067: What is the point (of creating art)?

We talk about the urge to create art and confronting the voice that asks, “what’s the point?” Before and after that, we riff on mental health, therapy, trauma, male vs female friendships, the manosphere, Sean Ryan, peer groups and mental health, solitude, calibrating your inside voice, gratitude vs avoidance, quitting Sam Harris and Bill Maher, church camp, feeling called to the priesthood, quitting religion, priests who are secret atheists, people leaving MAGA, and ideological blind spots. Finally, we share some harmless pet peeves. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit satellitehaiku.substack.com
