Self actualisation / non monogamy / Communism
1 - Quotation corner
"Ageing is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always thought you should be" David Bowie
Ali explains why this quote resonated with her. Sam discusses why finding your medium for expression is so important and Joe shares how he's found contentment through podcasting. We discuss trying to find your cultural capital and is self actualisation just faking it until you make it?
2 - Non monogamy
Sam explains the patriarchal and matricentric dynamics of bonobos and how we are not so different from our chimpanzee counterparts. Joe delves into how jealousy and insecurity make polyamory difficult and Ali shares her thoughts on why she doesn't think men are very good at non monogamy. We ask are all the "narmies" polyamorous and is that better?
3 - Listener mail
Eben has written in to ask Sam if he is in fact a card carrying communist and what role, if any, does communism have in 2023? We share our beliefs and what we would like to put in to practice.
