Description

closing out the last section of the book with death, entropy, and thwarted ambitions:


  • Why David Deutsch wouldn't approve of Houellebecg

  • True artists impose their vision upon the world

  • Sacred values and euthanasia

  • Should kanye get back on his meds


Not sure why the audio cuts off abruptly at the end but it does feel appropriate
