  • 196: To-Do List Without Doing [Tao Te Ching Ch.37]

    Life is a proverbial scavenger hunt! It is happening whether we choose to participate or not, but through the Tao, we accomplish all of our tasks without doing anything at all! While checking off their to-do list, Bartleby and Artemus discover the joy of multitasking with silliness in a very productive episode of Meta-Cosmos!

    …Hosted by Bartleby and Artemus Neehi.

    …Produced by Isaac Bluefoot.

  • 195: Shrink and Grow and Shrink and Grow [Tao Te Ching Ch.36]

    It turns out, life seeks to shrink as much as it seeks to grow, but it would never admit to it. Bartleby and Artemus dip their little sock toes into the subject, but only just get started in a very short episode of Meta-Cosmos!

  • 194: Tastes Like Nothing At All [Tao Te Ching Ch.35]

    Giving in to the Tao and moving with it is nothing to brag about. In practice, it might appear boring, like the kind of boring that leads Bartleby to finally keep an episode short for once. It's a refreshing draught of wisdom in another best episode yet of Meta-Cosmos!

  • 193: Empathy Crisis {Tao Te Ching Ch.34]

    What happens when a nation cuts its food supply chain to spite its face? Unfortunately, we might just find out. Thankfully, the Tao Te Ching offers some basic self-awareness principles to help us cope in another concise episode of Meta-Cosmos

  • 192: When the Center Is Not the Middle [Tao Te Ching Ch.33]

    What is the difference between the center and the middle, and how do centrists enable fascism? Maintaining the status quo to keep us on the precipice of disaster, centrists are far from walking the Buddha's Middle Path. Flowing with the Tao, it's another inspiring episode of Meta-Cosmos!

  • 191: Provisional Reality [Tao Te Ching Ch.32]

    Talking about the Tao, Bartleby and Artemus touch on the transitory nature of reality. By stepping back and reading between the lines, they realize that all the institutions and the words used to describe them are all temporary. With an extra bit of Doylist Dread and Watsonian Desire, they pull together another episode of ever-dawning lucidity on Meta-Cosmos!

  • 190: The Boobiest of Boobytraps [Tao Te Ching Ch.31]

    Banned from his usual hijinks, Bartleby brings their RPG adventure to new heights, allowing Artemus to showcase how motion pictures desensitize us to violence. The whole adventure makes a perfect example of Lao Tzu's 31st chapter. It's two parts wisdom and one part nonsense in another mystifying episode of Meta-Cosmos!

  • 189: The Wayside of the Way [Tao Te Ching Ch.30]

    Are we a part of the Tao or aren't we? Bartleby and Artemus try to figure out where the line is between what is in flow with the universe and whether it's even possible for something to go against the flow. The answer isn't so clear, but the way to get there is worth taking in another thoughtful episode of Meta-Cosmos!

  • 188: The People's Ice Cream [Tao Te Ching Ch.29]

    Talking about the definition of weaksauce, we examine moderate politics and its penchant against progressive ideals. It's all about the chocolate, in this false dichotomy with vanilla, where we learn that not all allegories are created equal. Bartleby gives us the ice cream the people crave, in another metaphorical episode of Meta-Cosmos!

  • 187: Where Did the Magic Go? [Tao Te Ching Ch.28]

    From Middle-Earth to Avalon, access to magic is ever on decline, but what are the alternatives? Examining fantasy literature and humanity's relationship to magic, our favorite pair of socks look for answers in science fiction, but find there's something magical about realism. It's another best episode with minor spoilers yet of Meta-Cosmos!
