In Fool View

Two men desperately try to understand Jane Austen's Emma... and ultimately fail. Enjoy the ride as it slowly crashes. 

Recorded on February 21st, 2021.

We talk about Rush Limbaugh, the winter storm that hit Texas, the general lack of kindness in society and Teddy Cruz's bad looks. 

We discuss The Daily Wire's attempt to get a corner of the Hollywood market, multiple instances of social cancellation, maybe too much Star Wars, and the fate of morality as we know it. 

Is world peace an illusion? Tune in to listen to a couple of "Low Energy" Jebs try to answer the ole question. Enjoy. 

We do a deep dive into the world of Oceania and discuss George Orwell's 1984. We cover the merit of the book itself, the many ideas presented within it, and it's relevance in today's world. 

*I apologize for the audio quality in portions of this episode as we had some connection issues while recording. I hope you are willing to suffer through some of the static and enjoy an otherwise solid conversation. 

A discussion of James Clear's "Atomic Habits" as well as other topics that relate to the "self-help" genre, with passing references to Robert Greene, Instafluencers, pick-up artists, and Jordan Peterson. Another entry they may need to be revisited at some point down the road. 

The talk of the week ranged from a discussion of Ta-Nehisi Coates's "Between the World and Me," a very smooth transition into a conversation about the cult of personality, as we struggled to make a connection between Elizabeth Holmes and Donald Trump, the riots at the Capitol Building, and then we finished off with a fine chat about the divisive nature of contemporary media. Enjoy. 

We talk about Fredrik deBoer's book "The Cult of Smart" and the broader state of education in America. We barely scratched the surface in the allotted time, but this is a topic we are sure to return to. So, consider this perhaps volume one of our "Musings on Education." 

The inaugural episode. A rough and rambling conversation about conversations. We discuss what we hope to accomplish with this podcast and dip our toes into the pool of potential topics of discussion.

First time at most of this, so I hope to refine the format and technical aspects of the podcast as time marches on.
