During the episode, Grayson and Walt discussed how this measured rollout contrasts with the overhyped expectations, while also emphasizing that no company, including Waymo has scaled robotaxis without any operational issues.

In modern physics as in Western theology, darkness and shadows have a purely negative existence. They are merely the absence of light. In mythology and art, however, light and darkness are enjoy a kind of Manichaean equality. Each exists in its own right and lays claim to one half of the Real. In this episode, JF and Phil delve into the luxuriant gloom of the Japanese novelist Jun'ichirō Tanazaki's classic meditation on the half-forgotten virtues of the dark.

Brand used the same tactic that Walter Byers used in the 1950s through his invention of the “student-athlete.” The collegiate model has been put to many purposes, but its most effective and practical use is a justification for BigAmateurism’s maximization of revenue through the commercial exploitation of big-time football and men’s basketball.

The modern NCAA was born with the hiring of Walter Byers as CEO and the acquisition of legitimate, national enforcement authority. This era saw the NCAA successfully monopolize the market for televised football along with the adoption of the full athletics scholarship as a nationally uniform limit on compensation for revenue-producing athletes’ labor. These transformative milestones were the product of a perfect storm of inter-connected post-WWII events, including the GI Bill’s education benefits, enhanced communications technologies, mainstreaming commercial air travel, and the expansion of televi...2021-04-2357 minthe BigAmateurism monologues17: Pay for Play (Part I): 1906-1945The amateur-professional dance of hypocrisy in big-time college sports is defined principally in the relationship between high-value revenue-producing athletes in football and men’s basketball and the universities who buy their services.

The Athlete's Secret WeaponEP 15 Paul Stokell Flat out or flat brokeGrowing up, my family were never really sports focused, it seems strange then that one on my fondest memories was watching the famous Australian 1000 km motor race, Bathurst, the event consumed our day. This was not the traditional Ford vs Holden rivalry, it was the battle, the success, the crashes and following these drivers. Now I call it 'Snackhurst' a day to myself and experiencing memories of growing up and of my Dad who passed 25 years ago. My guest today was one of those drivers.

Weird StudiesThe Medium is the Message
On the surface, the phrase "the medium is the message," prophetic as it may have been when Marshall McLuhan coined it, points a now-obvious fact of our wired world, namely that the content of any medium is less important than its form. The advent of email, for instance, has brought about changes in society and culture that are more far-reaching than the content of any particular email. On the other hand, this aphorism of McLuhan's has the ring of an utterance of the Delphic Oracle. As Phil proposes in this episode of Weird Studies, it is an example of...2020-04-151h 25

Weird StudiesOn James Hillman's 'The Dream and the Underworld'
In 1979, the American psychologist James Hillman published The Dream and the Underworld, a polemical meditation on the nature of dreams. Rejecting the orthodoxies of both Freud and Jung, Hillman argued that the the "nightworld" of dream should not play second fiddle to the "dayworld" of waking life, because in the soul as on earth, day and night are equally essential, and equally real. To reduce a dream to a message or interpretation is to fail the dream. In order for dreams to do their work on us, says Hillman, we must cease to regard them as hallucinations, mere metaphors...2020-03-181h 15StrangervilleEpisode 109: Hot RodThis time in Strangerville, what happens when extremists hijack your moderate

Weird StudiesOn Pauline Oliveros, with Kerry O'Brien
In the mid-1960s, Pauline Oliveros was a composer of experimental electronic music. But at the end of the 1960s, shocked by the political violence around her, she turned away from electronic technology and towards to a different kind of experimentation, which Dr. Kerry O'Brien calls "experimentalisms of the self." The immediate result of this turn was Oliveros's Sonic Meditations, a series of instructions for group bodymind practice. This work became the seed of Deep Listening, a sort of musical yoga Oliveros developed throughout the rest of her long career. Dr. O'Brien joins JF and Phil for a conversation...2019-03-131h 03
Weird StudiesThe Fine Art of Changing the Subject: On Duchamp's 'Fountain'
In 1917, Marcel Duchamp trolled the New York art scene with Fountain, the famous urinal, whose significance has since swelled in the minds of art aficionados to become the prototype of all modern art. The conversation as to whether or not Fountain fulfills the conditions of a genuine work of art has been going on ever since. In this episode, JF and Phil weigh in with their own ideas, not just about what art is, but more importantly, about what art -- and only art -- can do. The result is a no-holds-barred assault on the very idea of conceptual...2018-11-0759 min
Weird StudiesScarcely Human at All: On Glenn Gould's 'Prospects of Recording'
Most people know Glenn Gould as a brilliant pianist who forever changed how we receive and interpret the works of Europe's great composers: Bach, Beethoven, Schoenberg... But Gould was also an aesthetic theorist who saw a new horizon for the arts in the age of recording technology. In the future, he said, the superstitious cult of history, performance, and authorship would disappear, and the arts would retrieve a "neo-medieval anonymity" that would allow us to see them for what they really are: scarcely human at all. This episode interprets Gould's prophecy with the help of the Canadian media theorist...2018-10-241h 16Walter M Ford musicUnforget-ABLEUnforget-ABLE by Walter M Ford2018-10-1704 minWalter M Ford musicGlideGlide by Walter M Ford2018-10-1301 min
