the villagers,

87
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.560
they too walked away with a deeper understanding. They realized

88
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.120
that the power of positive thinking lay not in denying

89
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.120
the challenges of life, but in choosing how to respond

90
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.040
to them. The story the Gifts of Insults, spread far

91
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.399
and wide, reminded all who heard it that true peace

92
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.160
comes from within, and that no one has the power

93
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:14.720
to take away our serenity unless we give it to them. Wow,

94
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.600
that is a powerful story and one that people might

95
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:27.839
say much easier to say than to live. And I agree,

96
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.920
it is not the easiest thing to do. And I'm

97
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:37.800
constantly trying to remind myself that things, whether they're good

98
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.279
or bad, that someone says to you or does to you,

99
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.680
even they're gifts. There are gifts. And we can go

100
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.319
into the WU of it all about hello, everything happens

101
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.120
for a reason and all that kind of stuff, but

102
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.120
to keep it firmly rooted in the three D here,

103
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.399
it is a matter of choice whether or not we

104
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.639
accept the gift that is being given to us. And

105
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.759
though those people would probably say, whatever gift is given

106
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.319
to you, it is rude to not accept, right, some

107
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:10.439
of the WU teachers out there, some of the spiritual

108
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.360
teachers talk about the fact that everything that's been given

109
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.319
to you is given to you, being given to you

110
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.079
for a reason, and the act of not accepting it

111
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.680
means you are rejecting some sort of lesson or something

112
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.439
that you needed to learn or to find your trigger

113
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.560
point to be able to process through them, or things

114
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.279
like that, and those things are viable, Those things are

115
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:38.960
completely legitimate. In my opinion, but there's a difference between

116
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:45.360
accepting a gift that triggers us and identifying that the

117
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.320
gift that we're being given is triggering us and instead

118
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:55.720
choosing not to not accept it, but rather to discover

119
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:59.320
the reason for the trigger and refuse to allow the

120
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:04.320
trigger to affect us. Now, I'm just reading the at

121
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.360
Gartole's book, A New Earth Awakening Your Life's Purpose, and

122
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.240
it talks a lot about your pain body, and boy

123
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.279
am I learning a lot about the pain body, and

124
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.159
from what that book is telling me, A lot of

125
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.080
times we don't have a choice of how we respond

126
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.200
if we allow our pain body to take over. And

127
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:26.080
it is extremely difficult to not allow the pain body

128
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.000
to rear its ugly head for lots of reasons that

129
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.519
we'll talk about in the future episode. For sure, because

130
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:39.399
I find it fascinating. But with time and meditation or

131
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.799
whateverever you want to talk about it or think about it,

132
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.759
we should definitely try to endeavor to pay attention to

133
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:54.279
what Master Kaito's suggestions are, and that is to not

134
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.159
allow something to take our peace away from us. There's

135
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.279
a big saying how you only give someone the power

136
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.559
that which you allow them to have I tell my

137
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.000
daughter that all the time she comes home from school

138
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.200
and someone's been teasing her, or someone said something that

139
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.440
she didn't like, or something like that, it seems obvious

140
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.080
to me to say to her, well, honey, you're you're

141
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.399
letting them take your peace away. Don't let them take

142
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.440
your piece away. This means this has nothing to do

143
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.080
with you. This has more to do with something that's

144
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.320
inside of them. So if you just think of it

145
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.240
in that way, it might be easier for you to

146
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.440
deal with. It's a lot easier said than done. Like

147
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.960
I said at the beginning, But if I'm to take

148
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.120
my own counsel instead of being in the hypocrite that

149
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:44.720
sometimes I can't tend to be, I would love to

150
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.679
learn from my own counsel, which is someone says something

151
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.879
that I don't like, someone does something to me that

152
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:57.360
I don't like, and I choose to not allow them

153
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.159
to take that power from me. I choose to not

154
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.480
give them the power over me that they're trying to

155
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:08.279
wrestle from me. And we can go even deeper into energetics,

156
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.559
in the exchange of energies and how they're trying to

157
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:15.559
take your energy away from you. There is a book

158
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.399
that I read a while back, a long time ago,

159
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.759
that says the way to prevent that from happening is

160
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.200
to give it to someone freely, because really that's what

161
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.000
they're trying to do, right when they're trying to get

162
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.759
a reaction from you, or they're angry at you and

163
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:30.759
they want you to get angry back, or trying to

164
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.000
trigger you whatever, they're literally they're trying to take your

165
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.039
energy in some way, shape or form, because perhaps they

166
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.919
are depleted and they're trying to find a way to

167
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.480
get that energy back, and by making you feel bad

168
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.679
and making them it's filling them back up again. So

169
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.240
if you look at it in that way, it is

170
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.759
them trying to take your energy. Well, this book you

171
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.440
may have heard of it, maybe not. It's called The

172
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.840
Celestine Prophecy. I tried reading it again a little bit

173
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.279
ago and it didn't quite hold up, so I can't

174
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.840
recommend it. But I did learn a lot from it.

175
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.519
It's got great lessons in it, and I may not

176
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.039
have been the right place to read it again. I

177
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:12.759
may have to try to pick it up again. Sometimes

178
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.320
you won't try it again. But the big lesson, one

179
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.559
of the big lessons that I got from that book

180
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.759
is if someone is trying to take your energy, instead

181
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.080
of trying to cut it off, because then suddenly that

182
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.919
puts us on the defensive, give it to them. Literally,

183
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.559
focus on giving them all the energy. They're sitting there

184
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:36.159
angry at you, yelling or being mean or whatever it is.

185
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.600
Instead of cutting it off and being angry back and

186
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.039
allowing them that energy to be stolen from you, offer

187
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:46.200
it to them willingly. Just send them. Just picture yourself

188
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.080
sending them all the energy that you can, filling them

189
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.960
up as much as possible, because apparently what that does

190
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.679
is that you are not taking your energy and giving

191
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.399
it to them, You're actually opening a channel to the

192
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.519
universal life force energy and you are channeling that energy

193
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.279
through you to them, so in essence, you are helping

194
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:11.399
them without being robbed of your own. Sometimes we feel

195
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.840
cut off from the universal energies, and so it's difficult

196
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.440
for us to share of our energies with someone because

197
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:22.159
we are cut off. That's a whole other story. But

198
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.279
if you are able to allow yourself to connect, ground yourself,

199
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.159
anchor yourself in the present moment and understand, identify what

200
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.679
it is that's happening, and give them all the energy

201
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.879
that you can, you might find that you diffuse the situation.

202
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.320
I went down some rabbit holes I did not think

203
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:44.639
I was going to go down to when I first

204
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.080
started reading the story. But I am letting universe speak

205
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.759
to me these days, So I hope that you gained

206
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.840
something from that. I actually gained a lot. You know,

207
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.679
it's interesting I do these for you, but I do

208
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.440
these for me because I know that every time I

209
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:03.039
sit down in the front of the microphone and start

210
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.960
talking about things like this, it teaches me things. It

211
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.159
reminds me of things that I've forgotten and who did

212
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:19.480
I need that lesson today? Yeah, lots more coming on

213
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:24.720
all the stuff that's happening these days. But whatever it

214
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.879
is that you get from this episode, I would love

215
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.600
to hear from you. What is it that you got

216
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.600
from this, What touched you? What stories did it remind you? Of?

217
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:41.759
What questions do you have? What motivations have you suddenly found?

218
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.080
What direction are you going to go in? Please go

219
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.759
ahead and reach out to me, let me know what

220
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.720
you're thinking. If you could do me a huge favor

221
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.440
and give us a five star review on Apple Podcasts,

222
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.879
it will help us a lot. We've recently, I had

223
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.679
a couple that have been less than five stars because

224
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.519
of one reason or another, and they're perfectly entitled to

225
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.159
their opinion, but having a lot of five star reviews

226
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.039
and not just ratings, but reviews help people who are

227
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:19.320
looking for shows to decide whether or not to give

228
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.840
us a chance. And we really would appreciate your help

229
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:24.080
and helping us to grow, because we want to make

230
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:25.759
sure we get these messages out to as many people

231
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:29.960
as we can. So Apple Podcasts, all you need to

232
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.279
do is set up an account. We don't already have one.

233
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.559
It doesn't cost anything or anything like that. Or I

234
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.200
think Spotify now is allowing reviews as well, but it's

235
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.919
not as pertinent as Apple Podcasts wants. So if you

236
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.639
could do us a favor and leave us a five

237
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.759
star review, really really would appreciate it. And hey, if

238
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.039
you want to watch these things on video format, there's

239
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.919
always new Reality TV dot com. We are ramping things

240
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.559
up in a big way. We can't wait to share

241
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.039
with you what our next step is. It's going to

242
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.559
blow you away. I'm very sure of it, and I'm excited,

243
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.399
But for now, I'm going to leave this where it's

244
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.639
at again, thank you so much for listening, thank you

245

someone that would benefit from hearing these messages, please please

247
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.440
don't hesitate to reach out to them and send this

248
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.759
episode to them and encourage them to listen to it,

249
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:26.279
because you never know how much good you can do

250
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.720

251
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.120
in that particular moment. All right, thanks for listening. We'll

252
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.279
see you on the next episode of The Skeptic Metapositions.

253
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:37.679
Until then, take really good care of yourself.
