Released another episode on Camus five minutes ago. Episode #225 on his book The Plague. We talk about a common misreading from the Myth of Sisyphus. We talk about different cycles of his work from his earlier individual confrontation with the absurd to a more community focus. We talk about solidarity. Absurd heroes. Empathy and metaphysical rebellion. Hope you enjoy it, my friends. :)

Ep 060 "The Military Historian's Craft: Past Tense Imperfect"

I am an un-credentialed amateur historian who has done very little archive work and lack the substantial infrastructure credentialed historians have to practice their craft. I have debated esteemed historians and won on stage (Daniel Walker Howe looked at my CV and did not prepare) but that doesn't make me better than them.

I think my various detours in life mostly outside the formal academy gives my a unique insight into how history works and why I think I am more sober than university historians.

I have been taking a chainsaw rhetorically to the Western malfeasance and incompetence in the sphere of all things military and you be amused to read those posts (4-5 per week) at The Libertarian Institute Blog: https://t.co/bAoatv9ndR

@raquellrussell @AnnaRMatson I think people are referencing the total amounts since 1990.

New episode just dropped: #211 Nietzsche returns with a hammer!

Today we talk about Nietzsche's views on the decay of western society. We talk about his problems with Socrates. The genealogy of Egalitarianism that has led to our modern societies, and how to contextualize his concept of the Ubermensch within modern culture. Hope you enjoy it! :)
