--------------------------------------VIDEO NOTES--------------------------------------
This was a very long conversation, and one which many listeners may find pedantic and frustrating, but that's the nature of the topic.
Unfortunately, we suffered some technical issues, such as Stephen's microphone not working, and cameras intermittently cutting out. This means that there are some points at which we had to briefly stop so I could restart the camera. If you notice any 'jumps' in the footage (which I tried to smoothly edit), this was where we simply stopped for a few seconds and immediately restarted talking.
This conversation was only supposed to last one hour, but went over. Because of this, the cameras ran out of batteries. Thus, the last section of this video is audio only. Rather than thinking of it as lost video, consider it to be extra audio, since the conversation lasted longer than intended.
With that said, I hope these issues don't detract from the conversation about nihilism and purpose. Let us know what you think, and be sure to watch our other conversations, on veganism and abortion, on Stephen's and Rachel's channels respectively.
