Episode Notes

How does one self-actualize under the regime of capital and wage relations? Squander your youth and vigor on the menial tasks dictated to you by your boss and employer - that ought to make you feel fulfilled, right?

Kyle and Phil discuss the tippy-top of that pyramid in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Self Actualization. After dispensing with physiological and psychological needs, one finds oneself at the gates of true fulfillment. However, even when the most essential demands of human life are met, capital and the alienation it causes demand the sacrifice of our ability to be our best selves - unless it turns a profit. Join us in our rambling journey towards finding a f*cking purpose to all this.

Phil and Kyle would also like to give a shout out to those of us still in the streets fighting for the rights of Palestinians and those fighting for justice and abolition of the American police state. The best way to show solidarity with those struggling against the American empire is to struggle against the empire at home.
