At World's End

A podcast about America and Modernity. Why does it often feel like the world has only recently become a simple, disenchanted thing, with no final purpose? Is it really solid all the way through? Perhaps it’s better not to think about it. But what if rather than trying to forget this feeling, you face it, grab hold of it, and follow it around for an hour and a half? — Recorded by a more than moderately perplexed youth in Boston, MA.

    The Life and Death of Hubert Dreyfus

    We are in a bad age, an age defined by decadence and isolation and false alliances. But will it be remembered for its vices? for tech giants or political siren songs? Maybe, but maybe not. The 19th century was in some ways defined by industrialization, and imperial conquest. But the 19th century also had Beethoven. Where is our Beethoven? We have the bad, should not some good come too? This episode is about Prof. Hubert Dreyfus, and why he's the good.

    Civilization is Canceled

    We are all more or less quarantined, the economy is blowing up, and people are starting to come around on the effectiveness of masks. What does this crisis ultimately mean?
