COEXIST Inc‪.‬ Isaac Eger

Years from now, I wonder how people will misremember these campus protests. They'll tell themselves they were on the right side of history, even has they tut-tutted the students for their actions. "Well, that's not the the way that I would go about changing things." I think we like the drape our world in nuance so we can pretend that we didn't know better, or the answer wasn't clear. But it's crystal. The world is complicated, yes. This is not.

There were campus protests of Vietnam back in 1968. Steve Schafer was at the original Columbia University occupation. I've known Steve most my life. He worked with my father as a public defender. He also served in Vietnam. We talked about whether history repeats itself or just echoes at his farm out in the country.

I'm on my way home from Japan. I thought a lot about Hiroshima and OJ Simpson. Here's a preview of an upcoming episode about how history is written in sand.

This will be my first ever pay-walled episode. If you'd like to hear the whole thing, head on over to Patreon.

Isaac is joined by Dorian (@dankdeleuze) and Klonny (ParaPower Mapping) to talk the politics of paranoia and Max Azzarello, the Florida man who self-immolated in front of the courthouse charging Trump.

Isaac is joined by his dear friend, Maxwell Cody (@schizotopia/@neoyeoman) to talk about the merits of geoengineering. Is it techno-hubris that will destroy mankind? Or will we irreparably destroy earth's systems?

Be sure to subscribe to Maxwell's Substack for some gorgeous insight.

Diddy, AKA P Diddy, AKA Puff Daddy, AKA Brother Love is in big trouble. There are 5 separate cases against the rap mogul. One of the allegations claims that if the victim did butt stuff with Diddy, then he could guarantee him a Grammy. It makes you wonder just how many celebrities have done sexual quid pro quos in exchange for their success.
Isaac is joined by hip hop experts Nathan J. Robinson (@jesuslasupajew) and Manny Rangel who talk Diddy to him.

Finally--some bipartisan agreement in Congress. This month, our esteemed elected officials voted to "ban" the social media giant. But the ban would just force the private Chinese company that owns it to sell it to investors with ties to the Israeli government.

Isaac is joined by James Rehwald and Sam Quick to talk about the state of social media, dopamine and deplatforming.
