Philip Dick, Man In The High Castle - Blackmail, Business, & Edfrank Custom Jewelry
This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century American science-fiction short story writer and novelist, Philip K. Dick's novel The Man In The High Castle It focuses specifically on how Frank Frink and Ed McCarthy begin their Edfrank Custom Jewelry company after Frink is fired by Harlan Wyndam-Matson from his company where Frank has been producing fake American artifacts. They blackmail Wyndam-Matson in order to get their start-up money, and then begin producing their jewelry. In Frank's mind, this means lowering themselves morally to the level of Wyndam-Matson To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler You can get a copy of Man In The High Castle here - https://amzn.to/45yJ2ie
