Pill Pod 56 - Structuralism is a Lie!? (Exclusive)
Added 2021-10-01 12:00:00 +0000 UTCErik brings a shocking discovery to the Pill Pod, oh yea and what the hell is structuralism anyway?
This is the last line of the edited Course in General Linguistics:
"La linguistique a pour unique et véritable objet la langue envisagée en elle-même et pour elle-même"
translated as
"The only true object of study in linguistics is the language, considered in itself and for its own sake"

I listened to the first episode in the series before subscribing here. Stoked to join the discussion here. The opening was fucking hilarious.

He’s hilarious though. Some of the shit he says on the show makes me laugh inappropriately in public lol. Someone needs to make Thickly Metaphysical Dildos, Inc.

2021-10-27 21:23:26 +0000 UTCThis was great! Love it when you folks zoom out and do overviews of the history of philosophy. The distinctions between some of the alternatives to structuralism were insightful. And lol good call keeping Matt out of this one. I don't wanna be mean. He's a smart guy. But he takes up waaaay too much space. Specially on the first of the Deleuze vs Zizek episodes (haven't listened to the second yet) there was so much interrupting and airtime hogging. I was like "can we get Erik's take on this?" and sure enough when Erik finally spoke at the end we got a more interesting analysis. Maybe you need to use a timer. Tell Matt upfront he's getting 15 minutes total airtime and it starts counting down everytime he speaks haha.
