We just can't. Here we talk about the inadequacy of consent as the sole metric of ethical sex, what objectification really is and what its opposite might look like, and more.

Rosemary interviews Catholic author Emily Stimpson Chapman, mostly about her most recent book "Letters to Myself From the End of the World," but also about loving books, Catholic faith writ large, why empathy is so controversial, how to wait well, and, perhaps most importantly . . . gin martinis.

Welcome to Season 2!
Kicking things off a bit low-key, with Micah and Rosemary discussing Ross Douthat’s book “Decadent Society.” The full round table will be back soon, and in the meantime the two of us had a great time talking through the ideas in Douthat’s recent book.

What are the dangers of technology, and is AI likely to cause a dystopian future?
Or is the problem our own view of technology, not technology itself?
You decide! We are discussing this Atlantic article: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/10/yuval-noah-harari-technology-tyranny/568330/
No, I do not have the screencap of Adria's very sophisticated graph....

The continuation of our conversation on the Lamb's War. We make it more personal, talking about the Lamb's War in our lives, including about forgiveness: how to forgive, and what forgiveness is.

Adria and Rosemary sit down to talk about the Lamb's War. What is "The Lamb's War," and how does one fight in it? Why do we have to have a war at all? Is evil even real?
All this and more!

As it says on the tin. Apologies: one of our squad has quite the cold (I shall withold their name to protect the guilty) and I didn't realize how imperfectly I'd edited out all the GSK-style heavy breathing until I'd already flattened the audio. Mea culpa! It's worst towards the beginning so if you can soldier through, it will improve.
Right off the bat, we dive into the nuts and bolts of the verdict itself (also, Adria gives the 10,000 foot overview of the case for anyone who has been living under a rock for the last year). Then...
Brandon shares a nice reflection on constitutionalism and the rule of law.
Rosemary goes on a bit of a rant regarding the "this isn't justice; this is accountability" meme (spoiler: she hates it).
We ask what justice is, anyway, and how do we get there? Do the ends ever justify the means? (Trick question.)
To what extent is police brutality driven by racism vs classism vs other factors, and to what extent do these distinctions matter?
Micah takes a moment to rant against social media (and plug for Esperanto...)
When we say "the system," what do we actually mean? What function does this vague language serve? How is racial justice like chastity? Have YOU ever had sex with a panda in a moving car?
....and so much more.

Does the right-wing purity culture of the 80s and 90s have anything to teach us about similar purity movements today?
We springboard from this David French piece on purity culture https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/why-the-atlanta-massacre-triggered and, as usual, go our own way from there.

My "guest" for this second of our book review series isn't actually a guest at all; it's our very own Brandon.
We discuss Alan Jacobs' book "How To Think"...at some length, too!
"How To Think": https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/551280/how-to-think-by-alan-jacobs/
Alan Jacobs' blog, "Snakes and Ladders": https://blog.ayjay.org
What is "lived experience" and how is it different from plain old "experience"? Two somewhat critical perspectives (Brandon cannot be held responsible for these; I couldn't find the article he referenced when it came time for show notes, so I had to 'do a google,' as Micah says.)

John Oliver vs Tucker Carlson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMGxxRRtmHc
"Cruelty is Apostasy," by David French: https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/cruelty-is-apostasy (maybe the best article I have read all year; cannot recommend strongly enough)
"The Weight of Glory," the original source for discussion on 'Inner Ringery': https://www.cslewis.com/us/books/format/weight-of-glory/9780061950285/
