The Two Tongues Podcast explores the most interesting topics that aren't "fit" for popular consumption (or polite dinner conversation). Here you will find honest, unfiltered and unedited conversation between two life-long friends on the state of the world as we see it; politics, religion, mind-altering substances, psychology and philosophy are fair game. Let the fun begin!

In this episode Chris discusses the ancient Mesopotamian myths--Epic of Gligamesh & Enuma Elish--that appear also in the Bible. Noah or Ut-napishtim? Which stories came first? Who plagiarized from whom? Do these older Mesopotamian stories undermine the Biblical ones? Let's compare and contrast and see where we land on this.

In this episode Chris and Kyle discuss Postmodernism and introduce the character of Jacques Derrida. Kyle then had to leave unexpectedly leaving Chris to finish the episode all by his lonesome. In any case, Derrida and I make the case that he's really a theist deep down, but repressed into the infinite, circular deferral of meaning that is Derrida's God--Différance (oh, that's fun to say with a French accent!)

In this episode Chris dissects an episode of the Dark Horse Podcast where Brett Weinstein and Jordan Peterson talk "consciousness." Through this lens I ask questions like: Just what the hell are "instincts" exactly? and Is intuition an instinct? Toss in a little Panpsychism and a dash of Adam and Eve and there you have it!

In this episode Chris and Kyle discuss what it's like to be ill from COVID, contrast that reality to the public panic. If that wasn't good enough, we decided to go ahead and compare the mass political and social movements of the last decade with such religious cults as Scientology and the Branch Davidians.
Enjoy :)
