Transcribe →What is class consciousness?
Jan 20, 202501:14:12Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Peter Rollins and Elliott Morgan discuss the topic of class consciousness, and Pete explains a little about that pesky Marx guy who keeps cropping up in conversations. By explaining how contradiction is inherent within the system of capitalism, Rollins offers interesting insights into our current predicaments. And Elliott, never to be one-upped, just kinda sits there.

Sep 9, 202400:59:39Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we discuss the term "the ick," used to describe a sudden change of perspective in which the formerly positive is perceived as negative with few or zero intermediary stages.

Transcribe →Are You Only Where You're From?
Sep 1, 202401:11:46Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we discuss how place plays a pretty large role in who you become, how you think, and what you believe. In fact, is that all there is to it?

Dec 10, 202301:06:33Tap to summarizeFor more information about alchemy, we do not recommend looking to the alchemists. Because who knows what they were talking about?!
