We begin the episode by discussing whether or not we would take a job writing comics for DC or Marvel if it meant we could no longer create our own original content. After that, we welcome a special guest to the show.

#123: Should You Reread Books?
Tuesday Jan 17, 2023
Tuesday Jan 17, 2023
This was supposed to be a DBS episode, but we stayed on topic the whole time. We kick things off by discussing Lex Fridman's recent book list controversy. After that, we have a long conversation about the importance of rereading books.
We go over the stress caused by the desire to constantly read new books, thus ignoring any possible rereading of work, and how that might not be the best way to enrich your life through reading. There is a solid conclusion reached in this one.

Today we go deep into the muck and grime of modern content creation. We discuss in detail the mediocrity of modern art, movies, literature, and comic books, as well as how we got to this point.
It's not a complete bitch fest, though. We also bring up some outliers that are artistically innovative and unique.
