The Truman Show is about you. It's about how you deal with the pursuit of truth in a world with a long history of killing the messenger. It's about how you deal with suffering, whether you choose the stagnant suffering of avoiding risk or the meaningful suffering that comes from accepting it. Even though this movie came out before social media and reality TV, it's about how you deal with being you when 15-minute fame and public personas are the norm. The Truman Show is ultimately about the freedom required to become yourself—a True-Man—and the cost of freedom that many can't bear to pay. ◬ Watch the full episode: Solitude, Socrates, and Censorship or: How to Be a True-Man (https://youtu.be/uO5tdkjYPsM). ◬ This episode is free, but members of the Silver Eye Society get every weekly episode plus a civilized space to discuss philosophy, society, mythology, and more on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/silvereyesociety). ◬ Listen to the podcast via: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0os9rvFzt9EyjPzman9Wjf?si=praMX_amS8yOW2J5V8uzjA&dl_branch=1 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3dff262e-dfc9-43f2-99d8-9889c8212e15/Silver-Eye-Society Tune-In: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Philosophy-Podcasts/Silver-Eye-Society-p1421374/ Podbean: https://silvereyesociety.podbean.com/ ◬ Watch your beloved speakers slowly go insane publicly: Salomé Sibonex: https://www.instagram.com/salomesibonex/ Justin A.W.

Is Rambo a masterpiece of poetic screenwriting? No. Is Rambo a crucial piece of the cultural canon and a snapshot of the US opening the Pandora's box of institutional mistrust that was born of the Vietnam war? Undoubtedly. Would Rambo be leading the #DefundThePolice movement today? Maybe. Beyond understanding a historic war that forever changed modern warfare, at the core of Rambo is an anti-institution, pro-individual philosophy. If you understand Rambo, you'll understand the way war changes both a country and an individual. ◬ Join the Silver Eye Society to get this exclusive episode and every other weekly episode plus a civilized space to discuss philosophy, society, mythology, and more on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/silvereyesociety). ◬ Listen to the podcast via: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0os9rvFzt9EyjPzman9Wjf?si=praMX_amS8yOW2J5V8uzjA&dl_branch=1 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3dff262e-dfc9-43f2-99d8-9889c8212e15/Silver-Eye-Society Tune-In: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Philosophy-Podcasts/Silver-Eye-Society-p1421374/ Podbean: https://silvereyesociety.podbean.com/ ◬ Watch your beloved speakers slowly go insane publicly: Salomé Sibonex: https://www.instagram.com/salomesibonex/ Justin A.W.

A horror movie from the 90s, with all its 90s tropes and limitations, still gets to the root of an ancient question: what lies in the realm beyond rationality? Besides all the biblical stuff, Jacob's Ladder brings the concerns of mystics to modernity. We talk about the border between the awful and awesome, what the dark night of the soul really is, why intellect alone isn't enough to answer ancient questions, and the dark side of collectivism. ◬ Full Episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EReFtVPxb4E ◬ This episode is free, but members of the Silver Eye Society get every weekly episode plus a civilized space to discuss philosophy, society, mythology, and more on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/silvereyesociety). ◬ Listen to the podcast via: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0os9rvFzt9EyjPzman9Wjf?si=praMX_amS8yOW2J5V8uzjA&dl_branch=1 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3dff262e-dfc9-43f2-99d8-9889c8212e15/Silver-Eye-Society Tune-In: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Philosophy-Podcasts/Silver-Eye-Society-p1421374/ Podbean: https://silvereyesociety.podbean.com/ ◬ Watch your beloved speakers slowly go insane publicly: Salomé Sibonex: https://www.instagram.com/salomesibonex/ Justin A.W.
