From its iconic appearance as the first card in the Tarot’s Major Arcana to the many foolish characters we find in fiction and mythology, the Fool is much more than a mere idiot. Rather, the Fool signifies our willingness to step out into the void, take on risky adventures, and enter the chaotic tumult of this world. By seeing through systems of power and approaching life with a sometimes child-like simplicity, the Fool has long served as a check on authoritarian abuse, with jesters possessing the rare privilege of being allowed to mock and question the king, an energy we could use a little more of these days.

This lecture was recorded live at MaybeItsFate in Louisville, KY on April Fool's Day 2025.
