## Resource

In this essay, I discuss Peter Sloterdijk's philosophical work, "Bubbles". A bubble is the relational space that includes two people. In the past, people have created bubbles that were rich with meaning, but such bubbles have become nihilistic spaces under capitalism. How might we re-enchant our bubbles and reinspire post-capitalist meaning? If you like this episode, please be sure to 5 star the podcast and follow for more!
