Fascinating!: Deconstructing Conventional Wisdom to See the World with New Clarity
Step into a universe of sharp wit and deep insights with Fascinating!, where your host Rik from Planet Vulcan explores the dominant narratives shaping our world. Through the lens of evolutionary thinking, Fascinating! deconstructs conventional wisdom on economics, social justice, morality, and more. Each episode cuts through the noise of collective illusions—what Rik calls ecnarongi (ignorance backwards)—and exposes the pervasive hangover of pre-Darwinian thought patterns, often seen in the form of intelligent design or deus ex machina thinking. This outdated framework extends far beyond theistic religion, influencing everything from economic systems to societal structures.
Fascinating! offers an intellectually stimulating and often humorous exploration of ideas. If you're ready to see the world through fresh eyes, tune in for conversations that provoke, inform, and enlighten.

Cary Gray - Interview
In a first for the Fascinating! series, we present an interview.
The interviewee is Cary Gray, an up-and-coming young Earthling friend of mine. Cary is first and foremost a poet, and that is his passion. He has had an adventurous past, from doing long-distance touring on a purpose-built unicycle of his own design, to living for three months in a giant redwood in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Cary will soon be starting his own podcast, tentatively titled "The Poetic Experience". I for one look forward to seeing where his imagination will take him next.
