what is this subreddit?

A place for philosophical discussion of what's on most thinking minds.

We exist in a culture of narrative and media that increasingly, willfully combines agency-robbing fantasy mythos with instantaneous technological dissemination—a self-mutating proteum of semantics: the spectacle.

If confused, please stick around or hover here. Post questions, read or watch some of the things below, and soak in the language here.
