You shouldn’t exist. The math says the odds are microscopic, yet here you are, asking impossible questions about reality. This episode unpacks five famous paradoxes to explain why your life feels contradictory and how to think clearly inside that contradiction.

Across choice overload, identity, causation, motion, time, and the search for alien life, we trace the logic, the science, and the practical takeaways. By the end, you’ll see why paradoxes aren’t bugs in reality, they’re signals about how reality works.
