CLIFF NOTES – Consumerism and the Existential Void

Pages Against the Machine Podcast

Introducing “Cliff Notes.”

Rough around the edges, MINI EPISODES, featuring off the cuff commentary, opinions, and intriguing ideas, brought to you in between the longer produced episodes.

A laid-back, uncut hangout session with the host, Amir, in which he openly shares how he sees the world and what’s been on his mind.

In this first episode, Amir ruminates on how capitalism and consumerism have created an empty and inauthentic individual who could learn a thing or two from morphine loving mice.

We talk mutual aid, mental health, car wrecks and free markets, superheroes, rugged individualism, the music industry’s artificial nature, what the value of having kids might be, bootstraps, alligators, snakes and of course, bash us some capitalism along the way…

Throw it on for some insight into why our culture kinda sucks.
