Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#105 - Perception and LanguageLugwig Van Wittgenstein wrote Tactatus Logico Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations centred around a central question: Is language a competent tool to compare expereinces of reality to the end of demystifying it. This episode talks about foundational language in learning psychology, the growth of children in terms of cognitive abilities and how that relates to an operative person cognitively conveying intention. We look at the barrier of language resulting in a sea of context, that causes for Witgenstein's "language game" to have implications in real life governance, and legal procedure. Recommended reading: Tractatus Logico Philosophicus, Ludwig Wittgenstein 2022-07-1945 min

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#104 - BlasphemyBlasphemy, according to a quick google search is "Actions or speech that is done in irreverence or dismissal of God". To no one's surprise there are laws in place even today in more than a comfortable number of countries to punish blasphemy as a crime. In this episode, we briefly discuss the origin of this phenomenon, and see why is it that the state chooses to use it's monopoly of violence over speech and literature against God. In continuation of the discussion, we discuss the rationale given by the Supreme Court of India, as the justification for the constitutional...2021-12-2343 min

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#103 - LawThis episode of deep-fried neurons deals with the societal concept of Law and its placement at the center of society as a guide to the operating checkpoint of autonomy. In this episode, we discuss the necessity of law and how the law came to be in human civilization, Along with which, we also focus on how once the law was changed from the command of the sovereign; it would become a collective human sanction in favor of truth, the moral good and reason. We also discover the philosophical arguments advanced that suggest this pursuit is cloaked by a will t...2021-06-3051 min

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#102 - Money (ft. Dheeraj Shah)This episode deals with the logistical solutions that human society had to come up with to effectively share resources and quantify value: money. In this episode, after understanding the anthropological necessity for money, we understand how the transference of money evolved. Dheeraj Shah helps me understand why currency or money was agreed upon to be rare metals like gold, and then how and why we shifted to cash transactions equivalent to gold, and finally how money came to have its own value and generated through our current debt systems. Dheeraj Specifically helps us with understanding what Decentralised Finance is...2021-05-311h 04

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#101 - RebellionThis episode discusses the philosophical history of rebellion from the age of enlightenment to the contemporary times in a literary review for 'the rebel' by Albert Camus and Animal Farm by George Orwell. The object of the episode is to understand what is rebellion, and what is it that causes rebellion to be meaningful or desirable to society. We discuss egocentrism, profiteering, and messianism along with desperation leading means to be justified by the ends of rebellion as demerits of this political occurrence, and how deeply cultural or societal the phenomenon of rebellion really is. Books reviewed...2021-04-071h 04

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#98 - ConformityIn the eternal words of the backstreet boys, the primary question that prompts in my head every time i do something is "Tell me why?". Individual behavior in tandem with society is an extremely overlooked but equally interesting field of study, and I think it says a lot about the way our political realities unfold or even how our personal relationships shape themselves. One of the things we do to lubricate our presence in society in general is conform with the norm of our environment, and today we mostly explore "why?"

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#97 - Retrofuturism and CyberpunkWith the release of Cyberpunk 2077 less than a week away and either full commitment or full disillusionment of people with the game, I thought it was a great opportunity to talk about a hyper-specific aesthetic in film and art - retrofuturism. Retrofuturism represents aesthetically exactly what it sounds too, a representation of the future in the past. This means the future as shown in artistic representation will be limited only by the technology of its time, but not by imagination. We also discuss cyberpunk, an aesthetic that has been consistently allied with anxiety about future societies - that represents...2020-11-2920 min

State Of Maharashtra (AIR 1962 SC 605) was a case from the 1960s Bombay, a time of walking out of the colonial identity for the city, and a murder trial unfolded in the quiet neighbourhood of the Mumbai locals.

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#95 - The Uses and Abuses of HistoryThis episode is an imaginary argument I had with a person who I couldn't tell the importance of history in an argument in a rather jarring cab ride to a concert. This episode we talk about Friedrich Nietzsche's essay from the book Untimely meditations, that talks about how history should be looked at. How history should be learning in problem-solving, and we understand lessons from the law in it. We also discuss understanding missteps in history, and how accommodating them in our perspective is important. Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/deepfriedneurons F...2020-11-0418 min

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#92 - Akkarmashi (Outcaste) and Caste Based ViolenceFor this episode, we revisit the first piece of Dalit literature that established the aesthetic to understand most dalit writings of contemporary times. We talk about how violence against lower caste women is a constant and recurring theme in our country and is perpetuated by the existence of caste identities and customary practices. We talk about the hypocrisy of the caste system and a pinch in a very particular part of the Indian caste society which provides perspective to understand how deep-rooted it really is.

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#91 - Kardashev Scale of Civilisational ProgressIn 1964, Nikolai Kardashev addressed the problem of how to classify civilizations in case we came in contact with any interstellar intelligent life. Kardashev scale is an attempt to map the progress of a civilization on a universal scale with the parameters of technological capability, and how that maps our own progress as a species. This episode, we try to understand why this scale is the closest to an objective parameter we can come to when trying to understand extraterrestrial life.

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#90 - Amusing Ourselves to DeathThis Episode of the podcast talks about Neil Postman's Book about media consumption and learned helplessness that inspired some of the lyrics in the new Arctic Monkeys Album. we talk about how a certain amount of skepticism was relevant even 80 years ago and how the disparity in the information we consume and what we are able to do about it permanently changes the nature of the human condition as we understand it today. I also indulge myself and talk about Niel Postman talking about Aldous Huxley's brave new world, and spend 15 minutes soaked in information that makes the existence o...2020-09-2015 min

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#89 - Egyptian Guide to Justifying a MonarchyFor Episode 89, we see how deeply political the intents for creation of one of the oldest religions of the human civilization, the Egyptian civilization by the Nile. In this episode we briefly go through the creation of the universe to the worship of the Sun God Ra, and the conquest of Horus, the falcon God, along with the ritualistic cat worship in Ancient Egypt, and how the religion as formulated was with the intents and purposes to justify monarchy. We also take a tiny detour to the prominence of ancient Egyptian Symbolism in popular culture. 2020-09-1323 min

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#88 - Manufacturing ConsentIn this episode, we discuss Noam Chomsky and Edward Hansen's extremely influential book: Manufacturing Consent. The last 4 years have been devastating for the credibility of the press, and this book makes an eery representation of how the stories it weaves around the institutional journalism in post World War II order fell together in favour of the powerful. The book inspired bands like System Of A Down and comedians and social commentators like Goerge Carlin along with the entire journalistic cover around Conformation bais that is relevant to this day.

I recently read Wittgenstein and wanted a session of learning about other theories or aesthetic and how it has come to represent the human experience, perceptions and understanding.

Deep Fried Neurons Podcast#82 - Wayfair Furniture Conspiracy and QOver the course of the last week, the theories surrounding the deep state and QAnon have resurfaced and have seen the exposure/impressions like never before, mostly because of the new development in the conspiracy about the theorised child trafficking ring and involvement of the eCommerce site "Wayfair furniture". The theory, as most would've figured, is a hoax and a leap that's fairly well constructed to have a lot of face value. This episode goes through explaining the conspiracy theory and further providing arguments for why it's not real. Moist Kritikal's/Penguinz0's video: https://www...2020-07-1820 min

We look at this story as the reason for Koovagam festival, a festival of the transgender community that happens in Tamil Nadu, and also because it has been cited as the reason for the recognition of the 3rd gender in India. 2019-04-2215 min
