Pill Pod 181 - Hegelian EGirl Council ft. Jreg

samedi 31 août 2024 • Duration 01:17:37

We don't often have current events to cover, but once in a while the current events are Hegel.

The Hegelian E-Girl Council was to be the head of a new cult, which fell into a Twitter flame war about a week after its launch. Our guest's studio was the physical origin site of the Hegelian E-Girl Council which first blasted into the real world in NYC, and then onto theorytwitter for a glorious week before bursting into flames for the internet's schadenfreude.This was, in our consideration, not the abortive event it may seem at first glance, but a sign for the near future of theory.
