The Arbitrarium a la Carte: Blunt Force Jesus
Dave hosts this episode as we discuss the problematic ways in which Christians evangelize, especially from parent to child, and the counter-intuitive consequences of religious cudgeling and persona-centered so-called "faith." We talk about Christians who engage with the faith as a cosmetic rather than a genuine, compelled belief and philosophy.

The Arbitrarium Podcast, Episode 36: A.I. Art
In this harrowing episode, Garrett and I debate whether or not A.I. art is "art" by trying to break down what qualifies as art, who in such a situation is considered the "artist," and whether or not it's a real threat to human artists moving forward. Join us on this, the longest single episode in Arbitrarium history, as we meticulously discuss artistry and how to determine its authenticity.
