And are there better ways to particpiate to the betterment of society? We'll try and figure it out in this video on the philosophy and ethics of voting (and not voting.)
There is a new wave of right-wing philosophers and theologians advocating for things like turning American into a non-democratic corporate monarchy ruled by a CEO, or merging the state into the Church and replacing our legal system with the Ten Commandments. And the scariest part is that these thinkers have the ear of people like vice presidential nominee JD Vance, and Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel. We’ll explore it in this video on Curtis Yarvin, Christian Nationalism, and the End of Democracy.

Why Are We So Weird About Celebrities?
The recent backlash against Chappell Roan raised the question of what we're allowed to expect from celebrities, and what celebrities should expect from their fans. In this video we'll look at what we're actually doing when we demand the attention of celebrities, and how the culture around celebrity is teaching us to treat other humans like commodities.

Why America Offers Freedom and Justice . . . for Some.
When presidential candidate Kamala Harris addressed the Democratic National Convention, she evoked a powerful national mythology, one in which all Americans stand together as one people. But behind the sunny imagery, is there a more sinister reality? Let’s explore what’s really going on when politicians evoke “the American people,” and see what happens to those unlucky enough not to belong to that pretty picture.

The Boys Season Four: Is Satire Dead?
The initial reaction to season four of The Boys was extreme, with some fans claiming that the show had gone “woke.” But does this miss the point of what the show is actually doing? And is there room left to create political satire when our political reality is becoming more and more like fiction? Let’s figure it out in this video on The Boys season four.
Two modern geniuses sit down for a long conversation. We're going to see what happens when Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk come together for an all out intellectual orgy.

The Weird Politics of Homeschooling
While homeschooling has been around for a while, it’s recently taken a decidedly political turn. More and more parents are keeping their kids home to protect them from the supposedly woke agenda of public schools. But how did homeschooling go from a counter-cultural movement to a conservative one? And what can this trend tell us about the larger push for privatization? We’ll explore in this video on Homeschooling and The Future of America.
We'll talk about what's going on, try and make sense of it, do some philosophy, have some laughs, and find some solidarity in our collective exhaustion.
