Ep 64: Context Collapse and the Death of the Freak

This is an audio version of an article recently posted to my substack. It features an analysis of our cultural moment unlike anything you see from the left, the right, or even from libertarians. This won’t be headed where expect it to. I don’t what to give too much away, but there will be talk of talented tubs of lard, Siamese twins, men on leashes, soaking, sabo the street artist, and how the mullet symbolizes a properly functioning society.

Ep 63: Uncle Ted’s Manifesto with Pete and Bird

I’m joined in studio by Pete Quinones and Bird to discuss the manifesto by Ted Kaczynski, aka The Unibomber. Published in The Washington Post on the insistence of Kaczynski, it ultimately led to his arrest. We talk about the Manifesto’s attacks on technology, American culture, and in particular Kaczynski’s critiques of liberalism. At the end we shift focus to discuss the moral necessity of moving to where you are more free.
