Just subscribed a few weeks ago and been listening every day. I was listening to another podcast on Christian anarchism and it struck me that with Constantine assimilation of that movement it was a great example of synthesis and co-opting into the system of the state. Not a believer and apologies if this is entry level stuff. Really glad I've subscribed and looking forward to the next part in this.

I'm sure you already know, but the thesis antithesis synthesis is Fichte's system not Hegel (he's still a piece of shit but whatever). I've not read that piece by derrida but at the same time that pointing out that the mechanicist and simple view of history is not from Marx but from the revisionism of Bernstein, Soviet diamat, and current neoricardians (looking at you cockshott) is needed, i think the Hegel/Fichte mention deserves a shoutout too. Greetings from Asturies.

The term "Dickheads" refers to fans of Philip K. Dick and no other Dick. And a discussion of Philip K Dick's work as it relates to these subjects is also needed.

1. The final portion about Marxism cut me deep and personal …. Grateful I found this podcast in 2020. 2. Will “Moby Dick” play a part in this specific series or will us Dickheads have to hold out still for the Melville ep(s?)… the 19th century conversion of mammalian bodies into “oil” feels prophetic in relation to this topic , at least to my goofy ass. Thanks again Mr. Judge.

I have known they were different guys since I was probably 14, 15?, and for some goddamn reason, I am STILL transposing their first names 20+ years later. It's bizarre, and the only reason I can think of is that they're the only 2 Beattys. If there were 5, I wouldn't confuse them
