    #120: Christmas and The Sermon on the Mount

    Today, I divulge into why Christmas is on December 25th, then I do an entire analysis of The Sermon on the Mount. For those unfamiliar, The Sermon on the Mount is a speech which, according to the Bible, Jesus Christ gave. It is, more or less, Jesus' magnum opus of philosophy within Orthodox Christianity .

    #119: Thus Spoke Zarathustra 1 - Intro and Section 1 of 'Zarathustra's Prologue'

    On this episode, I trace back the usage of fire and light as symbolism for wisdom and knowledge via bringing up Genesis, the myth of Prometheus, animism, the resurrection, Plato's allegory of the cave, and the Zoroastrian religion. This acts as the introduction to begin discussing the first section of 'Zarathustra's Prologue'.
