Interviewing John Carter and Russell Gmirkin

A MindMatters Interlude of Epic Proportions

Just in case any of my readers aren’t already subscribed to John Carter (Postcards from Barsoom), you may not know I interviewed him recently on MindMatters (along with my co-hosts, including Luc over at LucTalks)—and you should really head over there and subscribe post-haste.

We had as much fun talking to him as you would expect, which is to say, loads of fun were had by all. So please, especially considering the reverse-time-dilation-stabilization costs alone to establish a decent connection with Barsoom, you really should take advantage of this opportunity to avail yourselves of your portion of that fun, join in, and have a listen. And share it with a friend, because sharing is caring:

John wrote a post inspired by part of that conversation, which you can read here:

A Conspiracy of Systems, A System of Conspiracies

And the piece of my own which I referenced has now been published here:

The Psychology of Totalitarianism Part 4

Prior to that, as promised, we also interviewed Russell Gmirkin about his new book, Plato’s Timaeus and the Biblical Creation Accounts.

Russell is always a blast and we reached previously unheard levels of eudaimonia discussing Plato, cosmic monotheism, terrestrial polytheism, Judaism as the first real belief system (and Marxism-Leninism as its latest great success), and why Plato and Kim Jong-Un might’ve been besties if not for the age gap.
