In Part 1 of this episode, Kris and I discuss the invention of childhood from the perspective of time and sexuality. Is being a child denoted strictly by preparing for adulthood? Is adulthood a prison?

In Part 2 we continue our discussion of archetypes and characters, with a deep dive into the quantum mechanics of the tarot and the aesthetic quality of nostalgia. Are we touching parallel worlds?

Kris also has a great recounting of his recent dream, which connects with a formative moment from my past.

Part 1:

Scientific Uncertainty / Prison of Adulthood / Algorithmic Control / Cultural Cognitive Dissonance

Part 2:
