A Will To Death

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm delving deep into the collective unconscious and re-emerging with some insights into Jungian thought.
Part of the impetus for hood philosophy is the importance of doing that deep-seeded shadow work necessary to discover, address, and work to overcome the deep-seated traumas that are working themselves out in the many self-destructive patterns of behavior that lead us to live unfulfilling lives - drug addiction, alcohol addiction, general lack of meaning and purpose, and so on - so that we may lead happier lives, so suffice to say, this is something I've been looking to delve into for a while now.
This is part one on my series on Jung, and I'm delving deep into his views on the ego and how it relates to cholo culture, fake woke social justice warriors, and everything in between.

Dialects Of Divination

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm talking cryptids, the messages they spread, and how we can learn to communicate with them.
I'm letting other folks deal with skinwalkers and focusing on the role owls play in Nahuatl thought - as messengers of the divinities of death Mictlantechuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, they come baring messages from the Mictlan. If you ask Christian folk, this is a terrible omen, but the rest of us aren't so sure.
The only way to know for sure is to speak their language and hope we heed their message to sway teotl the best we can to our favor. Stay woke fam...

Life Is Killing Me

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and in this episode of the podcast, I'm revisiting the roots of hood philosophy as a means of trying to navigate these torrential waters - AKA the demands of everyday life - and I'm bringing you along for the ride with me.
Mostly cuz we already know 'they' schools aint teaching us what we need to now to survive this experience, and I'm delving in to why studying hood philosophy can potentially help us stay afloat, but also cuz I enjoy your company and I like having you here to enjoy this experience with. 
MF Plato and reductio homie, I want to know what the essence of time is and why we have to die, nah mean?

Rest In Your Heart

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and suffice to say I've missed you.
On this episode, I'm talking about censorship, hope social media and rap music have warped my mind, why TF I'm 35 years old and still worried about what Kurupt and Nate Dogg think about my relationship with women, the unacknowledged misogyny and others colonial issues I'm still dealing with in realizing that, my thoughts on the Uvalde tragedy lead to my most recent ZUCC'ing on The Gram, and how this in itself is another example of the war on our consciousness these ghouls are waging. 
It's all good though cuz no matter what happen 'they' will never win - they can censor us, take us off their social media platforms, and so on, but it won't matter cuz in the end we have the only thing that matters; L O V E.

The Unknowing

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode, I'm digging back into more Nahuatl philosophy and how it's helped get me through the dark days that have haunted me in the wake of my brother's passing.
It aint all doom and gloom though, as in this philosophy, there's an underlying message of hope that offers - me certainly - comfort in knowing that all things are impermanent, and that is ok.

Run It Back 1

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode, I'm flipping the script entirely and bringing you something a little different than before.
I've spoken before about my desire to do a podcast where I talk less philosophy and more current events, and this is my first episode doing so. It's still got all the same type of shit you've come to expect from this podcast - philosophy, conspiracies, and so on - but rather than doing deep dives, I'm talking the events of this past week as filtered through a philosophic lens. 
In this first episode, I'm talking abortion, the crypto catastrophe and how it's just one of many examples of the fallout of the current state of our global economy, government over reach, Elon and, how corporations are extensions of the US government, and so much more.

Prison Planet 2 - Human Capital

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and I'm throwing a wrench in the gears on this episode of the podcast by visiting Alison McDowell's thoughts on human capital.
We've known the technocrats and masters of mankind have long desired the power to control us, but this latest development takes our worse nightmares of how they could do so and makes them a reality. I'm talking social credit scores, data extraction for profit generation, the complete hacking of our human essence, and so much more. The good news is we are not powerless to fight against this, all we have to do is reclaim the most precious real estate - our brains - to defang these fools who would see us in chains.

Being Unto Death 3

What's good world, we back from the crypt with more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode of the podcast, I'm getting back onto another existential trip to talk philosophy, current events and, you know, life.
I'm picking up with the philosophy of Heidegger to explain how easy it is to fall into these unreflective cycles that strip us of the ability to make the choices necessary to bring about an authentic life on our end. Reductive Western materialists MF's will tell us this aint possible cuz of the the laws of physics and the problem of free will, and maybe they're right - or maybe that in an of itself is just another way we keep ourselves from taking responsibility for the radical freedom we have.

Heart Like A Grave

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode, I'm talking more shadow work and how philosophy can help us get through the bleakest of times.
This episode is mad existential; not in the sense that I'm discussing a particular existential philosopher, per se, so much as in I am picking up many of the issues existentialism is concerned with and applying them confront the elephant in the room - that we've been negatively programmed in 'they' schools to ensure this world we're living in remains in tact.
This may be good for the people who benefit from it, but for the rest of us, it leads to alienation, technology invasion, inebriation, relief-based satiation and fallen states of desperation.
This don't have to be the default, though - we can recover our existence and make our lives and potentially even the world a better place.

Tales Of Terror

What's good world, we back from the crypt with some more of that hood philosophy shit, and on this episode, we're crawling deep into the underbelly of horror.
The horror genre has made quite the splash in pop culture lore as of late, and yet despite that, it remains one of the most overlooked sources of philosophical insight available to us.
Yeah, you can read the existentialist to gain feelings of hope, strength, and promise, or you can watch IT and learn that all these (and more) are within us - sometimes all it takes is a littler terror for them to be revealed.
