Today I'm joined by one of the two or three greatest podcasters in the world, Darryl Cooper of The Martyrmade Podcast. We recorded this episode a few days after the tragic and horrific Uvalde mass shooting, and we spend the first half discussing the psychology and archetypical significance of the spree shooter.

In part two we discuss Oswald Spengler and Cormac McCarthy, particularly Spenglers concept of the Caesar figure and McCarthys book The Road. And as usual, of course, we pepper Nietzsche throughout.
