August 23, 2020Episode 29: It is good to Exist
Existing is no longer considered good in and of itself. We talk about why we think that's the case, why we think it shouldn't be the case, and why it is pertinent to us. In the second half of the episode the topic really shifts to existing when its not fun, i.e. unmediated silence.

August 03, 2020 Bonus Episode #1
So, we haven't finished our episode for the week yet due to our severe inability to plan ahead. In the meantime, here's some banter from episode 25 that was originally cut but I thought it was pretty cool. I didn't cut anything out of the clip though, not even when Trevor's audio cut out. We will have a full episode up in the next few days.
