There's a lot going on in this episode. We open things with a quick reading from Alan Moore's Jerusalem. This is so you can feel a twinge of Caleb's pain as he works through the book.
We discuss the importance of developing a creative work-life balance but end up ranting on numerous topics such as capitalism, crappy jobs, religion, etc. All of which coincide with your creativity.

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.

In this episode, we are doing something different. We're playing a game! More specifically, Name That Author!
The rules of the game are simple. Caleb has given Spencer a long list of authors and as he reads a random excerpt from the work of those authors, it's up to Spencer to see if he can guess who wrote what.
If you'd like to play along, here is the list:
Kurt Vonnegut, David Foster Wallace, Haruki Murakami, James Joyce, Anthony Burgess, Yukio Mishima, Cormac McCarthy, Natsume Soseki, Stephen King, Ryu Murakami, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Paul E. Cooley, Bram Stoker, J.D. Salinger, Chinua Achebe, Andy Weir, Walt Whitman, H.P. Lovecraft, H.G. Wells, Edgar Allan Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, J.R.R. Tolkien, Máirtín Ó Cadhain, Nicolás Obregón
