We also discuss his suggestion that a "divorce" between Unitarians and Universalists might be necessary.

Next week: Philosopher Queens with Rebecca and Lisa
I had to write this review because I'm part of the void cult. Aaron and GW are some of the best guys around and they actively do their best to be fair to every side of an argument even if they disagree with it. I particularly like the Better Know a Philosopher series, where it turns out every philosopher ever has a very "voidy" past. In times like these it's good to hear folks talking about important topics without spending the whole time ranting angrily. I blame this show for my now fairly firm belief in determinism and moral objectivity
Aaron and GW are thoughtful, humorous, and dark af, but in times like these, that is precisely what the doctor has ordered! When the disturbing turns of this dumpster-fire get you down, the best thing you can do is stare into it and embrace it. With equal parts wit and intellectual rigor, Embrace the Void delves deep into the darkest parts of politics, media, technology, social issues, and, most importantly, philosophy, to make sense of the world around us and help us navigate towards our best selves amidst the ever clutching tendrils of Azathoth.
