Deep Fried Neurons was started as a storytelling podcast, but now we talk about how we live in a society. While stories are a large chunk of the content shared on the podcast, it also takes deep dives and tries to create conversations that introduce or educate people about known topics, mostly in philosophy - but philosophy learned through history, epistimiology, mythology and lingual studies.
#106 - Overthinking Interactions on A Hinge Date (Ft. Jean Paul Sartre)
The Following episode makes sense of one of the 20th century's most prolific, impactful and original existentialist writers: Jean-Paul Sartre. We explore 3 pieces of Literature by Sartre, and how the represent his vehement contention that man is condemned to be free in light of his take on phenomenology. The book explores Sartre's impact on the literary world, his political ideology, and the time of peril that was the two world wars - which deeply impacted him. We also discuss his post war politics and it causing bitter disagreements with erstwhile friends and visits to certain South American islands.

#105 - Perception and Language
Lugwig Van Wittgenstein wrote Tactatus Logico Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations centred around a central question: Is language a competent tool to compare expereinces of reality to the end of demystifying it. This episode talks about foundational language in learning psychology, the growth of children in terms of cognitive abilities and how that relates to an operative person cognitively conveying intention. We look at the barrier of language resulting in a sea of context, that causes for Witgenstein's "language game" to have implications in real life governance, and legal procedure.

#104 - Blasphemy
Blasphemy, according to a quick google search is "Actions or speech that is done in irreverence or dismissal of God". To no one's surprise there are laws in place even today in more than a comfortable number of countries to punish blasphemy as a crime. In this episode, we briefly discuss the origin of this phenomenon, and see why is it that the state chooses to use it's monopoly of violence over speech and literature against God. In continuation of the discussion, we discuss the rationale given by the Supreme Court of India, as the justification for the constitutional validity of the blasphemy law in the Democratic Republic of India. Additionally, we discuss the the largest incident of blasphemy in the 20th century - the fatwa against Salman Rushdie and the complexities of having geographical granted autonomy to write and say something, while another geographical and cultural taboo to the extent of demanding death of the blasphemer across jurisdictions. In addition to the Fatwa, we also talk about incidents of "Blasphemy" and how it defines the identity of a culture and location. The end of this episode discusses India and the choice as a culture we stand to make, whether the State should penalise the blasphemer on behalf of religions over the fear of violence.
