Summary: The guest this week is Andy Marshall. Andy Marshall is a self described "philosophy kid" and a frequent contributor to Diet Soap. He is my co-host on the biweekly Diet Soap conversations on Talkshoe, the Diet Soap archivist (he's been the one putting old episodes back onto the Podomatic page), and this is part two of a longer conversation wherein we discuss Robert Anton Wilson, Nietzsche, and, of course, Hegel. At the end of this episode you'll hear Andy reading from a philosophical email essay he wrote for this episode, and I'll link to the entirety of that essay in the show notes. It's Wednesday, June 26th, 2013 and I'm Douglas Lain the host of the podcast. You may have noticed that my Kickstarter project to fund a book and podcast tour in September is underway. The project is two weeks in, and halfway to the goal. At present there are 48 backers of the project and I want to thank Daniel S, Joshua W, Brad P, Joanne M, Sarah S, Nikki G, Jason S, Phil, Pedar L, and Rob M. I want to take the time to especially thank Brad B because not only did Brad pledge to the tour, he scheduled the space for the Think the Impossible event in Chicago. I'm pleased to say that we'll be thinking impossibly in the Book Cellar with the candlestick…wait, on that it, the Think the Impossible will be held to the Book Cellar in Chicago on September 11th. If you like Diet Soap pledging to the Think the Impossible tour is a great way to support it. In related news there is a serialized audio version of my upcoming novel Billy Moon. It's a freebie that I'm giving away through the Kickstarter campaign, and to I'll post a link to the chapter three in this week's show notes.
