On this episode, Kris and I attempt to tease out the general malaise we’ve been feeling culturally as of late. We begin by discussing 9/11, taking it as an opportunity to talk about the shift we’ve made ideologically in the past 20 years. Why don’t we consider ourselves “left” anymore? We go into 9/11 conspiracies and how our thoughts have evolved. Whatever happened to intellectual humility? What is the mythopoetic story of 9/11?
Note: Rage Against the Machine’s self-titled album came out in 1992, not 1998.
