StudiousKairos: Chapter 1Welcome back to Studious! We've taken a break here to write a novel, one I'd like to share with you today. Kairos is a greek word that relates to moments that are ripe for opportunity, but historically, one could view Kairos as limitless or eternal time. If we break our bonds to linear time, what does that mean for us humans? Will we remove other shackles as well?

StudiousFree Will Part Deux: Deux You, Boo Boo.This week on Studious, we return to our discussion on free will and see if there’s anything we can do to combat our fixed trajectories. Spoiler alert: hopefully we can. Tune in and find out.
Side Note: Not only is the essay a metaphor for life, but it also follows the logical rules of the narrative with its three act structure. All the world is a stage. Huh, wouldja look at that? Bill Shakespeare, whodah thunk!?!

StudiousSapir-Whorf!?!This week on Studious, we explore the concept of linguistic relativity. Can the language we learn shape our experiences and perspectives? How much of our perspective hinges conceptually, and how much of it is culturally influenced. All this and more, this week on Studious.
We also talk about linguistic relativity in relation to aliens. And somehow I completely breezed over Arrival, not to be confused with the Charlie Sheen vehicle, The Arrival. Warning: if you get triggered easily, perhaps sit this one out. I’m mild sauce level offensive.

StudiousNFTs: Art in the Age of DigitizationMaybe you're into art or NFTs or both. Maybe you could give two shits about art. Well, this conversation is broader than just art or just NFTs, and delves into Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Benjamin saw the writing on the wall when it came to this new industrial age he found himself in. His views were reflexive of being a German intellectual in juxtaposition with the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. Jesus, it just always goes back to the Nazis in this podcast, doesn't it?

StudiousWe Could Be HeroesHow do you follow that episode about PK? Well, you just keep treading water. We follow the previous narrative with our introduction into Grand or Meta Narratives. We'll examine Joseph Campbell's Hero's journey, particularly through our modern myths of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings. What do these narratives have in common with our own journeys through life? They might all be such great successes because they speak to a universal truth within us all.

StudiousDouble Dickin': The Metaphysical World of Philip K. Dick. Part 2: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. Side Note: I edited, I mean, oversaw my...

StudiousDouble Dickin': The Metaphysical Reality of Philip K. Dick. Part 1: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 to distinguish my own voice from that of PK's. My apologies as it may come across as less...

StudiousRepresentations of Evil, Part III: Post-Modern EvilOMG, 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 rigamarole of morality we peddle to each...

StudiousRepresentations of Evil 2: The Easter Existential Evil Eggstravaganza, or the 4 E's of EvilTo 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.

StudiousSo Bad, it's Good: Metaphysical and Post-Metaphysical Representations of EvilAre 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 if you want to it feel more homoerotic, feel free to...

StudiousAin't Nuthin' Free... and Your Will Ain't Either (REMASTERED)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.

StudiousSo Simple, a Caveman Could Illustrate it.Today on Studious, we are gonna harken back to the old school... of rational thought.

I probably was so worked over by this allegory, that I was Plato in his hands...

StudiousMimetic Theory and Scaping 'em GoatsWe 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.
