    Some interesting content but to much leftist apologist hand wringing. Can’t listen to it without being annoyed by the blowhard and frequently turning it off.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Logging Off, Opting Out, and Not Texting Back: The Ethics of Non-Response with Jana Bacevic
Q: Could you explain the free nose guy and how it crystallizes the tension between epistemic self-reliance and trust in experts?
The free nose guy shows how people acknowledge protections in principle but act inconsistently in practice, exposing the gap between knowledge and moral action; it reveals how epistemic egalitarianism and autonomy can be stretched or violated in real-world behavior.
Prog Rock, Politics, and the Pathos of Distance: Is Progressive Music Elitist or Revolutionary?
Q: How has the perception of prog changed from the era of its peak to today, especially regarding accessibility and mainstream acceptance?
The guests reflect on a shift from a stigma of elitism to broader acceptance, aided by technology and home recording, while acknowledging ongoing debates about whether prog remains esoteric or can appeal to a wider audience.
Prog Rock, Politics, and the Pathos of Distance: Is Progressive Music Elitist or Revolutionary?
Q: What about the political dimensions? How did the politics of prog manifest in lyrics and in the scenes around its creation?
Dave and the hosts discuss how prog intersected with leftist, anti-authoritarian, and sometimes aristocratic aesthetics, with debates over elitism, the politics of individualism, and how bands engaged with social issues through metaphor, narrative, and references to philosophy.
Prog Rock, Politics, and the Pathos of Distance: Is Progressive Music Elitist or Revolutionary?
Q: So I thought we could start by having you give a brief introduction to the genre of prog and its defining characteristics.
Dave explains prog as a late-60s to early-70s movement that fused rock with European classical influences, longer forms, and virtuosic playing, shaping a genre known for its complexity, theatrics, and a willingness to experiment beyond standard rock formats.
Deleuze, Drugs, and Death: Psychedelic Thanatology at the End of Life
Q: If you were in hospice, would you undergo one of these experiences?
Sujit reflects on personal and ethical considerations, noting the balance between potential existential relief and the risks of exacerbating mental health vulnerabilities, while acknowledging the intense, individual nature of end-of-life decisions.
