Daniel Tutt, co-host of the Jouissance Vampires podcast, discusses the politics of the family and the decline of the nuclear family. The episode explores topics such as the rise of the social super ego, class dynamics, communal living, student debt, Nietzsche's philosophy, and personal reflections on aging.

The hosts discuss Marx's legacy as a philosopher and the practical effects of theory. They explore the scientific value of literature and representation, and the differences between Hegel's and Marx's dialectics. They also delve into the evolution of singing, desire, and motion, with a brief mention of Thomas Nail's critique.

Coop & Tay discuss Marx's analysis of differences between Democritus and Epicurus, including atomistic theories, time, free will, quantum entanglement, philosophy and science, eternal nature of atoms, quasi cause, and comparison of Hume and Epicurus

Jean Baudrillard, a French philosopher and sociologist, joins Cooper Cherry, Taylor Adkins, Cute Noumena, and Young Agamben to discuss his book 'The Spirit of Terrorism.' They explore topics such as the shift in terrorist tactics, the role of mass media in amplifying terrorism, the CIA's complicity in breeding terrorists, the connection between the master-slave dialectic and terrorism, the significance of death as freedom, the weakness of Western liberalism, the rise of irony and cynicism after 9/11, and the timing of significant events like 9/11 and the launch of Facebook.

Coop & Taylor perform a very unorthodox analysis of Louis Althursser's famous Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses essay as it pertains to desire, desiring production, the dialectic, the unconscious and what's at stake.
