Listen "Episode 24: Dostoevsky, Contrarianism, and the Threat of Utopian Scientism"
Episode Synopsis
This provocative episode features a nice audio drop from Douglas Rushkoff and Duncan Trussell, as well as obscure references to 2010 articles published in the New York Times -- but the main thing is, we read chunks from Dostoevsky's (Dostoyevsky's) "Notes from Underground," and we try to figure out what's so interesting about the main character. It definitely has something to do with atheism and modernism, but there are even more subtle psychological things going on here, and this episode tries to communicate some of them. Plus, there's a funny visual joke at the end.
