There are cuts that actually surprise me more, which seem kind of discordant where we'll get there. But when Dave is going through the time time, whatever that is, it just there are cuts to stills of his face and he also did in clockwork orange with I think when Malcolm McDowell is getting, you know, de-conditioned or whatever. That had to be on purpose. Actually, there's a bunch of cuts. So the cuts to the falling tapers too are very Kubrick-esque. What's the adjective? Cooprician cuts because I was thinking of analogous cuts in clockworkorange that uses it. And then there's cut. After after yes
We welcome Sam Harris back to the show for a deep dive into Stanley Kubrick’s confounding 1968 masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey." How long is the Dawn of Man? What does the second monolith do exactly? Why are the humans so banal and expressionless? What are HAL’S motivations? Has he planned his mutiny from the start, or does the Council’s deception make him manlfunction? Or something else? Who is the Council anyway? Was HAL meant to go through the stargate? What is the final leap forward in consciousness? The hotel room, the starchild, all the rectangles, rectangles everywhere, the music – what does it all mean????
Plus Sam has some thoughts about our Rorty episode and David tries to rile Tamler up about Kanye’s antisemitism.
note: there's a bit of an abrupt transition between our brief opening and Sam telling a story about Rorty in around the 9 minute mark... couldn't be helped.
Special Guest: Sam Harris.
