Episode 188: Conceptual Mummies (Nietzsche's "Twilight of the Idols") - a podcast by Tamler Sommers & David Pizarro

Socrates was ugly and tired of life, so he made a tyrant of reason. Philosophers are mummies who hate the body and the senses. Reason is a tricky old woman. Morality is a misunderstanding. Kant is a sneaky Christian. And don't even get Nietzsche started on "free will" or the "self" - just excuse for priests to punish people, a hangman's metaphysics. David and Tamler dive into Friedrich Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, a fascinating set of aphorisms brimming with passion, provocation, questions without answers.
Plus, a professor is sanctioned for sex talk with his students - fair or coddling foul?
