What's up ya'll, we back in this bad boy with another podcast, and this time I'm joined via Skype by one of my closest homies and fellow working-stiff Mike Carrero to discuss D'Evils plaguing society, the government, capitalism, human nature, and... ayahuasca?  Yeah, something like that.  Anyways, this weeks intro/outro music is 'Dance With The Devil' by the great Immortal Technique - I was actual...

So a Muslim and a Xicano sit down hood philosophize, right, and come to the conclusion that as awesome as both those things are, they're ultimately nothing more than one of the many layers keeping us from seeing the Truth.

Utilizing the allegory of the cave, I demonstrate the positive ways philosophy can help guide us through the long journey of overcoming the obstacles this trauma introduces into our lives - namely those which manifest in the form of self-destructive patterns of behavior - and...

No, I aint dead yet, ya boy was just taking a quick break to enjoy this beautiful trip called life.  I'm back though, and in this episode, I describe how J. Cole's incisive insights on his track 'Fire Squad' have me reconsidering my initial contempt for the series finale of Game of Thrones.

Everyone loves a dragon, until it's time to do dragon shit. Beware of spoilers, as in this podcast, I take a break from all the 'real world' drama and delve into the fantasy land drama of Game of Thrones to explain the philosophy behind why Queen Danerys Targaryen is the baddest MF'er walking the Seven Kingdoms, especially after burning down King's Landing. It's philosophy with a twist, my G. 

It's been a steady war on the Indigenous People of Turtle Island since the moment of European contact - And now they've found a way to further monetize it via the for-profit prison industry? The good news is that hood philosophy can provide us with the critical tools necessary to overcome even the most subtle forms of fuckery. Stay woke...

The burning of the Notre Dame Cathedral is no more of a tragedy than the burning of all the sacred Indigenous temples on Turtle Island and around the world. Edit: I re-uploaded this podcast, as the previous version was cut short. 

Jordan Peterson is out here wildin', there's a reason postmodernism is so prominent in academia, and his polemic attacks will never change that fact. Him, and people like him, are the reason we're stuck in this limbo between what we are and what we can be, and hood philosophy is here to push us forward.

In this episode, I discuss Presidents Trump's visit to the Sun City,  and put the sneak tip conservativism of this city on blast for failing to live up to its allegedly liberal agenda. President Obama is the focal point of the hypocrisy that drives the political thought in this city, and I address this fact by explaining the logical fallacy of hasty generalization. In the words of the great Ill Bi...

In this episode, I introduce the first of many logical fallacies, and demonstrate the ways in which they are utilized to disrupt and deceive. It's a tricky world out there, and we will get caught slipping if we don't stay on our 1-2...
