Cursed Knowledge #10: This Podcast Never Happened
21/04/2022 Duration: 19minWe've all fallen victim to a bad retcon at some point in our lives. When the story we've been following takes a turn no one was prepared for and we have to act like it all makes perfect sense. It's Sherlock Holmes coming back from the dead. It's the reveal that an entire season of Dallas was only a dream. It's the author changing their mind and trying to convince you that it's all part of the plan. I don't buy it. And neither should you.

Epsilon Theory on Tape: Pecking Order
12/04/2022 Duration: 20minThe pecking order is a social system designed to preserve economic inequality: inequality of food for chickens, inequality of wealth for humans.

I don’t know if it’s too late to save them or not, but I’m increasingly thinking that it is. We need to start thinking about the funeral, who’s going to speak, and what they’re going to say.
