rcky84Great podcast.Really enjoy the content. Thanks, Pills and Co.

Mr.Clark's👏🏽🤓Easily one of the smartest pods regarding social thought. Hats off, gentlemen..!
-
Guitarplayer >4yrsAnother anti-dialectical podcastEveryone here is very smart and knowledgable. But the Hegelian E-girl ep shows that it’s totally static or suspended. No real thought is happening it’s just the appearance of it. They talked about dialectics but didn’t really engage in it
-
GRAND1NQUISITORS3LL OUTS! ¡¡CRINGE!!Why are they’re advertisements on the pods? One of my favorite podcasts out there, very informative and interesting. However why the advertisements all of sudden?

Jack DelotteA reminder of what sanity remains…Neoliberal postmodernism or whatever corrosively dissolute soup of culture and capitalism that we inhabit today is… trying to the mind of a middle aged autistic fellow such as myself. Decades of blue collar employment (infrastructure) means my daily intake of humanity is saturated with the softcore fascism of the Trump right… this podcast is a salve for my aching brain parts- a reminder that there are still people doing real thinking outside the trampoline act of partisan political theater. This crew is doing God’s Work 👍🏼👍🏼😂

onehundredemojiHighly RecommendAppreciate everything Plastic Pills creates, though Victor tends to slow down the convos a bit 😴 especially when it came to missing a lot of the points around the Situationist International

bjohns383Pretty GoodBut Kant was never so naive. I’m guessing you guys know better, but recently you made it sound like Kant thought we could just „choose“ every thought that passed through our minds. Of course, Kant never said any such thing (has anyone?!?). And I’m sure y’all know that he wrote and lectured extensively on „practical anthropology.“ He was well aware of the passions; the goal is just not to be a slave to them. (If there is a „fact of reason“ it’s buried down deep beneath a confounded and passionate psyche)

GggggggggamefanAmazing podcastLeaving a review since that jerkwad below face one star for the pill pod simply having someone on with a different opinion than his. Hope he escapes his echo chamber ❤️
-
dchan578FantasticJust one constructive criticism, could you maybe try a behavior mod experiment and give Matt a jolt every time he punctuates one of his bloviating sentences with “right?” it’s brutal. Otherwise carry on gents.

Prison-tiktokSometimes hits sometimes missesUsually love this podcast but just listened to the episode with Ashley Frawley and I cannot understand why someone would invest so much time and consideration in a term they don’t deem useful (happiness) when they could be sussing out these ideas with the useful terms in psychoanalytic critical theory. It doesn't take a brilliant marxist to see that corporations have weaponized the language of psychology. How insanely privileged and naive do you have to be to completely disregard the reality of trauma? Hate to burst her bubble but traumatic experiences are not "sooo malleable". Even after the hosts ever so generously try and guide her to reflect on psychoanalytic discourse she clings to a medicalization straw-man. So nice that Ashley got to decide to be a rational subject LOL! Back to the drawing board...please read some Lacan.

Writer wayTheory student approvesGraduated 2018 with my undergrad in literature. Hungry for more theory since graduation day I’ve read Zadie Smith for fun and my podcast evolution went from Joe Rogan to Jordan Peterson and his daughter and here I am on my 5th episode of Pills. I still do not know the names of these guys or which one is speaking or where they lean. Though I am acting out Roland Barthes ‘kill the author’ concept, I deeply trusted the Pills’ opposing views on episode “Do not go to grad school.” I am in the process of grad school admissions now and I appreciated each opinion expressed on why or why not to attend university. I went in knowing I’d be giving my soul away during school and came out being reminded, but in a constructive way that also allowed me to not forget the job market is unstable, university is a business and curiosity must outweigh a life insurances worth of debt. If you miss the classroom and need some name drops to remind you why theory must live, listen to Pills.

Spencer Van SheepyC’monThey invited on a guest who claimed that reading Nietzsche and Heidegger could turn you into a fascist

dubyyellowMy favorite Lefty PodcastThis is my favorite Podcast from a Leftist perspective. Pills, Victor, and co. Do a great job making complex theories understandable for the lay man like myself. Topics range from theory, philosophy, psychology and politics.

oldskool skateratUseful and ClearThank you for being clear on complex, philosophical topics. I still need help though. I’ve struggled with what I think of as the distinction between quantifiable, Einsteinian space / time and qualitative, Bergsonian duration ever since I was made aware of the distinction. Please, continue to cover this. Maybe I need more connections and examples. I didn’t understand the example that you used of the man who couldn’t form memories becoming somehow, bodily aware that his father had past, but I think that must be an important one. I’ve also never understood the example that Bergson himself gives of the famous twin paradox, in which Bergson claims that this paradox does not show the relativity of time because if the twins were to be interviewed after their journey, their experience of time would have been subjectively basic or something like that. I don’t get it, so I don’t really know how to articulate it. Thanks for all you do.
