Ridenour shares a freestyle explanation of the three animals from two different perspectives, and gets a little bit heated near the end while talking about where people generally get their information. \r\n\r\nThe second portion of this episode is an example of a practice A.C. calls \"word-breaking\". Word-breaking is the process of considering a different meaning for a word; usually this is done by separating the roots and making connections, or translating portions into different languages, just for the hell of it. \r\n\r\nIn example: Dichotomy, Diabolical, Divided, Diablo. \r\n\r\nAll of these words start with \"Di\" which means \"separated\". Except, we don't think of \"Diabolical\" as meaning separated. We think it means \"evil\".  \"Diablo\" is the Spanish word for \"Devil\". \r\n\r\nConsidering those connections, is it possible that Jesus meant to say anything separate from God was evil? \r\n\r\nFor a more thorough explanation of this, check out the essay in the show notes at  https://thenomadtheory.simplecast.fm/70c739b2\r\n\r\n \r\nSo yes, it is a rant. And it gets a bit religious. But that is what came out at the time, so A.C. had to go with it - In the name of Intuition.\r\n\r\nThanks for listening to THE NOMAD THEORY, stay wild folks!"}
