The IKEA Life

With the world continuing forward in a perfectly predictable fashion - so predictable that it's becoming tiresome and repetitive to keep addressing it - we launch what we'll consider "Season 3" with a return to our philosophical roots. In this episode we bring back one of our best lines of discussion: how to live life and create a meaningful existence for yourself without the need to bury your head in the sand and ignore everything else we've talked about on the podcast to do so. We explore the idea of living an authentic, aesthetically pleasing life. "It will be the strong and domineering natures that enjoy their finest gaiety in such constraint and perfection under a law of their own; the passion of their tremendous will relaxes in the face of all stylized nature, of all conquered and serving nature. Even when they have to build palaces and design gardens they demur at giving nature freedom." - The Gay Science
