The Two Tongues Podcast

In this episode Kyle and Chris interview a self-described White Nationalist, let's call him Twitter John. John is a stranger to us, but was eager to have a public conversation about his beliefs.

We also discuss the connections between these mystic ideas and their contribution to the birth of modern science. Enjoy :)

Oh, interesting episode title. I wonder what it's about? Chris and Kyle catch up after Kyle's summer vacation.  Enjoy :)

In this episode Chris opened up Pandora's Box, so to speak, by trying to summarize the contributions of the Pre-Socratic philosophers to Plato's ideas. What he found instead was a treasure trove of mystic experiences (perhaps psychedelic) and reflections on the nature of God that scream of mystic intuition. What's more, is they rest as the foundations of all of the modern Western tradition! Enjoy...

Methinks there are many more collaborations in store for Josh and the Two...
