Hey folks, welcome to  another episode of The Mind of a Skeptical Lefist. This time around I talked to Chris Scully of the podcast Ironweeds and the band Zombie Giuliani. We covered a lot of ground in this chat but for length I did have to cut a little bit because we went so long. We talked about his podcast and co-hosts a little bit, anarchism, social ecology, the environmental crisis that we’re facing, and so much more. Ironweeds is a podcast where the hosts discuss current events and news items and analyze them using a leftist framework. While the format is fairly common, the hosts of Ironweeds are not. They are clever, funny, knowledgeable people with an obvious care for the well being of others. I highly recommend you check it out. And if you like punk then check out Chris’ band Zombie Giuliani, I can’t say that I’m a big punk fan but I do enjoy listening to Chris’ band.

In this episode I talked to Damien Marie Athope. Damien is an activist turned educator who has spent many years working for social justice in various ways. He has spent the past few years learning about and spreading information about the history of religion from the time before it became the dominant mode of thought across much of the world. He has studied prehistory and talked to many archeologists and anthropologists who appreciated his work and his understanding of prehistoric times. In this interview we talk about his growth and how he came to the worldview he now holds including his path to atheism and anarchism while touching on his mode of thinking which he describes as axiology. For more information on axiology you can go watch Damien’s videos on his channel which will be in the show notes or description box of this episode. We didn’t spend as much time on Damien’s activism and what he has done for his communities so we’re going to be doing a second interview. I hope that you appreciate him and his work as much as I do.
