The Necessity of Nihilism: Atheism is Not Enough.

In an era of movie-length uploads... this time, instead, we've got historical nihilism explained in ten minutes or less. ;-)

JFK and the idiocy of Ben Shapiro: the assassination of President Kennedy, how not why.

It's a remix: two podcast episodes combined into one, with a new intro (adding music and a few moments from recent sworn testimony stated under oath before congress). Several anecdotes have been removed, reducing the runtime of the monologue significantly (and two comedic digressions have been added, masking how much shorter this version is).

Instagram is destroying stand up comedy: how not why.

All new, all different: within the first few seconds you should notice that this version of the podcast has been revised (1) to provide you with short clips of the comedians mentioned, and (2) it provides the text of the article on screen, while it's being read aloud and discussed, with some other illustrations popping up along the way.

Vegan Options Do Not Make a Movement. ‪@GaryYourofskyAdaptt‬

Veganism got comfortable. Complacent. Conformist. Get uncomfortable. Remember the challenge we were supposed to pose. (The Future of Veganism is Who?)

After many years of silence, Gary Yourofsky has recently said that he's willing to give interviews to everyone and anyone on social media, no matter how small their podcast audience, instagram following, or youtube channel may be. We shall see.

Unlike my many movie-length uploads in the last few months, this is only five and a half minutes long. Admittedly, it will feel like the longest five minutes of your whole entire life.

The Treason of the Bikini Models: vegans after the end of veganism, politics without a political movement, intellectuals with no intellect.

"There is no we."  There is no vegan movement anymore, for some of the same reasons that there is no BLM movement anymore —and for some of the same reasons that there is no atheist movement anymore.  So, for those of us that remain, after the end of the vegan movement: what now, what next?  It's deeper than Youtube, it's deeper than Instagram.

NEVERTHELESS, I would urge you to click through the link to follow me on Instagram… ;-) https://www.instagram.com/a_bas_le_ciel/

BLM FAILED. Martyrs are not messiahs, victims are not heroes: the ancient philosophy that ruined a revolution in our time.

With a title like that, who needs a synopsis? This one is only on Doomed Republic, a peculiar and profound contrast to other videos that have BLM in the title, found on my other podcasts / channels.
