Episode 6: Unity
Recorded during the nationwide protests following the murder of George Floyd by police, Dane utilizes humor and history in one man's small effort to bring Americans together. He delivers a mind-bending performance of his "Song of the Day to Check Out" and then answers the question "Why Is Your Hair So Long?" en route to gleaming learnings from the history of the 1960s/70s countercultural movements and anti-Vietnam War protests.
Though not all properly introduced, fans of the following segments should appreciate this episode: "Song of the Day to Check Out," "Fans/Friends/Followers Questions," "Smart People Read," and "Philosophy Reflections." Apologies that (other than quoting Yoda) there is no SciFi explored in this episode.

Thompson, sings PJ Harvey in the voice and style of Dane Curley, and dishes out a healthy serving of fascinating and useful Jungian psychology by discussing Edward Edinger's self-reflection-inducing Ego and Archetype. There's mention of Prometheus, The Serpent of Eden - oh! - and there's a little talk about fencing and skateboarding!
