ABOUT THIS EPISODE
With the American midterm elections looming this weeks, a final analysis of Sober October compels the boys to ruminate on the value of ruminating. In times of societal decline—like the one we appear to be living through right now—how does one safeguard mental health? Brian suggests carefully curating the contents of the mind, while Nate advocates for embracing the decline. Then, a Dave Smith clip about housing prices sparks discussion about the necessity of a wealth tax. Finally, the boys discuss the ancient conflict between ego and sacrifice that has delivered us to the present moment.
