The Uncommoners
by Tyler and Joel
This is a podcast for the person that feels like the only sane one in the asylum of our current Western society - call it Nietzsche practically applied to current events and social issues. We have enough common. Common thinking, common people, common sense is what landed us in the hellscape of modernity. We need more uncommon. We're here to talk on the topics and say the things monetized podcasters are afraid to - to create a daily life applicable philosophy for the uncommon person while helping them make sense of the manufactured chaos of today's world.
Episodes

The Will to Abdication
Tyler is fired up, and not wanting our listeners to think we only condemn women's lack of agency after last episode, we have what amounts to a lengthy rant on the degeneration into a total lack of agency across all of Western society. Social thought patterns in modernity are plagued by a complete...
-
Trial by TikTok
We finally weigh in on the latest current thing: the Lindsey Clancy trial. Not actually the trial though - the reactions and the reactions to the reactions. We discuss how the constant need to maintain moral high ground makes rational and honest discussion of sensitive topics impossible in the...
-
For the Love of the Game
In this episode we move forward from our prior talk on population reduction and make our first classification of a group of people that's badly in need of reducing: excess "elites". We use a talk about Hassan Piker and his capitalist merchandizing of socialism from the comfort of his $3mil house…

Dogs Don't Wear Pants
As promised last episode, we at least glance off the topic of population reduction, but from a very philosophical angle and with the help of an interesting, alternate, metaphorical interpretation of the Garden of Eden story. What makes humans human, what are the real existential problems with AI,...
-
Populace Above, Populace Below
Following right up on our prior conversation, which has become an unintentional three part series (this being the third and final part), we go beyond the practical politics discussion to get to the philosophical root cause of the sandbox of stupidity - which happens to be the slave morality we've...
-
The Sandbox of Stupidity
"L'enfer, c'est les autres" ("Hell is—other people") - Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit We realize this quote is taken out of context and we're using it differently than it was used in Jean-Paul's No Exit - but we mean it exactly as we're using it in its standalone context. In this episode we expand on...
-
Unserious People
As promised in last episode's show notes, we move forward directly off our prior discussion to finally, two years into the podcast, stop just calling common people idiots and actually go in depth on both why they're idiots and through what specific mechanisms this idiocy results in commoners…

Jeff Knows a Guy
Currently trending distractions continue to offer us perfect opportunities to explore tying together many previously discussed concepts and examining how they play out via these circus acts - in today's case, the "Epstein files". Sick of hearing about Epstein? We are too, but the situation (more...
-
Load-bearing Delusions
“If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?”- Anton Chigurh, No Country For Old Men In this rather lengthy episode we start with a bit of "told you so", hitting on our predictions regarding the reveal of Julie Andrews and the unwinding of the existing social control...
-
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...
-
Schrodinger's Everything
“I keep having the same experience and keep resisting it every time. I do not want to believe it although it is palpable: the great majority of people lacks an intellectual conscience. Indeed, it has often seemed to me as if anyone calling for an intellectual conscience were as lonely in the most...
-
There's No Narrative Like No Narrative
As promised, we follow up our prior episode on the forced retreat into the mental cave by explaining how the new social control scheme of no narrative at all is rapidly taking the place of the narrative/counter-narrative dichotomy that has been in place for nearly a century. Incapacitatingly…

Setting Your View Distance... in Minecraft
This episode is an old (6/12/25), unpublished recording brought back from the dead, due to its high applicability to the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination. This was originally intended to be episode 33, but is now released as episode 35. In this episode we talk about information…
more -
The Curtis Problem
Far be it from us to bring back a topic everyone else has predictably forgot about after saying they never would... but here we are, because here is where we must be. In this episode that's been far too long in the making, we use good old Jeff Epstein as an example to talk about people who...
-
Ineffective Aultruism
We finally conclude our "accepting the world as it is" multi episode discussion by addressing a question from a listener wondering what the purpose and benefit of this outlook actually is. From toasting Teslas to war in Gaza, we examine how people avoid working on themselves by latching onto…
more -
Uncle Ted's Motorcycle Ramp
We're back after a long travel hiatus to keep talking on the recent theme of accepting the world as it is - this time focused on Ted Kaczynski's ideas around self-propagating systems and the inevitable race to doomsday created by unrestrained technological advancement. We begin with a rather...
-
Incapacitatingly Stupid Solutions
Foreign aid, Israel, California wildfires, the homeless industrial complex - in this fourth episode in a series of what is essentially a continuing conversation, we take the abstractly presented idea of "the world as it actually is" from last episode and examine some real world situations through...
-
The World As It Actually Is
Finally getting back to our philosophy roots - the third episode in this recent series of crash-landed conversations picks right up where we left off, using Snowpiercer as framing to discuss the philosophical implications of the current events we talked about in the prior two episodes. Learning…
more -
Trauma Bukkake
Failing to get back to recording fast enough to continue with part two of the prior episode, we once again feel the need to address a host of current events including the "terror" attacks, MAGA's H1B in-fighting, and Lugi again. Conveniently, these events are all relevant to the continuing...
-
The Italian Job
We're finally back to talk Luigi Mangione and the reactions to the UHC CEO murder as a major signal of a captured shift in the national zeitgeist. This episode is intended to tee up foundational ideas for next episode, namely: the importance of maintaining a minimum functional trust level in...
-
It's all Julie Andrews (comment reply mini)
After too much enjoyment of the circus of cabinet appointments in the last episode, we address a listener comment (quoted below) from the same episode that we felt was a good opportunity to clarify our position on Trump. As mentioned in this episode, anyone interested in coming on the show and...
-
Rise of the 4th Reich
Trump has been lambasted as "literally Hitler" for the past eight years, almost entirely for imaginary reasons. Now that MAGA is adopting almost word-for-word Third Reich policies - no one seems to be capable of making the connection. In this mostly political and more casual than normal episode,...
-
Postgame Self-Congratulations
More than just patting ourselves on the back for the accurate election prediction, we address how we were able to make this prediction over a year and a half ago, what the actual purpose of voting is, the importance of understanding counter-narrative control, Biden as an intentional fall guy,...
-
Election Pregame Show
Peanut the squirrel, election day predictions and analysis, Harambe (again), the importance of memes, comments on the Trump and Vance appearances on Rogan, our new logo Fritz Durden, and most importantly we introduce our theory of the ideologically split elites - we've got it all in this...
-
Can We Save Harambe?
We didn't want to make Joel a liar, so we finally hit on feminism as he promised half a season ago - using it as a construct to explore a larger and far more important conversation about the lack of willingness to explore origins of modern social, political, and philosophical issues. As a bonus…
more -
Never Be White
Following directly from our somewhat abruptly ended "vibes only" conversation in the prior episode, we explore how this construct manifests out in the world and leads to logic defying behaviors across widely varied groups of people. Why do threepers open carry at a suburban Starbucks, but don't...
-
Vibes Only
"The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental." - John Steinbeck, The Acts of King Arthur The truth does not set you free…
more -
The Fall of the Baby Oil Mafia
Picking up right where we left off in the prior episode, we're ready to talk Sean "baby oil" Combs and how blackmail operators function as high level gate keepers to power and influence. As always, we tie these events back to prior discussions and use them to continue to build out our world-view....
-
IQ stats & BBQ'd cats
"'Equality to the equal, inequality to the unequal' — that would be the true slogan of justice; and its corollary: 'Never make equal what is unequal!'” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols In this long overdue episode which we started recording two weeks prior, we hit on some no-longer...
-
Victoria, Victor, & Julie Andrews
Our failure to get it together and put out an episode over the past couple weeks has led to a build up of no longer current "current" events that we felt the need to address, including Eric Weinstein's recent appearance on Modern Wisdom. This week we put a bookmark in our as yet unfinished talk…
more -
The Green Pill, Pt 2
"It never gets easier, you just go faster." - Greg LeMond We continue our tying together of all of season one in this extension of the prior episode's conversation, further elaborating on the idea of embracing and finding fulfillment in the struggle, because there is actually no achievable…
more -
The Green Pill, Pt 1
"Ye shall love peace as a means to new wars—and the short peace more than the long. You I advise not to work, but to fight. You I advise not to peace, but to victory. Let your work be a fight, let your peace be a victory! ... War and courage have done more great things than charity. Not your...
-
RIP Eddy B
A few years ago, Eric Weinstein said that in the absence of real growth, everything turns pathological. In this episode we unpack that statement and posit the cause as the fact that the entirety of the Bernays social control structure is based on economic growth and fails to function without it.…
more -
Allen's Global McDonalds
Following directly on last episode's discussion and skipping right over Joel's promise to tie it to feminism, we talk the significance of manufactured "lone wolf" gunman, Allen Dulles's basement version of Langley, why the intelligence community is counter intuitively anti-nationalist, how...
-
POSIWID
The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does. As the world continues with the contrived argument over the competence level of US government security forces, we use this golden opportunity to talk about incompetence as the veil of malice and the myth of widespread incompetence above the individual…

Assassin's Creed: Election Season
The writers at Ubisoft have really outdone themselves this time. In this episode we marvel at the writing talent involved in the new MAGA-based Assassin's Creed sequel, while also showing equal awe over the poor skill of the player and hostile NPCs alike. We also discuss our nuanced false flag…

Free Dumbs
Joel has scotch in hand, Tyler has some seltzer, and we're ready to unpack the meaningless buzz word that "freedom" has become. What is actual freedom? What does the word mean in the context most people use it? Why are most people incapable of ever achieving real freedom and do they even want it?...
-
Dem's Deflate Gate (Post-Debate Analysis)
We decide to open our own SportsCenter to Monday morning QB the Team Red vs Team Blue debate, in the context of what we just talked about in the last several episodes, with an analysis that almost no one else is giving. Why exactly did the DNC decide to publicly deflate Biden like one of Tom...
-
The Bane of the banker
Continuing our discussion of power dynamics, we mock people delusionally celebrating the Assange plea deal as a win and clarify what we mean by "power" in different contexts, via the excellent example of Bane and the banker in The Dark Knight Rises. We make some further inroads on tying...
-
The Ignoble Savage (EP6 Addendum)
"But Rousseau — to what did he really want to return? Rousseau, this first modern man, idealist and rabble in one person — one who needed moral 'dignity' to be able to stand his own sight, sick with unbridled vanity and unbridled self-contempt. This miscarriage, couched on the threshold of modern...
-
Chestnuts vs Golden Toilets
Picking up roughly where we left off in EP5, we talk power dynamics and the way the world actually works, utilizing the incredibly rich example of the Israel/Palestine conflict and related protests. We also manage to tie in the Trump trial, and do a bit of pontificating on the nature of the Trump...
-
We Immoralists
"Morality, insofar as it condemns for its own sake, and not out of regard for the concerns, considerations, and contrivances of life, is a specific error with which one ought to have no pity — an idiosyncrasy of degenerates which has caused immeasurable harm. We others, we immoralists, have,...
-
Jacob Rothschild's Corpse
Building on the control structure discussion from Episode 3, we continue fleshing out our worldview with discussions on artificial boogeymen, counter-narrative control, how people that do finally wake up to the matrix have their focus redirected back into it, who actually is "the system", and…

Choose Your Character
"Three metamorphoses of the spirit do I designate to you: how the spirit becometh a camel, the camel a lion, and the lion at last a child. Many heavy things are there for the spirit, the strong load-bearing spirit in which reverence dwelleth: for the heavy and the heaviest longeth its strength....
-
Thinking As The New Sin
We make a departure from our originally stated episode two idea in order to talk faux expertise, the myth of scientific accuracy, the new secular religion that happens to be exactly like the old non-secular one, the origin of our logo art, and both why and how you aren't allowed to think for...
-
Intro - We The Homeless
"Among Europeans today there is no lack of those who are entitled to call themselves homeless in a distinctive and honorable sense: it is to them that I especially commend my secret wisdom and gaya scienza. For their fate is hard, their hopes are uncertain; it is quite a feat to devise some…
