Matt collects aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a handful of these so-called “Rubyisms,” the stories behind them, and the deeper truths they’re connected to:

  • When we ran out of needs to fulfill, they started manufacturing desire.
  • Never underestimate the power of inertia.
  • We call our medicine “drugs” and our drugs “medicine.”
  • Tension is a form of prayer.
