Rod and Kale sit down to discuss the
conspicuous displays of the anniversary of January 6th, and the
power of political liturgies to manufacture consensus. Should
January 6th be mentioned in the same breath as Pearl Harbor and
9/11? What motivates the public displays of our media class? What
really happened, and who controls what we ultimately think about
it?
They go on to discuss:
the rhyming of January 6 with the Gunpowder Plot
how do you know if you've been captured by your own
script?
what do our "priors" reveal and obscure to us?
are these public scripts controllable, and how will the CCP
fare?
the "incentives code" and the Soviet Union and contemporary
China
scapegoating of the "unvaxxed" and the precursors to soft
totalitarianism
