The Labyrinth: critical theory, culture, and politics

The recent news story about Facebook banning people such as Alex Jones and Laura Loomer had my mind working about a topic I don't like talking about—free speech. As in it's talked about so often that it becomes tiring. So I decided to contradict myself in this one and do it anyway. In this one, I discuss free speech, John Stuart Mill "On Liberty" and understanding the distinction between free speech and an audience. Tune in!Side note, my next episode will be a philosophical film analysis!

So Ben Shapiro did one of his Prager U video based on his book. The video happens to cover more of the history side of things(which I missed in my review episode), so I thought it would be some fun new content to include. Plus, you receive his actual wording and voice to connect with my responses! As always, thanks for listening.

I tackle a new podcast episode format in this one, taking on some Prager U content! I guess Dennis Prager thinks you can't justify not murdering without God. In that case, I hope he continues believing in God for our safety. Anyway, I deconstruct his arguments for objective morality based on God. I also address his misunderstanding of the English language.

Jordan Peele has done it again in this one. The creator of Get Out has made a great film full of deeper meanings and thoughtful symbolism. I take a look at his recent film 'Us' that has been all the rage. How does the film force us to examine not only ourselves but society itself? Tune in!

Ohhh I cover some horrendous argumentation in this one. Does God's Not Dead prove the existence of God? No. The God's Not Dead film pretends to argue for the existence of God honestly...I explain why that is definitely not the case. Let's talk some philosophy, tune in!

Hmmm, I give off a little bit of my opinion in this one. Just went down the rabbit hole. I'm posting because I want all your thoughts. How good are we? When I hear this question, I want my gut reaction to be yes, of course, we are good! But the thinking side of me starts to take over, ‘but is this the case?’Thanks for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review!Support the Podcast and Gain Full Access: https://www.patreon.com/thephilosophyguyYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvqYKgKlEBRf4658pc8NeTwTwitter: https://twitter.com/brendenweber_Amazon Banner link: https://amzn.to/2Hf7lsJEmail: [email protected] tip jar: @brenden-weberYou can also support me by clapping my Medium posts: https://medium.com/@brendenweberWebsite: https://thephilosophyguy.fireside.fm/A Philosopher's Stone Newsletter + Book List: https://mailchi.mp/b747e897b383/aphilosophersstoneA Philosopher's Stone Publication: https://medium.com/the-philosophers-stone

I talk some Spider-Man in this one friends! More so focussing on the new one, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Anyway, how does this film connect with the audience? It connects with everyone, that's the point. But what does this connection do for our lives? What does it force us to examine?
