Oct 18 2024 66 mins  
Oh, didn't expect a new episode of the Fundamentalists on a Friday? Well, folks, we've had this in the can for a second but only because I've (Elliott've) been in Florida fighting for MY LIFE! All is well, though, don't worry, and Pete and I will be back to our irregularly scheduled programming next week. Do you like these on Fridays? Let us know! In the meantime, let's talk about

What The Hegel?!

Sep 22 2024 57 mins

Are You Only Where You're From?

Sep 01 2024 71 mins  
In this episode, we discuss how place plays a pretty large role in who you become, how you think, and what you believe. In fact, is that all there is to it? Do we even have the capacity for original thought? I know I personally don't, I just mean in a more abstract way. You get it. **The Fundamentalists** is available here: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fundame

This episode of The Fundamentalists is brought to you by the death drive, and we absolutely kill it. I mean, we murder this episode.
