Into the Absurd

In this episode, I analyze Mr. Robot through the lens of Nietzschean philosophy and Jungian psychology. Mr. Robot is probably one of my all time favorite shows, and there was much to think about in each and every episode. I highly recommend checking it out.

Kenny Roby is a musician, song writer, natural philosopher, and well-rounded human being. His songs create a soft sound reminiscent of bluegrass and outlaw country, speaking of addiction, suffering, healing, life, and personal growth. We discussed the theme of addiction, habits, and modern-day rituals after playing All Trains Lead to Cocaine, my personal favorite of Kenny's songs. You can find Kenny's music anywhere you listen to your tunes. Find the Spotify link here.

Michael Hayes and I discuss Ecclesiastes, a book from the Old Testament with many of the absurdist/existential underpinnings we echo in the modern day. Michael is a writer, short film director, community volunteer, teacher, father, band member, and all around a nice, thoughtful, and intelligent man. Below are some links you may be interested in.

A year in review along with some notes I wrote in my notebook. May the force be with you. Happy New Year!

At last, we've arrived at the final installment of my series on Camus's Nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus.⁠⁠⁠ Today, I will read the final chapter of The Myth of Sisyphus, and discuss it along with other points throughout the novel with the professor who introduced me to this in the first place: Jamal Lyksett.

An analysis of chapter 3 of Camus's Nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus⁠⁠. Here we delve into what absurd art and creation is and how to let go of that which you've created. How does the absurd artist deal with their art? What does it meant to create as an absurdist?

Kevin and I sit down to react to some movie trailers, discuss feminism in the modern day, strong female characters, the Book of Jobe, Mystique from X-Men and the importance of being yourself, and how to transcend past the idea that Buddhism is about "becoming nobody".

Ryan Bush is the author of Designing the Mind and his new upcoming book, Become Who You Are, which you can stay updated with its February release date at his website. We discussed psychitecture--the architecture of the mind--utilizing principles of Nietzsche and Maslow's philosophy and psychology.

We discuss Chapter 2 "The Absurd Man", Section 2, "Drama" of Camus' Nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus. Here, Camus explains why the actor is a prime example of who "the absurd man" is. The absurd man, much like the actor, lives many different lives--and all of them to the fullest. What the absurdist cannot unify, they multiply.
