Premium 91: No Logo
Added 2020-03-08 16:38:13 +0000 UTC
Tanya goes on Logo TV (sort of), Tarence goes to a wedding, and then the gang digs deep into the absolutely bizarre phenomenon of the recently-deceased Elizabeth Warren campaign. Recorded before she dropped out, so hopefully this didn't age too poorly.

Working people in Kentucky have the opportunity to support Bernie, who is inarguably hated by the establishment. We'll see what happens.

When you all started talking about the Warren supporters and, wanting to be progressive whilst not disturbing those at the top reminded me of something I just watched/listened to with Anand Giridharadas. The part specifically is at around the 6:10 to 7:00 min mark, but the whole thing is good. https://youtu.be/pPWhpXRYzNg
“...in an age of monopoly and inequality, that it is possible to lift up those protracted on the floor without somehow disturbing those standing on their necks.”

@tristin I wondered if someone would point that out. But I actually disagree. I think Fichte's terms work just fine, if they are applied to produce opposite categories during antithesis--leading to contradiction in synthesis. This is what I heard Tarence doing in his example, so it worked just fine (to my ear).
But what I really came here for was to encourage people to check out Eric Roberts in "A Talking Cat!?". No ski school, but you won't be disappointed.
Great episode Trillbillies!

Hi! Philosophy / Critical Theory person here. I have a bullet for Tarence Ray. Hegel never once mentioned of dialectics as a tripartite of These-Antithesis-Synthesis. That was a construction long after his death. Hegelian Dialectics was completely misconstrued in Marx’s conception of Dialectics as stages of achieving a higher unity. The ground of dialectics is not synthesis but instead contradiction. Read the contemporary readings of Hegel as influenced by psychoanalysis, the most influential of which is Slavoj Zizek. But a very very good book is Todd McGowan’s Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution.
