The Movement of the Free Spirit
With the recent passing of Raoul Vaneigem, we're spending this episode talking about his book the Movement of the Free Spirit. It's a weird book about a heretical trend in medieval Christianity that pointed people toward freedom rather than repression. But, to be honest, it's a pretty mixed bag!

Life is useless
In a world where the IMF has said the entire stock of whales are worth 1 trillion dollars and biological offsets equivocate one threatened environment for another, Christianity can help us think of life as worthless and beyond value altogether. We've got a new episode where we're talking about the valuation of life and how we can reframe the way we think about value altogether. To get there, we're chatting through a big philosophical idea about the valuation of life and ecology. In the episode we talk about Marika Rose's Theology for the End of the World, Phillippe Maia's Trading Future, and a bunch of other weird philosophy guys.
