The Pill Pod is still off this week for mental recuperation, so please enjoy this unlock of one of our locked episodes: our fourfold discussion of Heidegger's Being and Time, his relationship to Husserl, existentialism, hermeneutics, and everything else concerning early Heidegger we could channel into being in fewer than 90 minutes.   For more good theory video and audio content, join the Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills

A discussion on Nietzsche's influence on philosophy and popular culture, his appeal to young readers, his relationship with Lou Salome and his declining health. The podcast also explores Nietzsche's Freudian insight, slave morality, his critique of Hegelianism, and his impact on multiple fields such as sociology and psychology. It delves into Nietzsche's perspectives on hierarchies, inequality, cancel culture, and his relevance in today's society.

Academics discuss critiques of Zizek, shift in focus to new adversaries, essence of philosophy, love & imperfection, challenging perspectives on nature and love, building tangible political systems, contrasting academic seriousness with action focus

Today we discuss the pervasive pastiche and corny conservatism of all our favourite nerd culture products (but not Star Wars 'cause it sucks ass). Find the full episode and our other content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills

Join us for a relaxed topical episode discussing some of our local news, as well as the shifting place of "News" in the new media ecology, including its phenomenological effects on the embodied mind. We drop some Benjamin, McLuhan, and Merleau-Ponty, but this really serves as our collective detox of the last month or so. Chill vibes.
