Topic: Corporate Employment

The discussion explores the evolution of Japanese society from historical feudalism to modern mega-corporations. While Japan has a unique "culture industry" and merchandise fetishism, the younger generation is beginning to move away from the traditional model of lifelong employment. Corbett notes that the old feudal lords have essentially been replaced by corporate overlords, though social structures are currently undergoing significant changes.

Greg Carlwood and Adam Goritely conclude the show by discussing the struggle of corporate employment and the goal of personal liberation. Goritely promotes his blog, "Transmissions From A Dying Planet," before the episode closes with a remix of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams."
