In this midnight ramble, Kief and Sage close their eyes and open their minds to the weird, wobbly world of sleep. What is it? Why do we do it? Are dreams just brain static—or secret messages from the unconscious multiverse? From sleepwalking crimes to lucid dream rebellion, from capitalism’s war on rest to the cosmic twinship of sleep and death, the hosts drift through philosophy, biology, and pure stoner wonder. So grab a blanket, spark one up, and float with us through the shadow-self dimension. Just don’t try to read this in a dream—you won’t be able to.

In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, Kief and Sage dive deep into the mind-bending debate over free will. Do we actually make choices—or just think we do? From Laplace’s Demon and hard determinism to compatibilism and the illusion of choice, they explore whether our decisions are our own or the universe’s well-scripted improv. Sage fights for freedom, Kief leans toward fate, and somewhere in the middle lies the blurry truth. Spark up and ask yourself: did you choose to press play, or was it always going to happen this way?

In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, Kief and Sage dive into the murky waters of emotional manipulation. From gaslighting to guilt-tripping, they unpack how influence can twist into control. They explore the psychology behind manipulation, its presence in personal relationships and media, and how to spot it before it sinks its hooks. Expect deep dives, a few laughs, and maybe a moment of self-reflection. Just remember: if someone’s pulling your strings, it's okay to cut the cords.
