Page 452: If You’re Not Using Calipers, it’s Just Sparkling Racism

CW: In this episode we briefly discuss the racist and completely discredited pseudoscience of phrenology. We also talk about the discredited theory of Stockholm Syndrome. Kvothe finally meets the woman he must seduce, and promptly (metaphorically) puts his elbow in the butter. We play the pronunciation game, and discuss divination and phrenology. We then tangent pretty early on into discussing Stockholm Syndrome, which has nothing whatsoever to do with this page. We get back to the page by discussing how Meluan Lackless reminds Kvothe of somebody … and maybe somebody else! We also discuss the kinds of clues that an author leaves behind for second-time readers or podcasters with nothing left to lose. To make up for our frequent tangents in this episode, our episode finishes with a climactic orgy of theory-babbling based on a letter from a long time reader. Then we tangent back into nonsense town. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com twitch.tv/pageofthewind If you want to donate to the SFWA’s Legal Fund to help ensure that authors like Alan Dean Foster are paid the royalties they are owed, here is the link: www.sfwa.org/about/benevolent-funds/legal-fund/ If you would like to donate to help the Palestinian people in their ongoing struggle against settler-colonial violence, you can donate at any one of these links: Islamic Relief Canada www.islamicreliefcanada.org/emergencies…1yEQAvD_BwE Eye on Palestine facebook.com/eyeonpalestine.official/ Save The Children https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/where-we-work/middle-east/occupied-palestinian-territory Palestine Children’s Relief Fund https://www.pcrf.net/ International Medical Corps https://internationalmedicalcorps.org/country/gaza/
