Ep. 140 - Shooting the Shit: Letters, Pain, Memes, and Irony
In this Shooting the Shit episode, we begin with Bethany recounting her inspiration-filled week, which included the act of letter writing. Aaron had his wisdom teeth removed a few days prior to recording, and the lingering pain of that surgery directed his attention towards the inescapablness of the bodily experience--Levinas and phenomenology are brought up, of course. We spend the last half of the episode on the vertiginousness of media in the"meme industry" and Gen Z irony as a critique of contemporary institutions, yet lacking genuineness.
