This chapter delves into the philosophical concept of truth and its relationship to lies. The speakers discuss how truth is haunted by impossibility and how it is always generative, saying more than what is intended. They also touch on the complexities of ideology and how it presents truth in a way that seems like a lie.
This week, the fellas are back discussing Alenka Zupančič's Problemi essay, 'Lying on the Couch'. How does the psychoanalytic framework allow us to make sense of culture and lying, what is the asymmetry of a truth and a lie, and what did we think of the new Beatles song? Mike is hot (again), Will has moved (again), and Peter kind of liked Killers of the Flower Moon. Enjoy!
