Episode Synopsis

A reflection on feeling disconnected, starting with simple preferences and moving to the limitations of categorized living (like "hobbies"). The conversation touches on the quiet puzzle of social deduction and the absurdity of expressing absurdity. It settles into the struggle between the current self and a future one, the emptiness that follows illusory validation, and the instinct to pull back when the person others see isn't who you are trying to be.
