What is Glory? (or, A "Card Hold" Piece of Chicken): The Invasion of Capri
from We Can Pedia · host Tristan Haze and Nathan Hugh Robért
Your hosts are back at it, locked in combat. We discuss the idea of the glory of war, how it may have peaked around the time of Napoleon, and how this is a problematic idea to express properly. If a name originally means something etymologically, are you 'misspeaking' when you call something with that name when it lacks the feature that the name originally meant? NHR, astonishingly, argues for an affirmative answer. Tristan is gloating about his personal life going well (fortunes since reversed following the recording). NHR attempts to explain the Napoleon Complex through the lens of schema therapy. We stumble upon what we believe to be the best coat of arms ever. The invasion of Capri was the successful recapture of the Italian island of Capri from Britain by the Kingdom of Naples on 4–18 October 1808. Theme music by Edward Lonsdale. Tristan on Instagram.
