E109| The Overton Window, Alex Ebert in dialogue with Tim Adalin
Exploring the political, social, psychological and metaphysical dynamics of the Overton window: the present limits of socially acceptable policy and opinion.
Alex is an incidental musician and philosopher. His interest in Hegelian philosophy began (unbeknownst to him) more than a decade ago, with his development of a peculiar mathematical function (magnetic zeros). Said function is now the centerpiece of his Hegelian philosophy of sublation (freQ theory), and, for better or worse, serves as his platinum-selling band’s name.
