0:00.0	The Oh, Hello and welcome to Boundless and Bottomless C's first real episode here in our first panel of what is likely to be an ever shifting panel shoot, although I suspect
0:45.2	Jason and I will be on every panel and since I'm hosting it I'm probably going
0:49.6	to definitely be on every panel. But Jason and I will probably be on all of them and Sean might be regular, so we'll see.
0:59.0	But, and I'll have everyone introduce themselves to you and what they do in a second.
1:05.0	We are today diving into the mission of this program which is to read critically but not entirely biasedly
1:19.3	meaning like we're going to be sympathetic when we can we're going to be critical when we're supposed to be sympathetic when we can, we're going to be critical when we're supposed to be.
1:25.1	We're not going to compromise their own values here, but versions of reading conservative,
1:30.8	reactionary, and traditionalist political thought.
1:36.1	Think something like, no, your enemy,

2:26.2	and I do think there's irrationalist elements to his book, books, but that he's not stupid despite going to Alex Jones despite sounding like a weird Russian
2:36.7	Orthodox crank he is he is not stupid he might be a coffee shop fascist but he's's a smart art. Let me rephrase that. He's not a fascist.
2:46.0	He is a post fascist of some sort. And we're going to have to deal with what that means.
2:52.0	But, um... to like deal with what that means but who I think is who in some ways from the
2:59.6	standpoint of when he wrote this book in Russia in 2009 and when it got published in America two times,
3:04.9	once kind of an underground form just published by Mark Shabobda, see episode zero where I talk about who that guy is,
