Millenniosophy is a tongue-in-cheek philosophy podcast that explores ideas though a hyperactive, tangent filled narrative of anecdotes and life lessons.
Hosted by eclectic nerd, Kim Stephanie, this baby podcast celebrates the weird and wonderful ideas that are usually treated with kid gloves. Listeners encouraged to engage with this casual meander of ideas about who we are and how we got here at millenniosophy@gmail.com
Bonus: Kim reads The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran.

A little rethink on white women who don't see color. Taking a wider view of how misogyny and white supremacy have been coded into Christian values for so long, we see that these systems are reinforced, not by the top of the pyramid, but by the fear and pain perpetuated by those almost at the top. Recommendations include 2016 Netflix original "13th" directed by Ava DuVernay and Jane Elliott's work in the Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes experiment. PBS Link (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/introduction-2/). Also recommended "(Dis)Honesty" a 2015 Netflix film about Dan Arlely's lifes work on human behaviour and irrationality.

Episode 11: the social dilemma
Welcome to 2021. In this episode Kim discusses the 2020 Netflix Original Documentary /the social dilemma. Typically, we go off topic quickly to discuss the much deeper issues in post-colonialist societies with a focus on Australia and New Zealand and how the social dilemma is the latest evolution of the white supremacy in capitalism and our tacit acceptance of coercion over consent.

Episode 9: Education #realtalk
School sucks right? but it's a trauma we all have to go through... right? Here's how to play the game...
Kim waxes lyrical about a system that professes to teach the population to think but uses tools crafted to make a population compliant. Far from wanting to alienate every educator on the planet, Kim discusses how systematic issues handicap the individuals within the system and how we might be able to dismantle the these systems with kindness and understanding.

Episode 8: Capitalism sucks hard
This episode covers a wide range of topics in an attempt to lay out the misinformation that allows our society to keep perpetuating the idea of credit over humanity. As per usual the conversation rarely sticks to one topic for very long and only occasionally gets back to the point.

Episode 7: Inexpert ideas on identity
In this episode Kim shares what little she knows about gender identity, gender expression and societal norms that cause so much pain. After broaching that incredibly fraught topic, Kim decides to speak even less expertly in ideas of race, colonialism, compares Eugenicists to pug dogs and other such nonsense that will, no doubt, get her into trouble.

Episode 5: Think well, Be well...
Kim reads Billy's [Connolly] Desiderata as tongue-in-cheek homage to misspeaking in Episode Four. Then Kim continues the narrative on how to think well and avoid coercion; covering a blatant re-reading of the The Ten Commandments of Rational Debate (https://s31991.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/10-commandments-of-rational-debate-600w.jpg.webp) within the discussion and finish off with a comment on how we might be able to utilize the Wisdom of the Crowd in social evolution.

Episode 4: Some not-new ideas
Kim takes a slightly slower verbal expedition into metaphysics, language, fractals, and influence. As per usual there are many tangents from Shakespeare and Eminem to Plato and shellfish.

Episode 1: Love letter into the void
Recorded in September 2020, this is my first volley into the void. This episode is a personal narrative on philosophy, history and the cult of ideals. This is the introductory episode where I introduce the argument that all life is the same entity; experiencing a concurrent multiverse simultaneously.
