We have arrived at another season finale and the last episode of the year. It is a fascinating exploration of lost and repressed phronesis, book burnings and a systemic rewriting of history as old as history itself. We will find out about the deep linguistic theories about a Borean communist homeland beyond the shit coating of ariosophy as we go looking for the oldest calendars, the oldest constellations, clocks, sail and the oldest words.
I will have a go at Jung, challenge some rocket scientists, tell dark winter ghost stories about the first plantations in China, analyse the material power of Jupiter and Saturn with the help of 19th century forgotten astronomers. Tell you a tale about what I have seen on old Babylonians cylinder seals and the Sistine Chappel regarding why we show up for work on Mondays.
I am going back to Europe for Christmas and New Years to meet old friends and family. Thus rather than splitting this last episode up in 3 smaller episodes you will get it all as one giant conclusion and cliffhanger which you can split up at your own will until we return again at the end of January. I don't know if that's the best way to do it in order to keep an interest in the show alive, but I've seen in the "end of the year statistics" that you dear listeners have been sharing the show like crazy on sms, WhatsApp, twitter and so on, which makes me so happy that I am sure you will be here when i get back.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Marcus!
