Men in Charge in Brief(s): Is It Really a Bagel?

May 24, 2026 · 5 min

About this episode

The episode humorously questions the existence of bagels through a philosophical lens.

As is well-known, the brilliant Dutch Sephardic Jewish philosopher, Baruch Spinoza, began his closely-argued book Ethics, written in the style of geometrical demonstrations, with the first, most fundamental question, "Why are there bagels, rather than not?" We don't explore that question in this sketch.
