Silo and Conspiracy

Welcome to the Apple TV Silo! Why are we trapped in this strange and artificially limited space? Why can't anyone learn about the before times or openly worry that we're not getting the full story? Why do we all accept this illusion of freedom while being kept in cages? I'm for sure talking about the plot of this show and not the current state of online prescription streaming. And We're fore sure talking about conspiracy theories and why talking about them makes us all sad if we do it right.

Gideon Pt 3 and Anti-Meritocratic Pedagogy

Part three of our trip to BONE TOWN! Time for all our hot space lesbians to come together and learn that teamwork makes the dream work. We're discussing anti-meritocractic pedagogy, but lets all be honest, you're here for the pool scene discourse.

Gideon Pt 2 and Meritocratic Pedagogy

Part two of space nun boogaloo! It's the first day of elite necromancer school and the mean girls are immortal litches who are THERE for the drama. Whatever your preferred gender performance arrangement for a love triangle, we got it. Also, a scathing critique current educational approaches and how they drive everyone to toxic burnout and conspicuous production. Also, very sexy soul draining. Sorry, philosophy, focus. Don't think about the pool scene in part three don't think about the pool scene in part three...

Helsreach and Grimdark Gamergate

In the grim dark future, there is only show notes. Are you MAN enough to pick up an absurd set of sentences and hold the line alongside literally overwrought walking metaphors? We're covering Helsreach, a fan made movie in the Warhammer 40k universe, and discussing both the philosophy of Grimdark and the interestingly related philosophy of Gamergate. We discuss why 40k is one of the last major holdouts in the Gamergate wars.  Helsreach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2WGE1L6WKs Grimdark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimdark#:~:text=Grimdark%20is%20a%20subgenre%20of,future%20there%20is%20only%20war.%22 Gamergate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_(harassment_campaign)#:~:text=Gamergate%20has%20been%20described%20as%20an%20expression%20of%20sexism%20and,threat%20to%20traditional%20video%20games.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy and Meaningful Needs pt. 2

Well, at last we've come to our not super long or honestly all that taxing journey. We asked some hard questions that we felt no obligation to answer. We banged some hot blacksmiths and blew off our obligations to play with the phytoplankton. If this isn't the good life, there probably isn't one. Enjoy Prayer for the Crown-Shy pt. 2 and consider what real need for meaning still exists.

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy and Anarcho-Primitivism pt.1

::pocket computer pings:: Greetings siblings! Your favorite It and They are coming back to town and we know what you need. WHOLESOMECORE! We got your quirky robit questions, your quaint little inlets, your wicked hot space blacksmiths. Oh yeah, and we got anarcho-primitivists trying to tell us exactly how much of anything to have. So pull up a cushion, grab your favorite tea, and learn to accept that a meaningless life is just as good as a meaningful one.

Dual and Flourishing in a Dehumanizing Society

What would you do if a slightly better version of you tried to steal your life, and you were legally allowed to fight them to the death? Can you tell yourself you wouldn't, you'd do something better? You'd let them kill you? Welcome to the world of Dual, where we're gonna talk about what it means to lead a good life in a dehumanizing society, or any society really! What do you owe to your future selves, your past selves? Anything? If you don't what does that mean for your ongoing projects of worth? All this plus crossbows, and content warning offscreen violence against a dog.
