 The Wasteland Symposium: Experts of Nothing, Arguing About Everything

In the ruins of civilization, only one thing remains untouched by time: pointless debates.


Welcome to The Wasteland Symposium, where survivalists, scavengers, and self-proclaimed intellectuals gather to argue over the most absurd, impractical, and completely unnecessary post-apocalyptic topics imaginable. Should expired canned beans be legal currency? Is a shopping cart a viable mode of transportation? Can pigeons be trained to deliver wasteland messages? We don’t promise answers, but we do promise chaos.

Each week, two new ‘experts’ step into the wasteland’s most unhinged debate forum, moderated by a voice of questionable authority. Their arguments? Confidently incorrect. Their survival strategies? Debatable at best. Their ability to convince you they’re right? Disturbingly effective.

In the wasteland, being right isn’t nearly as important as being loud. Welcome to The Wasteland Symposium, where logic is optional, and entertainment is inevitable.Copyright Thrivocalypse
