Why does it seem as if—no matter where you look—everything in western culture is fake, a mere facade of what it once was? The various speakers of the "Mere Simulacrity" conference take a decent stab at explaining what is actually going on beneath the surface. Speaker James Lindsay in particular absolutely nails it with his three-lecture explanation of something sinister that has been at work since the early days of the dawn of time.
Listen in as return guest Bradley Vazquez and I commentate on the general content of this conference' lectures.
