Croaky and Tahgi plunge into the ghostly realm of the social contract—scrutinizing it from multiple angles, from Burke to Hegel to Stirner, and even Kant. Is society a rational agreement between individuals? A sacred covenant across generations? Or just a clever scam by professors and priests to domesticate your will?
In a no-holds-barred episode, Croaky deconstructs the absurdity of “I never signed the social contract” memes while Tahgi defends the notion that we’re born into institutions like fish into water. Along the way, they debate whether families are organic or institutional, whether obligations are felt or forged, and whether Nietzsche should ever be allowed in polite society.
With chicken jokes, Kantian morality, and just enough philosophy to make Twitter arguments awkward for your friends, this is the episode where ideas don’t get participation trophies—they get grilled, deboned, and served with a side of the moral imagination.
