"A wild philosophical ride that is as funny as it is timely and as mind expanding as it is mind bending." Daria Sommers, award-winning director, writer and producer Step into the twisted corridors of Bertram's Emporium, where the mundane meets the macabre in a carnival of unrestrained wit and biting satire. In the madness of contemporary culture wars, the Emporium serves no ideology. It serves up iconoclasm. From hillbilly erotic philosophy to a cancel rag that declares the Sun triggering, from The Pronoun Simulator to The Abortion Avatar, from neocon unicorn princess to Antifa blackshirt, no extreme of the ideological spectrum is too self-absurd to spare. On one end, the far-right's demands for freedom from sweeping government powers evaporate the moment their own sacred cows of religious education and fetuses are at stake. On the other, militant gender identity ideology undermines the rights of the very people it patronizingly claims to protect, with dangerous implications for women, trans people, and detransitioners. On the whole, the absurdity of those ideologies is on plain display to those residing between the extremes who long for a more reasoned approach. Bertram's Emporium delivers one in the guise of humorist social commentary vignettes. It also delivers purely comedic pieces at a time when everybody can use a laugh. Welcome to the Emporium.

Autorenporträt
From Colombia to Israel to Canada, and in the process, from Judaism to apostasy via philosophy, Ariel Peckel is of no fixed identity. He obtained a PhD from the University of Toronto in philosophy of religion with a focus on the Enlightenment and on modern naturalism and atheism, writing a dissertation on Hume, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein. He has published an award-winning article in the journal Hume Studies (2024), and divides his time between academic writing and satirical social commentary, aspiring to refine the art of tipping sacred cows in both domains.
