The movie is full of rectangles at like, it's just constantly, the screen is constantly full of all different rectangles and all of all different kinds. They had, you know, there was one scene where he actually was literally upside down and was supposed to eat the food. I don't know who, who told him like, put some more gelatin in the, in the food like it'll be stickier. So then they arrive at a state, a space that is not it. Is clavious the site or the station? I think clavious is the station that's they then go to the moon for it.
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.
