S1 E24: Physics
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
05/12/21 • 34 min
Who wanted to hear about Roadhouse again? Probably nobody, but there's another reference to it all the same! In this episode, Mark and Adam break down the Early Modern philosophical approach to Physics, covering philosophers and scientists such as Descartes, Galileo, and Isaac Newton. From Cartesian mechanistic physics to the revival of atomism and the Universal Law of Gravitation, the progress of science is discussed in determining what the natural world is. Also, Mark flagrantly insults the Lord of the Rings, and a question is posed: Is knowledge really knowledge if what you know is wrong?
S1 E19: God
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
03/30/21 • 63 min
Outside of time? Inside of time? Beyond time? Who understands when God truly is? Not Mark and Adam, that's for sure! Nevertheless, they tackle medieval opinions on the existence and qualities of God in the nineteenth episode of Unlimited Opinions. From the well-known philosophers of Augustine, Aquinas, and Ockham to the lesser-known opinions of Eriugena, Peter Damiani, and Lorenzo Valla, Mark and Adam break down the medieval history of philosophical opinions on God. There are also several J.R.R. Tolkien and movie references, as is to be expected!

Adam and Mark move on to medieval philosophy! Beginning with the second half of St. Augustine's life, through Boethius and the great early Muslim and Jewish philosophers, all the way to Maimonides, the duo breaks down the doings of many of the great medieval philosophers. Scattered amongst the discussion are several Star Trek references and discussions of Latin classes.
S2 E34: Legends of Fairies and Sea-Folk
Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
05/24/22 • 66 min
In this episode, Mark begins his descent into becoming a cartoon supervillain! Amidst many tangents and asides, we discuss the rather cheerful stories of Scottish fairies and sea-folk. We look at the legend of the Selkie, several stories about Changelings (including the story of Wee Johnnie in the Cradle), and the tale of how you should always accept mysterious buttermilk! We look at many of the morals and underlying symbolisms of these Scottish tales, and how they relate to us today. Follow us (and recommend us books for Season 3) on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

Don't we all just wish that we had a Cone of Buffalo Protection? It would definitely make my trips to Yellowstone a lot less hazardous. In this episode, we discuss legends from various Native American peoples, including how the sun was ensnared, how the Pawnee are able to hunt buffalo, and the Seminole account of the origin of the three races. We also look at the legend of Osseo, the Son of Evening Star, the escapades of White Feather and the Six Giants, the tale of the broken promise, and much more.

Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More
12/07/21 • 26 min
If you listen to a prerecorded form of entertainment, are you then engaging in a live performance? Of course not, right? Apparently that is up for debate in this episode as we look at various Chinese gods that are important to the connection between the mortal and immortal worlds. We look at the kitchen god who reports families' behavior to the Supreme Being of the Heavens, the door gods who protect from unwanted visitors, the bureaucracy of the elements (particularly Lei Kung, the Duke of Thunder), the Buddhist goddess of mercy, Kuan Yin, and the Eight Immortals of Taoism, who each represent a unique aspect of life.

We also talk about a certain McDonald's in Washington, DC, an unfortunate lack of tubing, and why St. Paul gets to be in the Bible.
