Double Dickin': The Metaphysical World of Philip K....

Studious ·

2023/04/26

We continue with our deep dive on Dick's How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart 2 Days Later here on part 2. We ended the last part on a bit of a cliffhanger. Truth, or someone's perception of truth here, seems stranger than fiction, and it is coming from a serial fiction writer. It's only fair to have all the facts at your disposal. Curious indeed. Let me know in the comments section what you thought of his speech, and perhaps its relation to what you've listened to thus far on Studious

Double Dickin': The Metaphysical Reality of Philip K....

2023/04/19

Greetings one and all, and from PK, it's greetings from Disneyland. I myself used to live Magic Kingdom adjacent in nearby Costa Mesa. Today, we begin our exploration of PK's speech, How to Build a Universe that Doesn't Fall Apart 2 Days Later. It is eerily precogniscent, precogniscant(?) of our current state of affairs, and seemingly it has informed these first few episodes of the podcast. We will explore it to great depths like a spastic spelunker. Forewarning: I am merely attempting

Representations of Evil, Part III: Post-Modern Evil

Studious ·

2023/04/13

OMG, this is like, soooooo post-modern. We talk about American Psycho and Blue Velvet, but probably not at any great length for you super-fans of the two. We glean Post-Modern Evil through the lens of our current zeitgeist and our relation to the concept of evil through media, and thusly, our relation to evil in our own lives. What is evil anyway? Who gets to draw these lines of distinction for us? Are we capable of doing so for ourselves? If so, what can we all agree upon aside from the usual

Representations of Evil 2: The Easter Existential...

Studious ·

2023/04/09

To the listener, this doesn't really have to do with Easter at all, but Christ did die for your evil ways if that helps you relate it to our topic this week. No eggs were harmed in the making of this podcast, unless of course you count the Popeye's chicken I consumed before editing this just now, in which case I'm most sure that they had to bread that chicken somehow. Did I say, I edited this? I meant my crack team of engineers.

So Bad, it's Good: Metaphysical and Post-Metaphysical...

Studious ·

2023/03/29

Are you looking to absolve some of that old Catholic guilt bothering you? If so, do it elsewhere. Here we explore the notion of evil through the lens of the metaphysical. What does evil mean in relation to the Judeo-Christian tradition? We'll tackle that looking at The Book of Job, as well as seeing how evil translates after Nietzsche proclaims, "God is Dead," through the work of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Sorry, but this episode isn't going to be as homoerotic as the vampire tales you grew up with. But

Ain't Nuthin' Free... and Your Will Ain't Either...

Studious ·

2023/03/22

Life's hard. Sometimes it's hard to determine. Sometimes, it's due to hard determinism. We all want to make the right choices in life, but are we really capable of making any genuine choices? I mean, we're all the captains of our own ships here. We are the ones in control. Right!?! Please tell me, I'm right. Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away.

So Simple, a Caveman Could Illustrate it.

Studious ·

2023/03/22

Today on Studious, we are gonna harken back to the old school... of rational thought. I used to bristle against the teachings of Plato, but maybe I've actually convinced myself here that there's merit to his musings; particularly in his teachings about the Allegory of the Cave. I probably was so worked over by this allegory, that I was Plato in his hands...

Mimetic Theory and Scaping 'em Goats

Studious ·

2023/02/06

We touch very briefly on Rene Girard's Mimetic Theory in this episode. We could probably explore more about how this concept affects us in every day life, and especially in conjunction with cancel culture, social media, and politics. In the least, I hope this encourages you to learn more about Girard and the polymath that he was.

Setting Sail on the Ship of Theseus (REMASTERED)

Studious ·

2023/01/24

In this episode, we explore the thought experiment, The Ship of Theseus. What is it, exactly? Why should we care? It has more ramifications than you previously thought. Like the Ship of Theseus, this episode isn't the same one as when it was first incepted. Inceptiones? Nothing is impervious to change, even this podcast.
