New podcast episode posted yesterday: [Black Friday, Puritanizing Marijuana, Poustinia, Fools for Christ](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-weekly-eudmon/id1438354210?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I had to rush a bit, so it's not my favorite episode, but neither am I embarrassed.

Here are [the Show Notes](https://www.eudemonpodcast.com/blog/2018/11/25/black-friday-puritanizing-marijuana-poustinia-fools-for-christ?ref=thedailyeudemon.com):

Black Friday and the Gorillas: Are Black Friday shoppers near descendants of the gorillas? Albert Jay Nock would seem to think so. A sense of superiority is an unsettling trait of many libertarians.

Puritanizing Marijuana: The marijuana industry is booming, but there is a conscious effort to imbue it with the Puritan work ethic and otherwise mainstream it. Thaddeus Russell wouldn't approve.

Lightning Segments: Eight Mile, a list of Great Men, other snippets.

Poustinia: My experience with the solitary Russian retreat.

Fools for Christ: A very unusual religious calling, but a compelling one in its own way.

On top of my travel schedule crippling my podcast efforts, I started trying to learn video-editing. One of the software companies had a half-off Black Friday special that ended yesterday, so I bought the software and started working on it. Whew. It's a lot of work. I'll post my nascent effort later this week after it's finished.
