Mic Check: Turn Me Up Some

What's good world, we're back after a short break with some more of that gangsta ass hood philosophy shit.
On this episode of the podcast, we're talking healing from childhood trauma, moving up out the hood while still being haunted by it, and the connection between the simulation theory and conspiracies.
Stay woke fam, st's been a wild two months since our last podcast, and the start of the collapse of the American Empire kicked into high gear since then - this is only the beginning, so learn to read the symbols that make up the rules for the simulation so you can stay ahead of the game...

Being Unto Death - The Ethics Of Care

What's good world, we're back with some more hood philosophy, and in this episode we're looking to shake ourselves out of our state of fallenness with some Heideggerian ethics of care. 
Authenticity is the name of the game here, and Heidegger tells us that we all choose our existence - whether by taking hold or neglecting our fate - and whether we want to acknowledge this or not won't change the fact that we're ultimately responsible for the outcome. 
And I don't know about you boi, but me personally, I'm not content with just adopting the default mode of Being, no matter how easy doing so may be.
Stay woke fam... 
 
 

Being Unto Death

What's good world, we're back with some more of that bust yo' shit open type hood philosophy, and on this episode, we're talking the notorious NAZI, Marin Heidegger. 
Now don't get me twisted, this aint no NAZI apologist nonsense.
In fact, I wrestled with the idea of doing a Heidegger podcast for quite some time until I realized - yo, real shit, all of western philosophy is guilty of supporting ideologies that endorse holocaust and genocide.
So why should I not fuck with Heidegger when the rest of western philosophy aint going to disavow the intellectual, spiritual, and/or actual physical ancestor of the people that committed the largest unspoken holocaust of human history on Turtle Island, and the entirety of our understanding of reality that's built on their beliefs?We're talking complete de-linking and decolonization here homeboy, and the reality is that the little bit of Heideggerian philosophy I do talk is nothing more than derivative of that Nahuatl philosophy that's in my blood. 
So tune in - I'm talking anxiety, dread, the 'fear' of death, and the ensuing depression that emerges from confronting the limited amount of time we have in this dimension to live an authentic life.

The Birth of Tragedy Part 2

What's good world, we're back with another podcast aimed at slaying the dragon that is the cult of personality that birthed Dr. Jordan Peterson. 
Although homeboy stormed the scene a few years back, the reality is that his quest to save Western civilization is a process started by his conservative counterparts many years back. 
In this episode, I trace the history of this movement, as well as highlight the ways that real leftists - not those fake-woke joke social justice warriors - have combatted this trend. 
No more has the battle been more pronounced than in institutional learning facitilities, for what is at stake is nothing less than the ability to influence, inform, and outright shape the public opinion necessary to maintain cultural hegemony.

Society of the Spectacle

What's good world, we're back in short order with some more hood philosophy, and on this episode of the podcast, I introduce a little critical theory to get the mind right and help us stay woke to the constant ways the machine tries to hold us down, no matter how hard we rage against it.
It's the aim of critical theory to provide the masses with the intellectual tools necessary to unmask our oppressors in their unholiest of forms, and in this episode, I'm taking a page straight out of my lecture material in hopes of showcasing some of these tools and pantsing some of 'the oppressors'.
Using some critical theory, I'll be demonstrating how these authoritarian institutions we find ourselves enmeshed in during these pandemic times are seeking to continue a long-standing tradition of subjecting us to the wrath of bureaucratically administered mass societies that integrate and obliterate in the possibility of genuine individuality.
Don't go quietly into that good night, my G, S T A Y W O K E and keep on fighting that good fight...
Edit - I originally published an audio file with some errors in it, I've updated it since to hopefully make for better listening. 

The Birth Of Tragedy Part 1

What's good world, we're back with some more of that hood philosophy, and what better way to honor episode 36 than by getting wicked like three sixes?
In this episode, I'm bashing everyone's favorite dog-whistling Christian conservative Dr. Jordan Peterson, and explain why despite all the nonsense he's been talking, homeboy himself never even confronted his own dragon.
The misappropriation of Nietzschean philosophy is very real with Dr. Peterson, and being a Nietzsche Stan, you know I couldn't let that disrespect slide.
This is episode one of a larger series on Dr. Jordan Peterson, so stay tuned, but most importantly, S T A Y W O K E...

Starry Speculative Corpse

What's good world, we're back with another Grito, and on this episode, we're taking another crack at the rona, this time by questioning whether or not the utter demise of the human race is even a bad thing?
Opinions are just as vast in this field as are the conspiracies, and we're tackling them all with the same gangster ass hood philosophy that I hope you've come to expect.
Specifically, we touch the surface on pessimism, anti-natalism, and whether life - and consciousness - are really a gift, or if they're nothing more than a curse that we collectively choose to ignore so that we don't have to entertain the horror that lies just beneath the surface.

The Plague

Shit is getting real out on these skreetz, boi.
That Coronavirus is really out here canceling professional sporting events, and me personally, that's got me all up in my conspiratorial and philosophical feels.
Is it a biological weapon? Was it released to influence global markets and elections?
More importantly, who will survive, and what will be left of them?
Seems hyperbolic, but when we sit down and examine the effects of a pandemic from a natural law perspective, it's easy to see how quickly things can go sideways.

Why Study Philosophy?

What's good world, we're back with another podcast, and on this episode we're talking all the reasons why - and how - hood philosophy aint that academic nonsense philosophy.
When these gatekeeping fools out here publishing papers and presenting at conferences regarding the ethics of growing out facial hair, you KNOW there's a problem.
That problem is a disconnect between academia and the hood, and that's where hood philosophers like myself come in to show these clown what's really good.
Yeah, I could study philosophy to learn about whether I'm being unfaithful to my partner in an alternate universe by being with the partner I'm here with now, but I'd rather study hood philosophy to learn how Christianity is still to this day influencing entirely too much of our lives, to find gain the tools necessary to live a happier life, and so on.
So why should we study philosophy? Tune in and find out...

Prison Planet

What's good world, we're back with another podcast, and on this episode, I'm talking the 'conspiratorial' side of hood philosophy.
I scare quote it cuz, as I'll describe in the episode, this gets a bum wrap in many circles.
Most of it is justified, as some use conspiracies as a way to avoid critical thought - but in many instances, these 'conspiratorial insights - have uncovered some deeply troubling behavior by the people who run this thing that serves to strip us from a greater experience of reality.
The goal is to gain the critical thinking skills necessary to differentiate between the two so that we can stay on our 1-2 and not get caught up in the massive web of lies.
