James Carville: It's easy to get caught up in what everyone else needs. He asks how much time do you spend on yourself and how much of it is for other people? The author also talks about why he thinks Donald Trump calls Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas. And they talk about the meaning of texts.
What’s the meaning of a work of art? Does the text mean just what the author intends it to mean? Does it matter what Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark thinks about the end of 2001? Or is the artist’s interpretation just one interpretation among many once the text is out in the world? We explore the question of authorial intent, and brace yourselves - this is just about as postmodern as David gets.
Plus – do we have what it takes to get an invite to the thought criminals club?
