Philosophy? WTF??

This week we ask the question, “what do we bring to the party?” If Danny brings bottles of beer does he simply bring the shape, weight and the number of bottles and then leaves me to do all the heavy lifting adding the perception of colour, flavour, smell and taste? Does John Locke allow us to have our objective cake and eat it? Do we get excited when we begin to understand how systems work and connect or would we rather be told without having to know how? Who were the podcasters of the Enlightenment? All of this and that popular empiricist sensation 'The 5 Senses’ at the start of their major European tour. Sign up now and show how hip you are. Also, as an added bonus for our Facebook followers, weep for joy as long lost footage of Danny and Mike in their first starring role on the small screen is rediscovered, restored and transmitted directly to your senses of both sound and vision for your unbounded joy. Kindness is still alive in this tired old world.

This week Danny and Mike confront the fearful menace of ... THE MONADS! Flee in stark unreasoning fear as Leibniz directs his monad army to isolate us from all we hold dear! Shiver in bone chilling terror as you are forced to join the monad legions with only coincidence for a friend. Giggle in solipsitic madness as they appear to be coming for you. YOU'RE NEXT!

This week Danny and Mike move a grain of sand and change the world, do they create an alternate reality or just a very small sand-pit? Join us as we play the game "stick the name god on things in the sky”. Is Mike justified in his one man genocidal mission to eradicate the moths that are eating their way through his coat? Who is Billy the moth??? How does Danny know him??? Is Spinoza telling us that whatever we do is essentially god doing it to him self? Stick with it folks, these are the times that try our souls.

This week Danny and Mike look at each other and ask the question “Is that the face of god?” As the sun continues to shine we take a walk along the beach with William Paley and go looking for accidental watches amongst the rock pools. Do the gods post messages to us and send us pictures of their cats and what they had for lunch or have they unfriended us? Is there a rational to the universe and are we part of it? All this and an unscheduled sneeze totally free with this weeks episode. Don’t say we never give you anything.

This week, the 'boys' of post Cartesian rationalism are back in town! Watch with envy as the cool kids, Spinoza and Leibniz, click their way menacingly down the main street of Western Enlightenment pushing the clergy off the pavement. Listen, or don’t listen, it doesn’t much matter it’s all the same either way, as you, yes you! are awarded the title of “A bit of god” (Pantheism is an equal opportunities employer). Does this make you feel good? Does pantheism (everything is god) answer the problems of monotheism (god is an old man in the sky) but is it less fun than polytheism (god is a flock of parrots in the sky)? Remember you are me and they are you and we are all together - resistance is futile guys, just go with it.

This week join Mike and Danny as the wander through the Cartesian garden. Sniff the delightful fragrance of the ontological orchid, walk bare foot through the foliage of certainty while delving into the compost of epistemological doubt. All this and sentient bombs are yours for the mere cost of admission. Oh yes and we mention Harley for no extra cost.

This week, who knows? Perhaps we will lie to you, perhaps we will tell you the truth and you will not hear it properly. It could be that Danny and Mike are evil beings messing with your sense of reality - who can tell? Ultimately you just have to trust us, right? I mean, why would we lie to you?…unless we are voices in your head and you are lying to yourselves, but that would be crazy, right? Maybe you are crazy? Of course it could be that WE are crazy and you are messing with us! Whatever you do, keep thinking, never stop thinking if you do then we may all…
