In 85 episode, we discuss recent extreme weather, how much ‘rejection of technology’ is reasonable, what technology keeps you from learning, and attending Mass by candlelight.
In 86 episode, we chat about soft communism, weaning yourself from the comforts of urban life, and fasting. We continue our community vs family conversation, making a case for owning a bigger home, bodies needing space, and the duty to teach your children.
