1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In this episode we are discussing Franz Kafka's The Trial; written in 1914 but not published until 1925. This is an incredible and seminal work in modern literature and should be read by everyone. In this episode we talk about: - The style of a story that puts the audience in touch with the feelings of a character - If you don't know what you have done wrong than everything comes to mind and it is paralyzing and demoralizing - Bureaucracy as modern tyranny - The importance of trust in society - The bullet or the knife are never relative - Jostling and career maneuvering as the primary reason for people in these industries, not the betterment of the people they are &quot;helping&quot; - Irrelevancy is the bureaucrats kryptonite; and they will do anyting to avoid that - Why even have options? We really appreciate everyone who listens.
