173: In Slopaganda We Trust [Tao Te Ching Ch.14]
2026/04/19
In a surprise follow-up to last week's episode, Bartleby asks us to consider how propaganda is effectively used in warfare and how a country could protect itself from it, if only they were trustworthy. Without trust, it turns out that cartoon lego rap videos are a valid form of political discourse. Artemius still manages to discuss the Tao Te Ching, but only just barely, in another ever-elusive episode of Meta-Cosmos!

172: The Bright Side of the Dark Side of the Moon [Tao Te Ching Ch.13]
2026/04/12
Examining the dichotomy of humanity in the early 21st century, Artemus focuses this week's episode on the Artemis II mission and the Moon. Despite his efforts, Bartleby finds the appropriate place to do a little shadow work on the dark side of the moon. It's bravely going where no man has gone before in another landmark episode of Meta-Cosmos!

171: Yes, Lizard People [Tao Te Ching Ch.12]
2026/04/05
After seeing just a fraction of the Epstein files, all conspiracy theories are back on the table! Artemus just wants to make a podcast about the Tao Te Ching, but Bartleby insists it is time to talk about the most far-out of all conspiracy theories that is probably true! It's another self-reflective, redemption-seeking, trauma-supportive episode of Meta-Cosmos!

170: A Divine Singularity [Tao Te Ching Ch.11]
2026/03/29
While we use the space that isn't, Bartleby asks, is oneness becoming more whole with time? It's a quick tour through different pantheons and their application, and a whole lot more about Pythagoras than is necessary. We find our way to a collective point of unity in another seemingly erratic episode of Meta-Cosmos!

169: How To Be Mysteriously Virtuous [Tao Te Ching Ch.10]
2026/03/22
Mostly straightforward advice from our sages is hard to come by. Whether Lao Tzu can be called straightforward is hard to say, but chapter 10 is pretty clear on offering best practices for virtuous living, depending on the translation. Filtered through two socks, we gain a whole other layer of perspective in another empowering episode of Meta-Cosmos!

168: Over Doing It And Then Some [Tao Te Ching Ch.9]
2026/03/15
How far is too far? It's hard to pinpoint the moment you step out of your depths. Using chapter nine of the Tao Te Ching as our guide, we examine the nature of AI model collapse and learn a little about how the nervous system naturally biases the reality it perceives. Strap into your merkaba and get ready for a ride through your own soul in another over-the-top episode of Meta-Cosmos.

167: Soaking in the Tao [Tao Te Ching Ch.8]
2026/03/08
The Tao is a lot like water, and so are you! Or at the very least, you're mostly made out of water, so you mostly have a lot of potential. Once again, the best role-model is all around us and a lot wetter than expected, in a very hydrated episode of Meta-Cosmos!

166: The Foundations of Enlightenment [Tao Te Ching Ch.7]
2026/03/01
Looking at Chapter Seven of the Tao Te Ching, we ask ourselves, is enlightenment just a bunch of classist propaganda? Is it just a lie to pacify the people, or is it a people's movement, rising from the ground up? Preparing ourselves for reincarnation, it's another foundational episode of Meta-Cosmos!

165: Outside the Trauma Box [Tao Te Ching Ch.6]
2026/02/22
What is outside of the Tao? Nothing. What is outside of our own personal handheld trauma boxes? Only more Tao. By processing the shadows, it's another unflinching episode of Meta-Cosmos!
…Hosted by Bartleby and Artemus Neehi.
…Produced by Isaac Bluefoot.

164: Hollow Idols [Tao Te Ching Ch.5]
2026/02/15
Examining the value of emptiness, we question idols of all shapes and sizes. Artemus tries not to judge or assign value, but Bartleby isn’t having it and asks us all to do some inner demon hunting. Using love as our guiding light, it’s another universally affectionate episode of Meta-Cosmos!

163: Hidden But Present [Tao Te Ching Ch.4]
2026/02/08
Some unspeakable things need to be spoken around. Alluding to the hidden unknowns, Bartleby tiptoes around the darkest of shadows. Supposedly hypothetical implications remain ever out of reach as humanity's potential is unlocked in another unspeakable episode of Meta-Cosmos!
…Hosted by Bartleby and Artemus Neehi.

162: Un Dao Process [Tao Te Ching Ch.3]
2026/02/01
What is the Tao and what isn’t? What do we do when we do not want to do too much? How do we just be when tyranny is afoot? And how do we ensure due process is done? Our favorite pair of socks try to just talk about the Tao, but Justice is crying and hard to ignore in another very real episode of Meta-Comos.

161: Just Dao It [Tao Te Ching Ch.2]
2026/01/25
Exploring duality and perception, we look at Chapter Two of the Tao Te Ching. Would you even know you were short if there were no tall people? Artemus reads to us from Lao Tzu while Bartleby asks, how do we stay present in light of current events? Everything is defined by its opposite in another polar episode of Meta-Cosmos!

160: No Really, What Is the Meta-Cosmos? [Tao Te Ching Ch.1]
2026/01/18
Welcome to the debut of Meta-Cosmos 2, the new sequel to the hit podcast, Meta-Cosmos! Bartleby and Artemus look at the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching and begin our new book club adventure! Taking on the Tolerance Paradox by easing ambiguity discomfort, it's another first episode ever of Meta-Cosmos 2: The Reckoning!

159: Economicpalooza!
2026/01/11
In what is potentially the cumulative final episode, Artemus delivers his prescribed economic manifesto. Bartleby isn’t so sure about it, but has little choice in this longest episode yet where they sendoff the old show. As they redefine the value of life, it's another last episode ever of Meta-Cosmos!
