On this outstanding podcast, our host explores the mystical philosophy of every one's favorite theorem: the Pythagorean theorem.

While you may know that A squared plus B squared equals C squared, you probably don't know that Pythagoras was a full-on cult leader that married himself to children, killed his insubordinates, and got an entire village to burn his commune down.

Tune in for magic numbies, more true crime, and to find out why Pythagoras hated farting.

what happens to the child king?

On this digestion, we are recapping the philosophy employed by humanity through the last millennium: the years 1000-2000, how history's kings tended to cease power and how the island of the not-so-United-Kingdom inspired the iconic HBO series Game of Thrones.

Van Life (and death) of Socrates Part II: Law and Order

"I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it; I underestimated just who I was dealing with!

The Senate's gonna find:

Stealing other people's rights on the playground

Won't make you many friends

They should keep in mind, / They should keep in mind

There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha"

-Socrates, The Apology

Part I of II

The Van Life and Death of Socrates episodes chronicle the words and wisdom of the OG western philosopher Socrates, the ugly. We're gonna touch on the spirit world; Socrates' producer, Plato; and their creative network, "the academy."

But first we focus on the values behind getting a van down by the river, why they are timeless and tied to Socrates, and how the philosophy of the van is eventually what would lead to Socrates Execution.

This episode touches on his worldly travels, adventures with a magic oracle, and the origins of Van Life as we know it today.
