It's Halloween! Our favorite holiday, as well as one of our favorite special episodes of the year. First we discuss The Inferno by Dante Alighieri. The Inferno, or Hell, is the first cantiche of The Comedy, erroneously called The Divine Comedy. Then we discuss several iterations of La Danse Macabre, a Late Medieval allegory that reminds people of the inevitability of death and the vanity of earthly power.  Have some spooky fun and Happy Samhain from both of us!   Dante's Inferno: Professor Mazzotta's Dante lecture series https://youtu.be/679FGDpZBew?si=q5l0usQWpw4QgDHr Francesca da Rimini (Canto 5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_and_Francesca_da_Rimini Terza Rima https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terza_rima Translation and editorial by Robin Kirkpatrick https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/351253/the-divine-comedy-by-dante-alighieri-translated-by-robin-kirkpatrick/9780141195872/   MOGP: A Brief History of Danse Macabre: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/danse-macabre-david-pumpkins-art-history  Danse macabre (Saint-Saëns): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danse_macabre_(Saint-Sa%C3%ABns)  La danse macabre (Saint-Saëns):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwMMwAWAFds  Dies Irae|Chants of deliverance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEYPuYkxfBw  Franz Liszt Totentanz (Dance of the Dead) for Piano and orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X41O_vUYC7k  Dance macabre cartoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLRTS28bhMg    Ghost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(Swedish_band)  Ghost - Dance Macabre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gr63DiEUxw     Other Appearances: Here's our latest episode with Chris Shelton on his series.

Today is Imposition Paper #2 - Scripture and Canonization. What is scripture and what is its role in Mormonism? This Imposition Paper seeks to reform the cultural perspective on revelation and canonization in hopes of creating a more healthy relationship with scripture and allowing necessary revisions as society progresses. Then we jump into the second book of Dallin Oaks, his most recent Learning the Great Fundamentals: Jesus Christ, Priesthood, and the Plan of Salvation. This is a compilation of his talks edited by two church employees. This will help us compare his rookie card, Pure in Heart, to his book published as he ascended to the mantle of prophet.

What were the Position Papers and what were they for? We go over a brief overview of the Reorganized Latter Day Saints (RLDS) organizing a committee to deal with some major flaws in policy and doctrine. The committee circulated some ideas to RLDS leadership in the form of Position Papers. They were leaked before the ideas could be fully fleshed out, but that set off a chain of events that led to the RLDS abandoning its conservative past for a progressive Christian future, eventually becoming the Community of Christ. Today is our first Imposition Paper, seeking to reform the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the face of its telegraphed retrenchment phase. Then we tackle the final chapter of Pure in Heart by Dallin Oaks to hear him pad his word count, prophiteer, and summarize everything he's said in the book before the conclusion. Soon we'll see how 90s Oaks compares to 2026 Prophet Oaks! We wrap with happy news about data showing, conclusively, that vaccines, indeed, work, just like we've all known all along before idiots made it a wedge.

Exclusion of evidence and habeas corpus? Who needs us? It's a Dallin Oaks episode and we go over two law review articles (pub. 1966 & 70) he wrote focusing on the rights of criminals. How we handle evidence consistent with the constitution is a complicated issue and Hoaks has a hot take. Plus, he thinks habeas corpus has gotten a bit out of hand with how many death row convicts it was helping. Then we dive through 2 more chapters from Pure in Heart about Spirituality and Worship. The hot takes here are akin to moldy soup in the back of the fridge. We round out with happy civil engineering news from California!   Show Notes:  Studying the Exclusionary Rule in Search and Seizure https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3650&context=uclrev Search and Seizure laws and SCOTUS rulings https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/educational-resources/about-educational-outreach/activity-resources/what-does-fourth-amendment-mean https://www.justia.com/criminal/procedure/search-and-seizure-rules/ https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt4-7-1/ALDE_00000805/ Legal History in the High Court–Habeas Corpus (1966) https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5483&context=mlr Bushel's Case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushel%27s_Case   Sword of Laman: Pure In Heart, by Dallin H.

Books and movies after religion! We've taken a listener-suggested-topic and run with it. Instead of pointing out individual pieces of media that are useful after religion, we talk about how various religions deal with information control. From banned-books lists to devil's music, various Abrahamic religions have varying levels of prohibition against non-religious material. We go through a bunch of them and discuss how information control in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints takes place. After that we review the movie The Wave (Die Welle), an independent German film about how easy it is for fascism to take root, set as a high-school project-week experiment. Then we end with happy news from the Salt Lake Tribune about them going non-paywalled to preserve journalistic integrity.   Show Notes:    Chris Shelton Speaking of Cults, Episode on "Scientology and the Arts": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZVixzVMwks    MOGP: The Wave (Die Welle): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1063669/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-GHXeYlgdY  The Third Wave Experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Wave_(experiment)  Ron Jones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Jones_(teacher)    Happy News: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/05/15/why-salt-lake-tribune-dropped-its/   Show Links: Email: [email protected]  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GlassBoxPod  Patreon page for documentary: https://www.patreon.com/SeerStonedProductions BlueSky: @glassboxpodcast.bsky.social  Other BlueSky: @bryceblankenagel.bsky.social and @shannongrover.bsky.social  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glassboxpodcast  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glassboxpodcast/  Merch store: https://www.redbubble.com/people/exmoapparel/shop Or find the merch store by clicking on "Store" here: https://glassboxpodcast.com/index.html One time Paypal donation: [email protected]  Venmo: @Shannon-Grover-10
