131 - A.K. 47 - Bonus Episode - The Fun Manifesto

A.K. 47 - Selections from the Works of Alexandra Kollontai

In this bonus episode, Kristen Ghodsee welcomes back her now almost 22-year-old daughter to discuss a theory of fun. What would a society look like if we prioritized the ability of everyone to have as much fun as they wanted (in whatever form that fun might take)? Rather than worrying about the fitness benefits of different human behaviors, maybe all we really need to do is focus on having a good time, and the rest will take care of itself.
Mentioned in this episode:

• The Barbie Movie
• Antonio Gramsci
• Max Weber and the Protestant Ethic
• Cyndi Lauper song: "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
• Taylor Swift "22"
