We talk about why humans dress pain up in metaphors.

Why we turn heartbreak into lines, loss into symbolism, and struggle into something “beautiful.”

Is that healing or avoiding?

Does poeticizing suffering help us understand it,

or does it keep us from facing it?

A real conversation about the stories we tell ourselves…

and the ones we wish we didn’t.

Orlando and Young Bastard invite Eternal Toddler and The Great Giant to explore the darker corners of human nature.

Is altruism real, or is every interaction just a transaction wearing perfume?

Does Darwin hold hands with Machiavelli, or are they standing on opposite sides of the room pretending not to know each other?

When is it acceptable to influence, persuade, or even manipulate others... and when does it cross into something corrosive?

This is not a lecture.

This is not a debate.

This is far from polished.

This is just four local humans thinking out loud.

The Young Dirty Bastard and Orlando explore the depths:

How do animals become symbols?

Why do humans project personality onto creatures that can't talk back?

What do humans symbolize...and is it right to personify animals?
