A surprising number of people google “partially examined life.” And then we get quite a bit of traffic from searches like “philosophy podcast” and “wittgenstein podcast.” But we also get hits from “grandpa bought a rubber.” Here are few more of my favorites:
- District 9 and Nietzsche
- Chuang Tzu Pronunciation
- Half examined life
- Partially good life
And last but most:
- did you bullshit today? did you try to bullshit today?
LoL! It’s very good that you’ve got quite a bit of relevant hits! Because Most of my traffic is through people who google bullshit!
Google has become the new way to not bother to actually type in a URL. On my iphone, I think I sometimes type “partially…” (which then prompts me, because I’ve entered it before, with the full name), and use that to get to our URL instead of typing “partiallyexaminedlife.com” or using a bookmark as would be sensible. I imagine others are listening to an ep off of iTunes and, obeying our every verbal command, go look us up when we tell them we have a site. (Though I guess I have evidence that people DON’T obey all of our “suggestions,” as those T-shirts are not selling well…)
