Episode description

In this episode I synthesize some of the prior podcasts and I even rehash the Matrix movie as a parable of postmodern theory and the unlimited vision.  But the meat of the discussion is about the early roots of the unlimited vision going all the way back to the French revolution where we explore a fascinating man named Francois-Noël Babeuf. 

I explore the antithetical vision of equality vs. equity especially through Babeuf's "Conspiracy of the Equals," which is the fascinating primordial soup of Marx and Engel's writings.
