Heavy is the Head who Wears the Crown

About this Episode

Ssssymbolism conversation continues! And it's Luke's fault, not Gomer's! Luke brings up the meaning behind a King's crown and how society knew where it stood in relation to it. This expands to a whole fascinating look at modern clothing and how hyper-abundance shifts our priorities in how we look, actually making the wearing of formal attire less important.

We discuss how symbols in society end up impoverishing that society.

Luke then asks, _What came first: the destruction of the symbolic meaning or the loss of personal dignity? _
