    Contrapoints and Nietzsche: Why Twitter Is Bad For You

    Contrapoints and Nietzsche: Why Twitter Is Bad For You

    Also available in video form at https://youtu.be/NUPWY_evu30

    In a recent video by Contrapoints, she goes over her account of envy and its connection with online politics. In doing so she utilizes Nietzsche (alongside a critique of Nietzsche). How accurate is this account to Nietzsche's work and where does it go wrong?  

    Thank you to We're in Hell, BadEmpanada, and Chelsea Manning for the voice lines!

    In Search of Hyperborea: Part 2, The Indo-European Homeland and Esoteric Fascism

    This episode investigates how a similarity between Hindi and Sanskrit, languages spoken in Northern India, and European languages such as Latin, Greek, and German helps spark an esoteric fascist ideology that would be an essential social and philosophical building block for the Third Reich.

    In Search of Hyperborea: Part 1, Ancient Greek Mythology and Modernity

    In Search of Hyperborea: Part 1, Ancient Greek Mythology and Modernity

    "Hyperborea" was noted by the Greeks to have been a land beyond the vicious boreal winds of the north, in a sunlit realm of justice with no disease, war, old age, or labour. Where did this mythology come from and why is it still being referenced today? 

    Part 2 will be out early for 2$ a month for Patrons at patreon.com/livagar . Additional bonus content about hyperborea will also be posted there.

Obviously very good

Really good and well read podcast. Liv does a good job at introducing new ideas to an audience and I like when she says “of course” and “obviously”; it makes me feel smart and cool
