Minimalism, the art of cutting out all the "extra stuff" in life, has been taking the world by storm the past couple years from Scandinavian concepts like lagom and hygge all the way to the "Spark Joy" of Japan's Marie Kondo. In a world where being bombarded by information 24/7 is the norm, what role does minimalism play?

Back by popular demand are the convo cards! (Based on a sample population consisting of Cody and Laz). This week Cody and Laz do some long not-done improv with questions you’d ask at a kid’s dinner party. Laz also reads an excerpt from his debut AI romance novel. It’s bound to make you feel the love AND things bestial. 

The word of the eventual take over of AI is spreading more and more rapidly, like a modern plague seizing the imaginations of global figures such as Elon Musk. Things that once were solely done by humans now are being done by robot-kind, and being done better for that. Even things like musical composition, coding, and medical diagnosis will eventually be put into the cold, metallic hands of the machines. Once we get there, how should humanity go forward?

It’s the anime that you, me, and everyone else in the 90’s grew up with, and it holds a dear place in our hearts. We told our parents to skip the allowance and give us booster packs instead. We screamed at our parents to take us to see every movie that came to a theater near us. We could sing that theme song that seemed blessed by the heavens themselves word for word. Yeah. But did you know how different the American version was from the original Japanese one? Listen to this weeks podcast for more!
