i think its better to do it next sunday, and do the podcasts every 2 weeks
definitely a fan. like what you guys are doing, just a small suggestion, let the discussions flesh out a bit... it seems like sometimes you guys cut them short in order to move on when no ground was really made...

No. What we've been doing is speaking on current relevant issues and debates as they pertain to conditions of people in the world and using them as starting points to debate larger issues and ideologies in regard to social relations and governance. That allows people to give their unique perspectives based on their experiences and discuss how we're all being affected these matters.
If we're debating basic philosophical concepts like the existence or non-existence of free will, we'd all just be regurgitating arguments from Aquinas, Locke, Luther, etc. Plus it would be boring and no one would give a fukk.
And I'm not downplaying the importance of philosophy by any means. I used to be a philosophy junkie when I was younger and I think it's important for people to know the philosophical foundations of their belief systems...far too many people don't. I'm not just not too interested in discussing it, and none of us would be able to make better arguments than the GOAT philosophers who have already pored over these matters.
I'd still do it if others want to, though. I'd have to dust off my bookshelf. I love philosophy. I doubt the listeners want to here us talk about these questions. Unless it's religion. I'm always down to shyt on religion.

Won't be able to do it at 2pm. I could do it that night, but I think we should give a week rest.
I think we should plan for Sunday the 22nd @9pm est. I agree with twism, every two weeks and make it a long program each time...like two hours. Maybe 9pm can be the default time but we can work around it to suit it to peoples' schedules if possible. Say for instance Zerozero says he can only do it 7:30 not 9, we can talk about it amongst ourselves and maybe move it up to 7:30.
So fukkers, we got 8 days to prepare for this...no excuses. Who up for Sunday the 22nd? Will 9 pm work?
*dust off the old philosophy book*
i couldnt disagree more. i think the live stream is critical so that everyone can interact in real time.
truth be told we should be maximizing our live interactions with the listeners as much as possible.
ideally we should have a clean way for people to call into the show, from their cell phone or cpu.
we should also be having chat rooms where people can essentially participate in an ongoing community instant message with each other, and us, as the show is going on.
the more you can maximize on interactions between listeners and hosts the better the overall experience is for everybody.
but we gotta take baby steps... lets focus on getting our logistics and our organizational game up first
im wit it, we need at least a third person though
i dont think it would be anything like that. im not gonna get into a big long response about it, but i think that there's lots of room for originality in philosophical discussions.
for starters each moment is brand new, and with that brings new things. we are living in a space in time that NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, so that alone makes our perspective unique. every moment produces a new opportunity for new perspectives because new events and new experiences are created in each new moment. im not tryna go too far down the rabbit hole here so i hope this makes sense.
so i guess everyone should just stop talking about philosophy altogether then
i gotta admit im in the opposite camp in terms of scheduling. i actually think we need to be doing two shows a week.
a more metaphysical show in the middle of the week, and then a more political-current event-concrete topics type show like we've been doing on sundays. you gotta remember i come from the harry potter school of alchemy so i wanna be talking about enlightenment, spirituality, mental and emotional patterns, social conditioning, health and wellness, self-improvement, meditation, manifestation and magic
and all that type shyt. thats my real shyti like what we've been doing so far, but even with this current events-political-economic-education-concrete topics format i dont think we are doing these topics justice. i think we do too many current events, and i dont think we go deep enough on the important topics (economics, education, politics, etc), and really flush out the different layers like RickyGQ was saying above.
i also think we have to start getting creative with how we present and exchange information on the show. one example would be like an around the horn or pti format. granted those arent very creative formats but im just trying to give a concrete example.
im not putting us down this is just my perspective.
and again, we gotta crawl before we walk... and right now we just need to get consistent with the technical logistics.
if folks really wanna wait until next week we can do that, but lets at least be constructive with our time and get shyt organized early
