Honest Enough Honest Abe

Market forces, Capitalism, Isolation, distancing, everything is coming up COVID. Join Eggie, Alex, Brian and JUST JASON as we get kinda-together to talk about cleaning cans, American exceptionalism, and what else we are not doing to not go RONA CRAZY.

In this episode we lose Eggie, but we replace him with Anna French. Anna is a nomadic digital storyteller and the founder of the Spin The Globe project. We probe her brain as we delve into her thoughts on sustainability, tales of world travels and van life, and her mother Felicia French’s uphill battle running for the Arizona Senate.

This episode starts off with a ride on a modern day Ship of Theseus. How do you account for an object's soul? We ride the ship all the way to the steps of The Great Filter. Is the great filter ahead of us, or is it deep in our rearview mirror? We finish up discussing consciousness. How smart is too smart to eat?

Belief systems are an insight into where a person has been and a predictor of where people may go.

Where are the lines drawn between religion and spirituality ?(19:43). Brian helps Eggie explores his perspective on polytheist mythology (33:05). Alex expands on a phrase oft-used, but rarely contextualized, when he dives into The Good Samaritan anecdote (41:04).
