"Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life." - SenecaOur favorite philosopher and artisan contractor with Vision Stone and Tile Nathan Merrill is back on the show today and if you've listened to any of the episodes he's appeared in before, then you know you're in for a deep-thinking treat!  Nathan and Jay are discussing the importance of writing down your thoughts and the nature of being inquisitive, the fact that we still wrestle with the same philosophical thoughts and dilemmas that Neitzsche and Marx wrestled with, and a little bit about some of the authors that have these two gentlemen's attention at the moment.  It's always a deep and wide-ranging episode when Nathan is here and today is no different, so please enjoy this conversation with our favorite deep-thinker Nathan Merrill.

Sometimes another person is… just in the way. But you would be advised NOT to try and hire a Hit Man because we see in the Netflix movie (that got a theatrical release), that most of the time they are just police. How much is true? Can you change your personality?

Big Idea: The hope that Neitzsche describes is NOT the hope of the Bible. Hope is trust in the God who exists – the God who is there.

In this interview I am once again joined by Anthony Metivier, author and internationally renowned memory expert who's meditation practice is reciting sacred Sanskrit texts from memory. Anthony takes us on a journey through the memory techniques that enable them to memorise hours of material in a variety of languages, including Sanskrit texts such as the Ribhu Gita, swathes of Shakespeare, and detailed facts and figures. Anthony demonstrates his use of the memory palace technique, pulls back the curtain on the art of spaced repetition, and recounts the life of 16th century Hermetic occultist and memory master Giordano Bruno. Anthony also reveals how he used memory techniques to face severe childhood trauma, to untangle a pattern of generational rage, and reflects on subjects such as non-duality, radical honesty, and consciousness. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep215-unlocking-the-power-of-memory-anthony-metivier-3 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - The lineage of memory mastery 03:56 - Comparing the world's memory traditions 06:47 - The fascinating life of Giordano Bruno 10:16 - Bruno's memory techniques 14:48 - Neitzsche, Spinoza, and analysing the current times 19:05 - Shakespeare's ‘Julius Caesar' 20:20 - Can we really learn from the past? 24:10 - How implicit memory influences decision making 25:43 - Generational rage and the spectre of Anthony's father 28:50 -Clearing generational trauma via sacred Sanskrit memorisation 30:46 - Sudden vs gradual 33:16 - What motivated Anthony to face his generational patterns? 37:26 - Consciousness and why we talk to each other 42:42 - How to memorise sacred Sanskrit texts 46:32 - Anthony's memory palace 58:33 - Power of spaced repetition 01:03:10 - Experiments in forgetting 01:05:17 - Hermann Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve 01:06:53 - Spacial memory and Anthony Hopkins 01:09:36 - Is a memory palace really necessary? 01:11:38 - Radical honesty 01:13:22 - Delusional memory experts 01:17:17 - Do memory techniques obscure the sacred meaning of the texts? 01:22:49 - How to memorise Shakespeare 01:31:20 - Sherlock Holmes myth 01:33:10 - Memory demands of being a working musician 01:35:41 - Benefits of improving memory 01:37:14 - Transformative effects on meditation 01:41:02 - The ego and non duality 01:46:27 - Studying with Anthony … Previous episode with Anthony Metivier: - https://www.guruviking.com/ep123-master-of-memory-anthony-metivier/ - https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep203-unlock-the-enlightened-mind-anthony-metivier To purchase Flyboy, visit: - https://www.magneticmemorymethod.com/fb-sq/ To find out more about Anthony Metivier, visit: - https://www.youtube.com/c/AnthonyMetivierMMM - https://www.magneticmemorymethod.com/

Shea Bile talks about his experience creating occult groups in San Francisco and Belgium and discusses his new book about the intersection between Neitzsche and occultism. How has the German existentialist been misunderstood and how does he illuminate a path for left hand and satanist occultism?

Nietzsche is famously known for his critiques not just of Christianity but of moral theory and moral consciousness in general. What can we learn from Nietzsche today? Do his critiques stand up, and what can a proper understanding of Scripture offer in response?

Pat and Jim use the occasion of receiving the Word on Fire Bible to discuss the necessity of biblical literacy to understand Western civilization, art, and culture. They also consider the need to have a grasp on biblical ideas in order to understand sophisticated critiques of Christianity, such as Nietzsche's genealogy. They also discuss the importance of understanding and confronting Nietzsche as a philosopher.

I interview Duquesne law professor Bruce Ledewitz about his new book The Universe Is on Our Side: Restoring Faith in American Public Life. Bruce is a secularist who nonetheless proposes that the current societal crisis in America (and perhaps the entire Western world) is rooted in the aftermath of what Neitzsche called "the Death of God." It's a controversial proposition, as is his prescription for a way forward.

https://www.letusthinkaboutit.com/step-45-free-guy/Part IThis week, we were offered a story of an NPC, non-player character, in a video game called Free City. And what happens when Guy, played by Ryan Reynolds becomes sentient. He is triggered awake by seeing a girl. Shocker right? He becomes a sentient algorithm, able to see his desires, take action, and even judge the relative value and merit of his actions. Well, the backstory is, the two programmers, a girl and guy, develop an AI, artificial intelligence engine, that allows characters to grow and change without human input or interaction. Naturally, the programmers are maybe in love, but are maybe too immature to know how to express it. A totally rad, bro capitalist buys the AI and scuttles their “pure and sweet dreams”, basically an AI “garden of eden” terrarium.NOTE: two young, awkward genius programmers, who can't get out the words to get someone out of their pants, frustrated, make a petri-dish to grow life in… so, yeah, they made a baby making machine, because they couldn't get past their emotional immaturity to make their own baby… so now, we have sentient NPCs crying in the garden to two clueless parent/gods. Long synopsis even longer: The female programmer falls for the NPC, of course, and eventually has to tell his creator he is simply “a love letter from the author.” Yuck. Gross. Bleh. FIRST THING: The moralRomance and Capitalism. The moral?  pursue Noble Passions, do not cave to the temptation of the base and mean, though it surrounds you. The reward is beyond money, and will reward you more deeply for longer, and who knows? maybe you will get the girl, or guy, or hunky algorithm… or the dopey, buff algorithm. SECOND THING: Work, Labor, ActionWhy do we need an AI? (This is answered at the end, but given “human idiocy” making anything like us is bound to be a failure.)To comment on the story and AI, we will borrow Hannah Arendt's terms for WORK, in which she distinguishes between the drudgery of labor, the productivity work, and the self-becoming of action.Labor is the NPC without sentience repeating tasks over and over. This is like a robot making the same widget over and over or humans having to get food and eat it over and over… then poop over and over.While work is the effort to create a new AI engine, or make a factory, something that will outlast you and supersedes nature.And finally, action is to engage in the world in such a way that you create a story of yourself in the world. ~ SO, this is kind of the notoriety Guy receives in the movie, moving from repetitive, endless labor of the NPC into work to level up and get the girl, into being a Contender, which affects the world and alters other people's understanding and actions.The AI is a challenge progression: from robot labor to creative work mimicking human behavior to self-aware action… to create something that can meta-cognate and make value distinctions.We are just attempting to leap the uncanny valley, and hoping the artificial grass is greener. RyderBut, what if we get past anthropomorphization?  If the AI can see that Goodness, Love, and Purity are really our Kryptonite… then when you dangle some lovey, attractive cuddly thing in front of us we go stupid. The best way an AI could get protection is to exhibit cutesy love. And, of course, this is the plot of many sci-fi books and movies, such as Ex Machina or Vivarium, where the true test for an intelligent machine or species is to prey on the human weakness of emotions and love. This is that ugly deep sea fish, the angler, with the little dangling light it uses to attract the other fish. The little light is the dangling Ryan Reynolds…  THIRD THING: DifferncePursuing Desire (once you have it, generally from discontent) takes work and action . To create your own story, where your actions effect the world is your will to power. A negative (discontent) moves us from our Contentment, that banal sameness that produces nothing new. however, difference… difference produces change.This where in Nietzschian terms we begin to move beyond good and evil, because the fascinating thing is, negative and positive are both forms of difference, they actually mirror and contain their contrariness in each other, they are just categorized by degree and distance. The more difference, the more transformative it becomes. Sameness, contentedness, can be when we are subservient to the same illusions… it is not really being alive, it is merely enacting historical, conservative values repetitively: these are phantasms. That's what movie projectors and shadows on cave walls are… They are the flattened, inverted forms of life.To escape this flattened category is to increase the difference, negate the sameness, even if it is through radical repetition.We thought we had an identity before… but this big “D” Difference is beyond the lame-ass category of identity: by enacting such a difference, we break the category… we approach transcendence, we manifest the beautiful soul, and enter the Eternal Return. In Free Guy: The hapless coders produce an AI, the crooked capitalist produces douchery and employs tons of people, and the awestruck NPC levels up to get the girl, then transcends that ~ all of them go to extremes of difference, they power through, and to each there is an affirmation. We are talking about Action, and Difference… about being aware, being motivated and taking action. We are talking about breaking the script. At the end of the day, why are we trying to make an AI that is sentient or aware?Because we lazy humans would like to stay at the WORK level, never taking the  ACTION to become AWARE ourselves. We will build a machine, an AI, to achieve enlightenment for us.  Call now, and for a limited time we can get ship you three cans of Deleuzian Difference Spray. Stand out. Smell difference, be difference. and watch her eternal return to you….  Now, we mentioned caves and movie projectors… These are Representations of the world, the re-presentation of the same. These re-presentations mediate everything.Adding more, an infinite repetition of forms with infinitesimally tiny differences, keeps us trapped in the same point of view. It is the logic of the simulacrum, with no grounding, fractally expanding and dispersing with no purpose. Capitalism and the market feed us small consumable changes: over-valued, over-marketed. This incepts (or coopts) our desire to move beyond the sameness, feeding us infinite multiplicity as novelty. It is saccharin, artificial fulfillment.As Anthony DeMello says, “We must wake up.” Drop your illusions.As Deleuze says. Quit becoming the Representation, become an experience. (pg 51?) THING 4: LeviathanLet's talk about the state, or the government. People set up these frameworks that are meant to serve the citizens, yet they are rife with contradictions: the state has coercive power over us, yet it allows us liberty. This is Isaiah Berlin's Positive and Negative Liberty.Setting up an AI and a State have similar problems… namely intentions and the blind spots of the authors.The NPC in FREE GUY is constrained by the limits of the game… the limits of the state… and in this way, government limits and shapes us, because even when we enact our highest state of Action, self-actualizing within the community, that happens under an umbrella of the state, in response to the state, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. The state is the story in which our story begins. It is our terrarium in many ways.Thomas Hobbes, who wrote Leviathan, is one of the earliest ideas of a modern state, a state that recognizes individuals wanting freedoms rather than a sovereign's dictates determining people. It uses artifice, a bit of deception, to constrain and balance for human brutishness, but overall, it's goal was to serve individuals. So… the key innovation here is individualism.Hannah Arendt, seeing what the Nazi regime perpetrated, despised Hobbes's “mechanistic” reduction of the citizens turned into subjects… and the subjects turned into cogs. Because she saw the evil a cog, a bureaucrat like Eichmann, could perpetrate. Her notion of how the state could serve individuals was radically different.We now have Representative Democracy here in the US, and a fascinating idea is not to think of “Democracy” as the key point, but “Representation” as the key point. This points out that the founders were quite fearful of true democracy, the “tyranny of the majority” as Tocqueville says.When our founders built the political AI engine, that we call a constitution, it appears to be based on premises of “equality” and “liberty” that actually never allowed for equality or freedom. The contradictions within the system means that as it evolves, particular points increase in prominence and divergence. These points come, in part, from author bias.conclusionOne thing I have not discussed too much, but is key: for Arendt, to take ACTION is to manifest your story in public. Not private. The path should be open for you, but it often isn't for many people. There is a friction here, often between the Story told (individualism and freedom) and what will be tolerated (reality, law). There exists an interstitial GAP between the story and the law, society and privacy, spaces that some people occupy and work to expand. As GUY found out in the game, as an “NPC” his actions were not explicitly denied, because they were new… never considered. He was not considered, because he was not a “he” or any type of human. This gets into some concepts I recently learned from Charles Mills, The Racial Contract, where colonizing imperialists saw indigenous people as “sub-human” thus not human.The logic is, someone like Kant, the Western world's preeminent moral philosopher, could be extremely racist because his morality only applied to “civilized men” which were by default posited as “white men.” His categorization blinded him. So will it be with Artificial Intelligences. The NPC is a soft entry to this concept of how we treat the sub-human.In the movie, Guy the NPC, due to not being “seen” as sentient or intelligent was at first unrecognized, then written off by incurious system admins. This allowed a modicum of Freedom, wiggle room in that interstitial space, until his difference became so pronounced that people had to take notice.  As he took action, his “difference” became excessive, beyond the category of NPC, which at first is negative for the game but affirmative for him, and as Deleuze and Neitzsche may say, “The extremes of difference are productive.”And thus, we fall back into capitalism: Excess production is a value to be captured. Recognize, extract…. Love produces excess, and in this case, frustrated love produced a new type of sentient being, that is now not only producing love in the world but introduces a novel untapped resource to be colonized for the capitalist. Capitalism collapses love back into a category, rather than BEING. We tend to allow capitalism to stimulate and feed our DESIRE for Love: It multiplies and reflects back desire but without the Love itself. But, to wrap this up as a Hollywood Ending:The warmth of new love, in this story anyway, created something new in the world… the reciprocal feedback loop of difference between two people made something new rather than replicating suffering. And capitalism itself, with its infinite multiplicity of redundant permutations is really a shambling zombie, merely feeding on the products of frustrated love, but unable to produce anything itself.

Guilt is a big topic - there is so much to say. Like the feeling of guilt itself, it is layered. We deal with guilt on an individual level and on a societal one. “Guilt is a religious problem which interests theologians, a social problem which interests sociologists and a psychological problem which interests psychologists,” wrote psychotherapist and theologian, Paul Tournier, in his book Guilt and Grace. People sometimes speak of  ‘religious guilt’ or ‘Catholic guilt’ and it’s almost always used negatively. The assumption is that if you are religious, you are dealing with much more guilt than the regular person, and certainly more than is healthy!But maybe guilt is actually good? And maybe religion - Christianity in particular - is the maestro of listening to, directing, and silencing the guilt we experience in our lives. LINKS About that record... the first was already dead: angler -- read more about Clive White's trout confession. This episode is brought to you by Zondervan's new book Bullies and Saints: An honest look at the good and evil of Christian history by John Dickson.  Meet our guest, Dr Rob Waller.  Meet our guest, Professor Wilfred McClay Here's Rob's book, The Guilt Book  Here's Bill's essay from The Hedgehog Review, The Strange Persistence of Guilt (behind a paywall, sorry!) The scene from Daredevil on Netflix was from Season 2, Episode 4. Though, we're not really saying you should watch it.  This one's specifically for John, actually: More on 30 Rock, the American satirical comedy created by Tina Fey. (PS. It won 16 Emmy awards and is regarded as one of the best sitcoms of all time). Here's the atheist bus campaign that Bill talks about. You can learn more about Neitzsche's theory on the genealogy of guilt here. Here's Sigmund Freud's Civilisation and its Discontents, where he declared guilt to be “the most important problem in the development of civilization.” He said “the price we pay for our advance in civilization is a loss of happiness through the heightening of the sense of guilt.” Here we are again, with a link for the Netflix series The Good Place. (So great that we keep quoting it. Dear John, you should definitely keep watching. Love Kaley and Mark)  There's a lot of views about whether or not to destroy Confederate statues. Here's a few interesting reads from different perspectives: A Solution to the Confederate-Monument Problem: Destroying the statues won’t erase the past. Why not let them deteriorate in a public space instead? from The Atlantic We need to move, not destroy, Confederate monuments from The New York Times Nearly 100 Confederate monuments removed in 2020, says report. Over 700 remain. from NPR (America's National Public Radio)  The battle over Confederate statues, explained: Confederate statues have always been about white supremacy. That’s why they’re coming down, by Vox And, here's Undeceptions own Laurel Moffatt giving her thoughts during an Undeceptions single last year.  Read the research by sociologists Bradley and Manning on victimhood: The Rise of Victimhood Culture, in which they write: "A culture of victimhood is one characterized by concern with status and sensitivity to slight combined with a heavy reliance on third parties. People are intolerant of insults, even if unintentional, and react by bringing them to the attention of authorities or to the public at large. People increasingly demand help from others, and advertise their oppression as evidence that they deserve respect and assistance. This only increases the incentive to publicize grievances, and it means aggrieved parties are especially likely to highlight their identity as victims, emphasizing their own suffering and innocence." It's Jiminy Cricket!   Read more on Professor Tyler Vander Weele's research on whether forgiveness is a public health issue. 

In ep. 149 we look at MYTH in the modern world. We examine how the DEATH OF MYTH is affecting modern culture in a negative way. This lack of MYTH has contributed to DESPAIR, DEPRESSION, and MEANINGLESSNESS felt by many people today. We look at the role of SCIENCE and CONSUMERISM in daily life. We discuss Neitzsche's concept of the "death of God" as well as JUNG's ideas about the lack of MYTH in the modern world and how we can RESURRECT MYTH and RELIGION in our own lives. Hosted by Jason Napolitano, author of If You Can Worry, You Can Meditate (available on Amazon and at CosmicEye.org) and Co-Hosted by Chris Sheridan author of Spirit in the Sky (available now on ChrisSheridan.com.) The Cosmic Eye show is a weekly metaphysical podcast where each week we talk about important spiritual books and ideas to help listeners positively transform their lives. We investigate spiritual, esoteric, and occult wisdom on a wide variety of figures such as Manly Hall, C.G. Jung, Israel Regardie, Crowley, Jordan Peterson, Alan Watts, Marie Louise Von Franz, Pythagoras, Paul Foster Case, Vivekananda, Yogananda, and others.

Welcome back to Episode 3! This week we dive into the stigma of doing activities alone. Why even though society is obsessed with being different as individuals, it still feels strange sometimes to be doing certain things alone. Join us as we break it down through discussion of individualistic vs. collectivist cultures, Neitzsche, the Lockean political theory, and plenty of hilarious anecdotes to tie it all together!

Welcome to Episode 28 of Hatradio! . This show is different than the others as I recorded it one on the road, in a low-cost housing environment. I did so I could have the chance to speak to two very charming, humorous and intelligent fellows, deeply impoverished, physically busted and essentially surviving from day to day.  Here's what you'll learn throughout the show: The room was small and quickly filled up with smoke. Strangely, after having quit smoking close to thirty years ago, I wanted a cigarette. In my mind, I asked for one. The two men, Vac Verikaitis and Danny Saroff are in their sixties. They are well-spoken, highly intelligent, funny as  hell, well-read and engaging. At one point Danny drew upon Greek mythology to make his point about the beauty of horses (and his love of horse-racing).  Danny has been homeless on-and-off over the years. Vac got really close prior to securing a room in this building where mental health illness is abound, and curdling nightly screams jolt tenants awake. Throughout our schmooze both my guests drank beer and smoked. Danny has had lung cancer, two strokes and is an alcoholic. Vac has had heart challenges, numerous muscle injuries and recent surgeries and is an alchoholic. But regardless, they imbibed and dragged on smokes while we talked. I'm not standing in judgement of Danny and Vac. Not at all. I know how smokes and drink can be a friend when you're suffering badly and family and friends aren't around. I have my own addictions. But clearly these habits, while part of their survival mode, are reflective of a certain hopelessness with comes with poverty. Poverty is expensive and knowing resources just won't come, pushes you down, over and over again.  Would you smoke or drink in their shoes? Damn right. Vac was a semi-professional soccer goalie. He was a superlative Formula-1 journalist and is an award winning documentarian. My handsome Lithuanian friend from way back, speaks four or so languages and is an awesome cook. Danny, was a cab driver who made pretty good cash, and had two accomplished lovers whom he lived with, one of whom was a high-profile journalist with a Canadian newspaper. He looks younger than his sixty-six years, speaks intelligently and cogently about his atheism, passion for the ponies (which includes an appreciation of the smell of horse shit. I get that), excitement of Kentucky Derby day over Christmas and an acceptance of not being liked by everyone. "I wouldn't be doing some right, if everyone liked me," Danny said. Both of them use a walker. Their gait is careful.   There were some technical problems during the show and you'll notice the interview stops abruptly. Equipment malfunction. That's bullshit. It was my ineptness. But you know, that was okay, because it just added to the rawness and unbridled nature of my schmooze with Danny and Vac. But I felt badly when the computer shut off, and I Vac was in the middle of an important soliloquy in which he rarely said 'um'. His eyes lowered knowing his voice had to stop.  Not sure why exactly, but there was a certain comfort I felt in their environment, more so than what i often feel in rich opulent homes I've been in; a particular safeness I experienced with these fellows who spend their days surviving. Vac and Danny have no airs about them. There was no falseness in that diminutive room (except perhaps for what I missed). What ever exited my friend's mouths, was fine.  There masks had left them many years prior - no strengths to keep them on or simply no reason.  I felt a type of authenticity myself. Their's was somewhat infectious. But I've always felt this. My Dad translated that into having 'bad friends'. Dads!  So that's what you'll hear in Episode 28 of Hatradio! Joy and melancholy. Intelligence and street. Coughing, hacking and elegance. What you might illicit from this show is that Vac and Danny were once little boys, someone's children, who grew into men battered by poverty, a system that can rip the kishkas out of you, but who did so with huge doses of style and peonage.  Take out of this show, that those indigent guys and women you see leaning against a wall to brace themselves from falling, might explain Neitzsche better than Professor Grossbaum could or certainly more astutely than those idiots who go around physically bashing homeless in the head, because of their disgusting demons. Know that Vac and Danny will share a beer with you (not sure if their last one), when people with affluence might horde their suds;  that within poverty is a clarity about life, a generosity of spirit sometimes couched in vomit, but that sloughs off that layer of 'I'll be who you want me to be'. Is this simple to get, or even to explain? No. But I know something important happened in that room. Listen closely. Tell me what you hear from Vac and Danny. Tell me what truth you uncover from my time with two very complex and simple guys on a hot, muggy day in downtown Toronto.  Hatradio! It's the show that schmoozes.      __________________________________________________________________________ Yisha ko'ach (yiddish for 'well done') to Howard Pasternack for his post-production work, accomplished like a true engineer.

For Episode 36, I sat down with Dheeraj, a good friend and a fellow person of culture to discuss one of the most mind numbingly paradoxical views on self-improvement. We also let the conversation trail off and just talk about whatever we want; which is why this episode is so long. However, it does provide some tea on why an unrealistic ideal is a constant theme in human civilization.

IN this episode we dive in to what existentialism is, and how it should interest you. We begin with Sartre, touch on Frankl, Neitzsche, Tillich, the "Stoics" and even Socrates. WAIT, COME BACK! KEEP READING!!! It is understandable that this could look like a boring topic, but I assure you IT IS NOT! Quite the opposite actually. We discuss what is courage, and how does one decide just how far to go with the party, versus how boring it would be to be a fundamentalist zealot.  (Obviously this is just a small piece of the whole of existentialist thought).Check us out on Twitter or our Facebook group page.

"There is a crazy six months in late '92/early '93, where Image Comics happened, the Batman animated series started, the X-Men cartoon started, and Superman died." "He's not pulpy. He's not like 'Put him in a death trap and that's your story,' which 99% of other superheroes are." "Superman's problem is the same problem that the Punisher has." "They crack the moon f**king this dude up!" "Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis will drag any superhero through the mud that you can imagine, except for Superman."

Is truth real? As we push further into Two Truths (eternal and worldly), we discover how elusive truth is in the world. We are indeed helpless to discover goodness in the world without Christ. Below the sun, we are enslaved to truth. Above the sun, we are set free by truth. Dr. Sams reminds us that practically speaking, we simply have to point our gifts toward the service of Christ, and the truth, the absolute good and perfect truth, guides us to eternal joy.

Choosing it as it is.

It's been a while but Maureen and Jen are BACK! And this time they're taking a more cerebral approach and discussing Classical philosophy and Neitzsche... OF COURSE THEY'RE NOT! They're just wittering on about bugger all as usual, but this in time in the fabulous company of Leisa Rea. Do listen, you'll learn nothing.

Hear how it all began and enjoy talks with Janeane Garofalo on Tom Regan, Wayne Federman on Neitzsche , Zach Sherwin on Martin Heidegger, Ari Shaffir on Immanuel Kant, Yakov Smirnoff on Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Dwayne Perkins on Epictetus, Rick Shapiro on Mencius, Matt Kirshon on George Barklay, Rick Overton, Katy Olson on Aldous Huxley, Fred Stoller on Maria Bamford on Jean-Paul Sartre.

There is always a price to pay for disobeying God.
