In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, Kief Ericson and Sage Haze light up and lean into the strange, sluggish world of boredom. Is boredom a bug in the human system—or a feature? They explore how boredom shapes creativity, self-awareness, and even societal change. From scrolling aimlessly to staring at ceilings, the duo posits that maybe boredom isn’t something to escape… but something to listen to.

In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, your hazy hosts Sage Haze and Kief Ericson twist up the truth and spark a conversation about lying. Why do we do it? Is it always wrong? Can a lie ever be more honest than the truth? From little white fibs to big existential deceptions, we untangle the philosophical knots of dishonesty and explore whether reality itself might be one big con. Light up, lean in, and let's get real about being fake.

In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, Kief Ericson and Sage Haze dive deep into the surreal, mysterious, and often perplexing world of dreams. Are they just random neural firings, or do they hold deeper meaning? We explore the different theories behind dreaming—Freud’s subconscious desires, Jung’s collective unconscious, and the modern neuroscience take that dreams are just the brain’s way of sorting information.

But, of course, we take things further. Can dreams be portals to alternate realities? Do they offer glimpses into the future? And why does our dream logic make perfect sense until we wake up? We also swap some of our own weirdest, wildest, and most inexplicable dream experiences—because let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good "you won’t believe what I dreamed last night" story?

And since we’re high while recording, expect a few deep tangents—like, what if reality is just one big collective dream? What if you are just a dream someone else is having? Or, on a more practical note, can we train ourselves to lucid dream and take control?

Whether you’re a believer in the mystical power of dreams or just think they’re brain static, this episode will make you question what happens when you close your eyes at night. So spark up, settle in, and let’s dream together.
