Kilts Khalfan - Vending Machine Culture

Today John talks with Kilts Khalfan (a pen name, see bio below) to talk about how the West has lost its nations and instead adopted the corporation as its uniting principle. In effect, the West has become populated with Vending Machine People. Today is a dive into that idea.Bio (from the Dragon Common Room website):"Anticonservative, but definitely not antiChrist, Kilts is a Medieval thinker, poet, concept artist, and co-author of two books (and counting) published by the Dragon Common Room.She is currently working with the DCR team on the five-volume epic, Draco Alchemicus.Kilts regularly muses on her Telegram channel The Sandwhich Press, a digital liberal arts project that feeds into DCR’s work."Links:Vending Machine People - https://tinyurl.com/2cjathnfDragon Common Room - https://www.dragoncommonroom.comFor all the updates join our Telegram channel: https://t.me/firstthingsfoundationYou should definitely check out Keipi Restaurant 👉 www.keipirestaurant.orgWAWTAR now has a Facebook group: Why Are We Talking About (More) Rabbits?

Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly. Credits Music: Intro / Outro Provided by Greg Gilbertson & Band This is a public episode.
