A discussion of money, mythology, and historical narratives
Corrupt adults from Ikebukuro
In this episode, we reflect on the rise and evolution of Bitcoin, tracing its roots as a countercultural response to the 2008 financial crisis. The conversation explores the parallels between the creation of digital currency and historical forms of money, from unwieldy Spartan iron currency to hyperinflation in modern economies. Along the way, we examine the cultural narratives tied to warrior societies like the Spartans and their portrayal in modern media, questioning the myths and realities of ancient civilizations.
We delve into the peculiarities of societal control and identity, from the rituals of Spartan hierarchy to the controversial works of Frank Miller and the influence of 19th-century occult movements like Theosophy. The discussion meanders into conspiracy theories, existential pessimism from Schopenhauer, and how cultural and historical narratives shape our understanding of society and progress.
From speculating on the origins of our worldviews to indulging in Japan's quirky snacks, we take an irreverent yet thoughtful look at how cultural and historical echoes influence modern identity.
