What does it mean to be an individual, does the public exist, and why does Peter watch Person of Interest? These questions, and more, are answered in today’s Fundamentalists.

SEASON PREMIERE: For The Love of Pets (and a Belfast Announcement!)

For more information about alchemy, we do not recommend looking to the alchemists. Because who knows what they were talking about?! Please check out Jeffrey Raff's "Jung and the Alchemical Imagination," or James Hillman's "The Alchemy of Psychology," which is available in audio form on Spotify. 
If you wanna feel REALLY alchemized, head to http://patreon.com/thefundamentalists. It is one of the few Patreons where you get less for more.

You know how many alchemists died because they blew themselves up? It's higher than zero, I'll tell ya that.

What is Alchemy?

This episode of The Fundamentalists is brought to you by the death drive, and we absolutely kill it. I mean, we murder this episode. It is as if, on some deep level, this episode is itself a spiraling toward oblivion which, in and of itself, proves a... sorry, hang on, I'm typing this while driving. wfvvrr34 FUCVK

Death Drive is my favorite Ryan Gosling movie.

The Death Drive

In this episode, we discuss Freedom. Shoutout to our editor, Ryan Farroki, who managed to assemble this episode into a solid Frankenstein-style audio adventure after some technical mishaps!

Freedom is the ability to upload a podcast ANY TIME WE WANT.

Freedom

Privacy, freedom, solitude, what's that stuff all about? In this episode, we talk about privacy and what happens if you take an edible as an adult while at school. Pretty deep stuff.
