Propaganda is necessary for governments, and you crave it. So says Jacques Ellul in chapter 3 of "Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes." Aside from the objective necessity of Propaganda to the modern state, Ellul's hatred of the psychology of cities, and some struggle sessioning as to the hosts psychological triggers, the boys find some time to rant about DC's 12 seasons, passport bureaucrats, and street tacos portion size. Have a listen!

425 The Problem with..."Street Tacos and Propaganda, Part 4"

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant's work, The Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics.

Specifically it focuses on his discussion in the Third Part Of The Transcendental Problem: How is metaphysics in general possible? Specifically this bears upon the third and fourth of the antinomies Kant discusses in that section, which he calls "dynamical" antinomies

This lecture discusses the medieval Christian thinker, monk, and bishop, Anselm of Canterbury's work, the Proslogion, and focuses on his discussion in chapters 3 and 4 of the being of God, which Anselm has argued in chapter 2 can be demonstrated , beginning from the formula "that that which nothing greater can be thought" (quo maius cogitari non potest). In chapter 3, Anselm further argues that God cannot be thought not to exist, which then raises a question about how the Biblical Fool is able to say in his heart that there is no God. This is resolved in chapter 4, where Anselm makes a distinction between two modes of "thinking"

The Necessity To Be Proficient In Multiple Languages - Ep.  #287, Cesar Luna, Luna Electric

In this episode, David Burnell reflects on two of the most powerful words we can live by: remember and necessity. Drawing from years of operational experience in military service, rescue missions, and running the Urban Warfare Center, David shares how the principle of necessity—identifying and acting on the single most important next step—can cut through chaos and bring clarity.

From high-pressure tactical training to navigating today’s noisy, overstimulated world, necessity becomes the compass that points us toward what truly matters—whether it’s political action, personal restoration, or simply drinking a glass of water. Through vivid stories and hard-earned lessons, David challenges listeners to strip away the unnecessary and focus on what will make the greatest difference, right now.
