Listen Later

Hot takes to the Žižek-Peterson debate! In a sprawling conversation which spans vast expanses of the world we live in today, the Multiversity discusses the dynamics of the debate, try to figure out what Žižek is saying, compare communism and capitalism, and much more. This episode features a special guest star, Dan Sullivan.

Join us as we explore Dostoevsky's garden of earthly paradise, the commodification of culture, whether Žižek is a hipster, whether socialism might save the environment, and if Eastern philosophy can be used as the ultimate weapon of war.
