Listen "Episode 21: Moby-Dick, Cosmopolitanism, and American Whiteness"
Episode Synopsis
In the best episode to date, you'll hear our boy Hubert Dreyfus along with some stuff about the Enlightenment, but mainly, just take huge quaffs of straight up literary, philosophical, and metaphysical TRUTH... or at least, hear good questions about those, including: is Captain Ahab really an okay guy, maybe, in some ways? Ahem. There's lots of talk about whether Moby-Dick is gay (it is Romantic and Hellenic, not gay) and whether the whiteness of the whale is really because Sperm Whales are Anglo-Saxon. Seriously, just thank me, even if you can't do the Patreon. I'm going to be the Jordan Peterson of 2029 at this pace.
