E39: Latter Days

I am joined by my Catholic friend Nathaniel from Texas, who is a butcher by trade. He is on a noble crusade to slay the usury of Mammon. We discuss magic, usury, the mystical Brazenhead of the medieval alchemists, the knowledge of Adam, writing, parenting, eschatology.This was originally published on his blog at https://taurusnecrus.substack.com/. Our friend "lil lathos" aka Preston helped record and edit the original interview.

We are back (hopefully!). Today the boys sit down to discuss where we have been and going-ons, the (apparently fascist) history of "organic farming," as well as laying out a critique of optimism (and not of Voltaire's species of critique, mind you!)

Therapy boys are joined by American expat in Russia, Evan, to discuss the phenomenon of the neurosis of religious conversion and the strange psychology of modern times.

The boys discuss Dante, the angelic hierarchy, raccoon hunting, and classical astronomy.

The boys are joined by guest Emma to discuss her history with the Mormon church.

The boys are joined by special guest Peter AKA “The Moon Man”, a man on a mission to educate about geomorphology and alternative cosmology. We also touch on the Nephilim and meta-epistemology.

The boys join a new guest to discuss photography and the relativity of happiness.

Cory and his guest Gabriel discuss the art of hosting symposiums: parties that marry Apollo and Dionysius in a ceremony of good wine and conversation.

The boys sit down with dream scientist Jesse Lyon to discuss the nature of dreams and the original meaning and tradition behind the concept of the university.

The boys sit down to discuss French gourmand Savarin, food, the philosophy of taste, and the future (or lack thereof) of dining out.
