It’s April Fool’s Day.

How do we continue finding joy and laughter when faced with overwhelming injustice? What role does comedy play in a world that feels increasingly unbearable?

A podcast? A rant? A hypnotic deep dive into the illusion of choice? Corporations own everything, social media mines your soul, and entertainment keeps you docile, but don’t worry, it’s all just a joke… right?

Monopolies, surveillance capitalism, consumerism, and media distraction with a satirical edge. Are you in control, or are you just another cog in the machine? Haemonomics, baby.

🎭 Watch, question, laugh — just don’t think too hard. It’s April Fool’s Day, after all.

In this season finale of Art of the Covenant, host Eric Lampaert reflects on the journey of rediscovery, healing, and transformation. Drawing from ancient myths, sacred texts, and personal experience, he explores how universal truths and timeless stories can help us align the microcosm of our lives with the cosmos itself.

Through the lens of his own recovery from trauma and memory loss, Eric shares insights that helped him rebuild and reshape his mind, body, and spirit. From grappling with the infinite to embracing the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, this episode weaves humor, philosophy, and resilience into a tapestry of growth and hope. A celebration of endings, beginnings, and the messy, beautiful middle ground where we all live.

Why do we bow down to the almighty algorithm? In this episode, Eric and his guest, comedian and writer Athena Kugblenu, break down our pursuit of likes, laughs, and validation, as they unravel the double-edged sword of modern conformity, the masks we wear, and whether it’s possible to outwit the rigged system of the attention economy.

From evolutionary instincts to Orwellian doublespeak, let’s explore why belonging mattered to our ancestors and why in this day and age, things have gotten... weird.

Is it all smoke and mirrors, or can authenticity thrive in a click-obsessed world? Tune in to find out. Just don’t forget to subscribe. Or like. Or validate me. VALIDATE ME! (Fart SFX)
