Episode 20: "GRRM vv JRRT; The Quandary of Aragorn's Tax Policy"
Manage episode 297437286 series 2847858
In this twentieth episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry & Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire and a cast of several ask: Is GRRM successful in asking meaningful questions about his character’s ‘tax policies’?
Our analysis this week includes:
- Learned Hands invites wonderful and thought provoking amicus curiae briefs from WBA members Ray, Adriana, Pat, Jimi, Lo, Alex, Virginie, and some other guy (Frank).
- Merry and Clint wrestle with the proper legal standard to apply to the question, aided by Adriana and Ray.
- Steven Stark beautifully renders GRRM’s tax policy quotation.
- Pat raises great questions about baby orc genocide!
- Lo beautifully critiques GRRM’s treatment of Dany’s white saviorism.
- Alex points out gaping holes in GRRM’s treatment of race and sexuality.
- Jimi hoists the hosts on their own petard
- Virginie analyzes the question in the context of TORMUND THUNDERFIST, HUSBAND TO HOSTS, etc etc
- Frank manages to make an argument without mentioning Stannis EVEN ONCE.
- Clint talks about tax policy and crenelations!
- Merry does a sexy Oberyn Martell impression!
- The court renders an opinion on both the book AND the show.
Supplemental reading:
- Pat's essay on how the Starks are like Orcs
- Clint's essay on Westeros and the Social Contract
- Lo the Lynx's treasure trove of essays
Extensive editing by LittleWolfBird. Bumpers by Jimi Mac. Intro & Outro music courtesy Sid Luscious & The Pants. None of this should be construed as legal advice OBVIOUSLY.
