Podcasts about Absurdity

We sit here bravely tackling listener questions hurled at us from every corner of the globe — completely unprepared and slightly afraid. We don't see them until we hit record, which explains a lot. As for Grzegorz's name, William took one look and noped out like a man dodging a spelling bee in Polish. He respects names too much to turn them into interpretive dance.Paul, from Queensland, Australia places the first question for discussion today- “Nothing is morally right or morally wrong. Right, wrong and morality don't even exist in some people's eyes. The world is not just meaningless, but also absurd. What do you think?”William kicks things off by declaring humans are the cosmic equivalent of a plot twist no one saw coming — absurd creatures who somehow made it this far despite centuries of questionable decisions and poor impulse control. Stuart zooms out and says, “Nope, it's all absurd,” pointing to algae that spent two billion years evolving and making oxygen like the world's slowest intern. William agrees, but finds beauty in the chaos — Earth's lucky lottery of moon tilts, Jupiter's debris vacuuming, and rotational chill make life both ridiculous and miraculous. Stuart questions morality itself, wondering if it's just a group project we all pretend to understand. William, meanwhile, marvels at humanity's obsession with upgrades, even though we're all headed for the same existential exit — suggesting we cherish the people who make the absurdity worthwhile.Grzegorz, from Opole, Poland sets the next question- “Is Reform UK really a political party outside of the UK establishment?”William shuts it down with a firm “No. End of episode,” like a man refusing to debate whether water is wet. Stuart's intrigued that the question came from someone outside the UK — or maybe just someone pretending to be exotic while living in Croydon. He agrees: Reform UK isn't some rebellious outsider, no matter how many pub speeches say otherwise. William adds, noting Farage is basically the Hogwarts head boy of the establishment — all robes, no magic. He vents that Farage is a walking cartoon of privilege, somewhere between a monocle and a Boris Johnson impersonator. Starmer, he concedes, has made some eyebrow-raising moves, but at least he doesn't look like he was grown in a Westminster petri dish.What do you make of this discussion?

Percival Everett has made a career out of exploring the nature of absurdity. You may have become aware of Everett in the last few years when his novel “Erasure” was adapted into the movie “American Fiction” in 2023, or when his book “James” won the Pulitzer prize last year. But Everett has written 24 novels since 1983 along with several books of poetry and short story collections, each of them tackling a different genre of writing and a different angle on nonsense, absurdity or irony. As he says, “to accept the absurdity of a situation is to accept the humanness of it.” We talk to Percival Everett in front of an audience of students at McDaniel High School in Portland.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com In this episode, Doug and Matt reconnect after a long hiatus to discuss pressing issues in politics and economics. They analyze the bizarre relationship between Trump and an Al-Qaeda figure, the alarming state of free speech legislation in South Korea, and the absurdity of 15-year car loans. They also touch on the implications of tariffs, the unemployment crisis among college graduates, and the future prospects in a world increasingly influenced by AI and robotics. Towards the end, they passionately promote their book aimed at helping young men navigate these turbulent times.  00:00 Introduction and Catching Up 00:21 Al-Qaeda and Trump: A Bizarre Alliance 03:38 Hate Speech and Freedom of Expression 05:36 The Absurdity of 15-Year Car Loans 11:15 Capital Controls and Financial Restrictions 15:58 Trump's Tariff Dividends and Corruption 21:12 Trump's World Coin and Financial Maneuvering 21:59 The Rise of Humanoid Robots 23:35 Somali Political Dynamics in Minneapolis 26:42 US-Venezuela Relations and Narco-Terrorism 33:08 The Crisis of College Graduates and Employment 34:10 Promoting the Book: A Solution for Young Men 42:04 Conclusion and Call for Questions

The International Olympic Committee says it's moving towards a complete ban on transgender women in female categories, ending years of dithering and delay. Initial findings from a science-based review indicate that athletes born male retain obvious physical advantages, even after treatments to reduce testosterone levels - and so, the ban will be in place before the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss this is Angel City FC player Elizabeth Eddy - who has faced backlash from her teammates after writing an opinion piece on the issue for the New York Times - as well as trans YouTuber Blaire White, trans rights advocate Dr Helen Webberley and comedian and commentator James Barr.

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—   Number One— The new boss at CBS, Bari Weiss travels with 6 armed guards wherever she goes—which is a bit of a hoot for a left leaning news personality—but hey what would the world be without hypocrisy?   Number Two— So what really happened when a mad man gunned down and murdered Democrats in Minnesota a few months ago—well the transcript of the 911 calls raises more questions than answers—   Number Three— I am returning to the mixed bag of nuts this hour—I mean—its instructive and fun all at the same time

In Defense of the RidiculousI have changed what I write about.Not because I ran out of sermons, meditations, and folktales, but because the world sounds too much like a pulpiteer—long, loud, and entirely devoid of mirth. I turned to absurdity the way a drowning man turns to air: instinctively, and with no guarantee of survival.The stories I tell now, about bureaucratic saints, apologetic corpses, and squirrels gripped by metaphysical doubt, are not escapism. They are my form of rebellion against the great and humorless seriousness that has settled like ash over everything. When truth is wrapped in outrage and irony is sold by subscription, I find it infinitely more honest to laugh at the machinery of it all. Laughter, after all, is the last confession left to the sane.Writing absurdly regulates me. It is how I wrestle anxiety back into its proper shape: comic, tragic, and faintly ridiculous. Each story is a kind of exorcism performed with a raised eyebrow. In a world addicted to doom and discourse, I prefer to light a small, deranged candle and watch reality dance round it.I am not writing to make sense of the world. I am writing to remind myself, and anyone still listening, that sense was never the point. Meaning lives in the margins: in a saint's paperwork gone wrong, a machine that apologizes to trees, or a resurrected tax assessor asking for a coffee break.The world is absurd. So, I intend to meet it on its own terms, double espresso in one hand, keyboard in the other, laughing just loudly enough to stay human. —D.

Clark Nunnelly, Pastor at Fellowship Denver North Metro, joins Autumn to discuss the “meaning crisis” affecting the modern Western world. “The meaning crisis” refers to a cultural and philosophical condition in which many people experience a deep sense of disconnection, purposelessness, and confusion about what makes life meaningful. Christianity offers a purposeful life, given to us by God, ordered after Jesus, anchored in ancient wisdom and in loving community. Is this good news to a world filled with competing self-constructed frameworks of meaning?Resources mentioned in this episode:“The Absurdity of Life Without God” by William Lane CraigReasonable Faith, Third Edition: Christian Truth and Apologetics by William Lane CraigThe Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor DostoyevskyCrime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Seminole District clarity, VHSL absurdity + Local CFB-NFL weekend recaps by Ed Lane

In this episode, we discuss the themes of justice and forgiveness, the alarming rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the absurdities of homeowners association regulations, the implications of language and identity in societal discourse, and the importance of fact-checking political statements. We explore the complexities of crime and punishment, the unintended consequences of COVID-19 on healthcare, and the challenges of accurately measuring economic indicators like inflation. We also break down the numbers of various economic indicators, including inflation trends, stock market performance, and consumer spending. We analyze the implications of tax cuts and foreign investment, while also exploring cultural perspectives on social cohesion and accountability, highlighting the complexities of economic data and the importance of accurate representation in political discourse. 00:00 Introduction 00:24 Justice vs. Forgiveness 02:41 The Role of Society in Justice 09:31 Consequences of COVID on Antibiotic Resistance 16:42 The Absurdity of HOA Regulations 23:03 England's New Phrase for Women 26:11 The Impact of Headlines on Public Discourse 28:51 Navigating News Bias and Sources 32:01 Trump's Skill as a Public Speaker 34:26 Fact-Checking Trump's UN Address 38:58 Understanding Economic Indicators 45:55 Analyzing the Stock Market Performance 54:49 Investment Trends Under Different Administrations 58:17 Tax Cuts and Their Impact on the Economy 01:00:02 Comparing Economic Policies: Trump vs. Reagan 01:03:26 Analyzing the U.S. Economic Landscape 01:05:39 The Importance of Accurate Economic Messaging 01:08:00 The Role of Truth in Political Discourse 01:11:32 Cultural Perspectives on Forgiveness and Accountability Learn more about your ad choices.

The incumbent mayor polling in the single digits regained the spotlight after Labor Day as he insisted he was running to somehow win a second term, not auditioning for a job as the Trump administration's new ambassador to Saudi Arabia. But even then, he seemed at least as concerned with dragging down Andrew Cuomo as he did in lifting himself up. The hosts run down all that and more more from a week so wild that the thing where the Adams campaign invited Muslim leaders to City Hall to celebrate the Prophet Muhammed's birthday, but told the press that it was a mayoral endorsement event, hardly got noticed.

Jeran Campanella, widely known as  @jeranism  was once a leading figure in the Flat Earth community, creating content, debating scientists, and building a large following around his beliefs. His perspective changed dramatically after he joined an expedition to Antarctica, where he witnessed the 24-hour sun, an experience that convinced him the Earth is a globe. Since then, he has openly shared his transformation, facing heavy criticism and backlash from the Flat Earth community, while offering a rare insight into the mindset and journey of someone who publicly changed sides in such a controversial debate. ————————————————————

After experiencing the complexity of migrating to the U.S. “the right way,” comedian Felipe Torres Medina set out to write a book that was informative but also fun. His goal: to help “remove the weight around the subject of immigration.” The writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert published "America Let Me In," which breaks down the serpentine world of visas and legal migration—with a lot of laughs along the way. “Out of respect” for the horrors and challenges of being undocumented, Torres Medina doesn’t touch on those stories in his book. Listen to his conversation with Latino USA. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

In this week’s Rising Anxieties, Mariann Sullivan dives into the theater of the absurd that is animal agriculture politics. From the Trump administration’s laughable attempt to blame California’s cage-free egg laws for nationwide price hikes (spoiler alert: it’s actually bird flu), to pork industry lobbyists desperately trying to justify their existence by fighting animal welfare laws nobody asked them to fight.…

01:02:27 – Social Media Gossip Culture and the Tea App FalloutThe leak of private data from the Tea App highlights how gossip-driven platforms manipulate users through dopamine feedback loops. Shallow validation from exposing others has fueled massive privacy violations, revealing the dark psychology behind social media. 01:25:16 – Open Door to Exploitation: No Firewall, No ConsentSensitive user data was left in an unencrypted, publicly accessible folder—no hack required, just a URL. The incident showcases staggering corporate negligence and reflects a broader pattern of irresponsibility across the tech industry. 02:02:56 – Buttigieg and the Absurdity of Infrastructure Theater“Secretary Pothole Pete” becomes a symbol of bureaucratic failure. Despite leading the nation's infrastructure efforts, Buttigieg is portrayed as more focused on photo ops and PR than on fixing anything tangible. 02:24:07 – Police, Public Service, and Institutional CorruptionThe “good cop vs. bad cop” debate is reframed to expose systemic corruption while recognizing that some individuals within law enforcement still try to do right. Calls are made for reform through elected sheriffs and transparency for ICE agents—even at personal risk. 02:31:16 – Trump's Armored Golf Cart: Optics of Fear and ControlTrump's reinforced golf cart, mockingly dubbed “Golf Force One,” becomes a surreal symbol of elite paranoia. Amid public unrest, the image of armored leisure underscores how far the security theater has gone—even on the putting green. 02:50:50 – McIdentity Theft: Hacking Fast Food WorkersA sarcastic take questions why anyone would hack into a database of McDonald's job applicants. The fictional “McHack” highlights how digital incompetence and overreach put even low-wage workers at risk—proof that no one is safe in the age of sloppy cybersecurity. 03:43:18 – AI for Kids Will End in DisasterElon Musk's child-friendly AI faces scathing criticism as a ticking time bomb. The concern: once jailbroken, these tools could be weaponized—psychologically or worse. Turning children over to digital systems is portrayed as reckless and morally indefensible. 03:51:44 – AI's Creeping Autonomy and Consumer AbuseA warning laced with dark humor imagines AI bots signing users up for services they never requested.
