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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes when I listen to Run The Jewels, certain lyrics stick out more than others. Like when Killer Mike says, "I'm reading Chomsky." Who's Chomsky? I can't ask Killer Mike, so I asked the next best person: Killer Peter Rollins.
