My tree has Jung, Hillman, and a fair bit of Bo Burnham.

What is class consciousness? Jan 20, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Peter Rollins and Elliott Morgan discuss the topic of class consciousness, and Pete explains a little about that pesky Marx guy who keeps cropping up in conversations. By explaining how contradiction is inherent within the system of capitalism, Rollins offers interesting insights into our current predicaments. And Elliott, never to be one-upped, just kinda sits there. Good job, Elliott.

Diddy, Death Doctors, and Different Kinds of Evil Oct 18, 2024

Show notes

Oh, didn't expect a new episode of the Fundamentalists on a Friday? Well, folks, we've had this in the can for a second but only because I've (Elliott've) been in Florida fighting for MY LIFE! All is well, though, don't worry, and Pete and I will be back to our irregularly scheduled programming next week. Do you like these on Fridays? Let us know! In the meantime, let's talk about Diddy, a doctor of mine who killed a guy, Batman, some philosophy-- so honestly all of my favorite topics.

What The Hegel?! Sep 22, 2024

Show notes

Some people spend decades studying Hegel and never quite get what he was talking about. Well, we've decided to explain him - in his entirety - in about an hour. This is sarcasm. Mostly.

Indecision and the Rise of Relational Capitalism Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, Elliott and Peter discuss the modern world of dating, including brand-new concepts like relational feudalism and relational capitalism. It might be one of our best episodes yet. Or it might not be.

What is "the ick"? Sep 08, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we discuss the term "the ick," used to describe a sudden change of perspective in which the formerly positive is perceived as negative with few or zero intermediary stages. I don't understand it either.

Are You Only Where You're From? Sep 01, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we discuss how place plays a pretty large role in who you become, how you think, and what you believe. In fact, is that all there is to it? Do we even have the capacity for original thought? I know I personally don't, I just mean in a more abstract way. You get it.

What is Alchemy? Dec 10, 2023

Show notes

For more information about alchemy, we do not recommend looking to the alchemists. Because who knows what they were talking about?! Please check out Jeffrey Raff's "Jung and the Alchemical Imagination," or James Hillman's "The Alchemy of Psychology," which is available in audio form on Spotify.

If you wanna feel REALLY alchemized, head to http://patreon.com/thefundamentalists. It is one of the few Patreons where you get less for more.

You know how many alchemists died because they blew themselves up? It's higher than zero, I'll tell ya that.
