Dave Neal returns to join Luxa for conversation about power, social change, conformity, and control viewed through the lens of Sociology. It’s meta-context galore!  But wait, there’s more: Shane Thomas stops in for an episode within the episode about implementing one’s personal code of ethics which includes a side of pokemancy. Also for your enjoyment are salty poetry snacks including an ode to the void written by Joy https://www.instagram.com/occulture_jammer/. There are also updates about The Green Mushroom Project, and an existentialist cuddle puddle ft. Nietzsche and Camus. To celebrate this day of 5’s, there will be a special musical interlude and some rhetoric related to facing one’s personal battles. Much Love.
