<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s Solidarity Fridays episode, after a short and much-needed break, Kyle and Joe return, but don't really touch on any news. This time, they have a very open conversation largely focused on philosophy and capitalism.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They dive into a lot of philosophical questions: are we reducing the mystical to the medical?

Is commodifying the sacred bad? And what makes something sacred other than it being significant?

It’s firing a bunch of signals all the time, right? Information is just coming in and
