I think Kanye West is legitimately, if you watch his documentary, the documentary that the three-parter that they did, his friend did. And it's just kind of a shame that like back in the day, somebody who lapsed into that sort of mental illness wouldn't have Twitter to like let everybody know how sick they were. But now I keep out banned from Instagram. We'll see if it gets banned from Twitter. You can say that. Disliking Jews more than is called for. When I say it,. I mean, you say like so much. Yeah. So we have Sam Harris on, hasn't been on since I think 2019. That was the last one
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.
