Episode 59: A Brief Classical History of Disarmament

Monday, April 22, 2024 • Duration 22:32

Today I decided on a whim to bring up some classical source text I think more people should be aware of and mindful of on the subject of weapons, gun-control (and knife-control, for you dangerous Brits), and disarmament more generally.

It is often assumed that our position today is fundamentally different, due to differences in technology and arguments that were foreign even 100 years ago, before the horrifically deadly ASSAULT RIFLE. Yet when we look back to Machiavelli, to Plato, and to Homer, we find a striking similarity in the nature of the arguments and in the motivations for making them.

As always, I encourage everyone to read the source texts directly, for their own edification as well as for understanding the true nature of often misused quotations. The Odyssey, the Republic, and the Prince are all works in the public domain, and can be read (or listened to) online.

Episode 50: Druidry (with Awen)

Thursday, October 19, 2023 • Duration 43:41

Today I'm joined by Awen (aka Lilith) to discuss the world of Druidry, from its historical origins through to its modern practice today. We go over the social and political role of the Druids within ancient Celtic society, their views of the afterlife, human sacrifice, the path to druidry, and much more... as well as mentioning the organizations that have maintained the living tradition of druidry to the present.

Episode 49: Men's Rights Activism (with Sierra)

Monday, October 2, 2023 • Duration 01:33:28

Today I'm joined by Sierra to counterbalance our discussion of feminism from before and talk about Men's Rights Activists (MRAs). We try to give a (very) brief history of the movement, as well as going over some of the things we like and dislike about their positions, especially in relationship to marriage.

Episode 48: Physicality in a Digital Age (with Josh Tyler)

Thursday, September 14, 2023 • Duration 01:21:52

Today I'm joined by Josh Tyler for a wide-ranging conversation on physicality and the dangers of quantitative thinking. We take turns bashing power-lifters and philosophers and other unbalanced modes of thinking, in an attempt at something more balanced and higher quality in our experience of life.

Episode 47: Is Science Bad for your Health? (with Joe Peters)

Saturday, September 2, 2023 • Duration 01:58:24

Today I'm joined by Joe Peters to discuss the business side of the health industry and how that often-neglected logistics side influences science and healthcare. Ranging over sales experiences in hospitals and personal experiences with doctors and nurses and struggling with our own challenges, we try to get down to the question of how to be healthy people in an age where the financial and insurance requirements of the industry don't always permit them to prioritize the patient in the way that we might hope... and whether science is the problem or the solution to the challenges of bureacracy.

Episode 46: The Virtue of Manual Competence (with Ben Brower)

Friday, September 1, 2023 • Duration 01:34:55

Picking up on themes from Episode 42, I'm joined again by Ben Brower to delve deeper into the value of working with one's hands. We meander through our own experiences in the trades (while occasionally borrowing from the works of Robert Pirsig and Matthew Crawford) in an attempt to describe how making and fixing things changes how manual competence changes how we think, how we speak, even how we see... and also how other people see us.

Episode 45: Inside Bo Burnham (Remembering Lockdowns)

Wednesday, August 23, 2023 • Duration 23:48

Today we go back a few years to talk about Bo Burnham's production "Inside," a performance of himself, by himself, trapped inside during COVID lockdowns. We go over the psychology of the internet, of oversocialized leftism, of pandemic disgust associations, as well as the artistic merit of the production itself.

Episode 44: Language and Purpose - A Podcast Roundup (with Sierra)

Saturday, August 12, 2023 • Duration 01:20:55

Today we look back over a few of the more recent podcasts, slightly rehashing the drag discussion and the relation between the word "drag" and the behavior being described, along with digging back up Plato and the podcast about work to explore some of the themes a little bit further... with the aid of White Claw and a woman's weigh-in.
