Our culture is in crisis and I don’t trust woke universities and authoritarian governments to give us the solution. I examine modern culture through history and anthropology, as well as other sources like indigenous knowledge and common sense. This is a show for those who love academics but hate academia, and want to learn about social studies without the constraining limits of woke universities.

048 - Bear Hunting Camraderie
My friend and I discuss our experiences during a bear hunt. They discuss the camaraderie and community aspects of hunting, the reasons people hunt, challenges faced during the hunt, and the enjoyment they derive from the outdoor activity. We also touch on human evolution and the role of hunting in it, as well as the public land advocacy group that Strollo is involved in, BHA (Backcountry Hunters and Anglers).

047 - Fat Acceptance is unacceptable
I discuss the fat acceptance movement, it's history and origins, and current state. I describe connections to other ideologies. I discuss the result of a culture that allows and promotes people to live in a state of unhealthiness. I talk about a few things from Michael Pollan's book, "In Defense of Food". We discuss food cultures and the issues of our own culture being based on industrial production of food and not on producing food.

045 - I talk about Israel/Palestine with a Jew
Me and my friend Ben, an American Jew, sit down to discuss Israel Palestine. We discuss the violence, extremist factions on both sides, the practical result vs motive. We talk about civilian casualties, collateral, and what makes violence acceptable. We talk about the implications of diverse peoples existing in one country (United States or Israel, or any other). We discuss the rhetoric of violence at college campuses and amongst public figures. We disagree over "legitimacy".
