Summary
The Deep Drive takes on a weighty and controversial topic as Micah and Thomas discuss two popular ideals in the light of international conflict. Individualism, in its extreme form, tends to ignore the downtrodden and oppressed, while communalism in its most intense form can oppress the very freedoms that make us human, and forms an idealistic sense of community that doesn't actually exist. Amidst these difficult discussions, Thomas apparently believes that many penguins died in the Gulf of Mexico, Micah sings a sad song, the two have a quick disagreement about fences and, surprisingly, war is good proof we should all be on a low-carb diet.
