In this episode, we talk about Baudrillard, a notable French pervert. But did you know that he also wrote works of philosophy?

Why is Russia the whore of Europe? Is being a whore really all that bad? What would Dostoyevsky think about going to therapy? These questions and more, tactfully evaded in this episode of Eric Didn't do the Reading.

We're starting the year off right by talking about one of the freakiest little freaks world literature has yet to produce. In this episode, we discuss the first half of part 2 of Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground. We also fully litigate the unforgivable crime Eric committed in an IHOP in 2019.

Eric, Kevin, and James talk about prehistory and the article How to change the course of human history (at least, the part that’s already happened) by David Graeber and David Wengrow.
