0G127: Anathem and Foucault, Part 4

Just when you thought we were done with Anathem, get ready for some shameless fanservice/host indulgence. Really though, adding this to our earlier coverage of Anathem feels like the completing of a personal project of worth. Hope it does something for anyone else too!

0G126: Parable of the Talents and Positive Obsession, Part 3

And so we reach another end, which is really just one kind of change. Hopefully some of you will find some value in our analysis of the Book of the Living and these ideas of positive obsession and kindness through change.

0G125: Parable of the Talents and Process Philosophy/Theology, Part 2

God, and I cannot stress this enough, is Change. Shape, please please please shape God. In honor of Butler's original artistic vision, this material will be forever attached to the 2020 presidential election. We'll try to talk about process philosophy and process theology as well, but I hope we all get what this about. Good luck out there. Stay safe and sane.

0G124: Parable of the Talents and Critical Race Theory, Part 1

Election season is upon us! Will we end up with the needlessly rapey "Make America Great Again" demagogue? How many people of color will experience some form of genocide? Will the Pox ever end? While we wait to see, we start our coverage with the background from Parable of the Sower, the first book in the series that is recapped at the start of Parable of the Talents. We provide a crash course on Critical Race Theory, which we'll unpack further over the next few episodes alongside the other philosophy. Keep breathing, we'll get through this.

0G122: Robocop and AI Police

Finally, a break from all the depressing social commentary for a lighthearted 80's romp through scenic Detroit. This movie has so much 80's it's legally the equivalent of doing coke off a sex worker. We discuss the less heavily covered topic of replacing police offices with robots, and do our best to try to pretend like this isn't a solved question. Don't forget to start reading Parable of the Talents for election coverage 2020!
