Excellent show. I was surprised to hear you guys speak of spell-craft and the apple, not sure why, really. I see a biblical connection in there... the apple, corporations, logos and the casting of spells. All kinds of connections. This from my web site:
a kiss to break the spell dot com…
Q: Was the biblical story of taking a bite from the fruit of the tree of knowledge foretelling of the trouble words and knowledge would get humanity into?
A: That was the spell that was cast. The word of God. We see that the action of this word has lead to chaos in the world. The apple is merely a symbol of the spell. I point you to Apple Computers and Mac , the Big Apple – The EMPIRE State of NY… The Roman Empire and all other corporate off-shoots of the original spell that was cast. Rome an apple, Empire apple, Macintosh... you know them by their fruits.
Humanity took a bite out of the poison apple and fell under the spell of illusion. Words are illusion. The truth of a word is found in the action it causes. Try as i might, i can only light my cigarette with an actual lighter... the word lighter will never do it, no matter how many times i try.
Think Sleeping Beauty. She fell under a spell when she bit into a poisoned apple. It was only a KISS that saved her.

Link to the 1784 essay by Kant that Sieg was reading:
"Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage s man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!"- that is the motto of enlightenment.
Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharged them from external direction (naturaliter maiorennes), nevertheless remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so easy not to be of age. If I have a book which understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a physician who decides my diet, and so forth, I need not trouble myself. I need not think, if I can only pay - others will easily undertake the irksome work for me.
That the step to competence is held to be very dangerous by the far greater portion of mankind (and by the entire fair sex) - quite apart from its being arduous is seen to by those guardians who have so kindly assumed superintendence over them. After the guardians have first made their domestic cattle dumb and have made sure that these placid creatures will not dare take a single step without the harness of the cart to which they are tethered, the guardians then show them the danger which threatens if they try to go alone. Actually, however, this danger is not so great, for by falling a few times they would finally learn to walk alone. But an example of this failure makes them timid and ordinarily frightens them away from all further trials."
