  • 0G142: Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and Afropessimism vs. Afrofuturism
    CONTENT WARNING: We're getting into some proper colonial racism this week. I picked a story that, to me, exemplifies Lovecraft in his racist glory. We use this to apply the post-colonial discussions from last week and then bring it all together to discuss afropessimism and afrofuturism.

  • 0G141: HBO's Lovecraft Country and Colonial Knowledge Production
    Ishtash fishtash ftaginash! With these names I bind you to the pod forever. Any time you're traveling you'll be drawn to listen to the podcast. Such is the power of my knowledge of naming and geography and stolen magic and whatnot. I got it from rewatching HBO's Lovecraft Country and you should too. We're talking Post-Colonialism and colonial knowledge production as a precursor to analyzing the dialogue between afropessimism and afrofuturism.

  • 0G139: Stranger in a Strange Land and Ethical Non-Monogamy Part 3
    And so it came to pass that the transcendent cult orgy was concluded and space Jesus announced that "it is finished" and everyone cleaned themselves up and continued with their lives, perhaps a bit changed by their brush with ethical non-monogamy. Perhaps they grokked the reality of their own and others sexualities a little bit more. If not, waiting will fill.

  • Aaron and Andrew Debate Stranger vs. Harsh Mistress

    Hi friends! In place of NASA in February Aaron had a farcical "debate" with Andrew of Opening Arguments on which is the better Heinlein book, Stranger in a Strange Land or The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Mostly an excuse to discuss books we love, but we hope you enjoy the back and forth and then take sides and fight endlessly about it online. Cheers!

  • 0G137: Stranger in a Strange Land and Tat Tvam Asi Part 1

    Join me pod-brothers as we grok in fulness one of the most significant anti-manifestos of all time, Stranger in a Strange Land. This book may not be everyone's water of life, but it's definitely one of mine. I hope we can all grow closer in shared understanding of its beauty and flaws. We begin with understanding Martian Mindfulness through the concept Tat Tvam Asi, "Thou art god".
