A podcast for the person that doesn't feel at home in modernity - call it Nietzsche practically applied to current events. Tyler and Joel engage in casual and entertaining, but mostly organized discussions based on the conclusions we've drawn from years of talking through philosophy, world events, and politics together. We're here to cut through petty politics and common morality, something you won't get many other places, and create a daily life applicable philosophy for the uncommon person while helping them make sense of the manufactured chaos.

Our failure to get it together and put out an episode over the past couple weeks has led to a build up of no longer current "current" events that we felt the need to address, including Eric Weinstein's recent appearance on Modern Wisdom. This week we put a bookmark in our as yet unfinished talk on finding fulfillment in struggle, and have a brief interlude to discuss the RFK endorsement of Trump, Zuckerberg's peace offering, and how these things relate to the socio-political flip we've been hitting on for half this season. We explore these ideas in the context of Weinstein's excellent analogy based on the Julie Andrews movie Victor/Victoria. We also switch out the witty banter intro for grandpa Joel career advice.
Weinstein's appearance on Modern Wisdom isn't necessarily prerequisite listening, as we give overviews of his ideas before discussing them, but you'll probably get more out of this episode if you listen to that podcast in full first.
