In this episode, Craig, Will, and Adam perform a close reading of Gilles Deleuze's "What is a Creative Act?" and Giorgio Agamben's response, "What is an Act of Creation?", examining the respective nuances in the philosophers' views of creativity.Support the Show.Support the podcast:https:...

Technic and Magic: Politics, Neoplatonism, and the Limits of Language with Federico Campagna
Federico's 'The Last Night' on Zer0 Books: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/zer0-books/our-books/last-nightTechnic and Magic: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/technic-and-magic-9781350044036/We take for granted that only certain kind of things exist – electrons but not angels, passports but not nymphs. This is what we understand as 'reality'. But in fact, 'reality' varies with each era of the world, in turn shaping the field of what is possible to do, think and imagine. Our contemporary age ha...

QUIT EVERYTHING with Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Acid Horizon, and Kenny Novis
Pre-Order Here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/761928/quit-everything-by-franco-berardi/In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion". A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.Berardi a...

A Witch’s Flight
Listening to Acid Horizon is like attending the graduate program in philosophy I never got to attend. The three enviously powerful young minds of Adam, Will and Craig (Craig perhaps a little less young but quite youthful and spry) cut radiants from a core of poststructuralist theory into the many folds of thinking, feeling, and living, always with an urgent ethical dimension and flight towards a yet-to-be mapped possibility and freedom. There some great podcasts out there, but this by far is my favorite.
Enjoying it so far
I find nothing of intellectual or moral value on the right wing of the political spectrum and I question anyone who does. From Kirk and Guenon to Schmitt to Hayek. It’s all just worship of hierarchy and purity - satisfying basic animal emotions and projecting the savage sick conservative psyche on all humans and calling it “human nature”. Considering the above, I’m left (no pun intended) to separate the wheat from the chaff on the left and center left. As far as I can see there is an orgy of ideas on the left - good and bad. The fundamental problem is finding the time to seriously consider them all because accepting any at face value would be stupid, as there are plenty of very stupid leftist ideas. There are also plenty of dangerous leftist ideas and leftist claims that are disgusting lies (biological sex isn’t binary, Darren Merrager isn’t a criminal, etc). In any case, the episode on Campagna’s Technik and Magic model was wonderful, and it was fun to hear the author expound on the ideas I hear referenced so often on the Weird Studies podcast. I’m on the side of Magic. Reality cannot be reduced to language. No matter what the leftist activists or the fascists say.
Great Podcast!
I’ve listened to this great podcast for about a year now. I love all the various guests. The hosts of the show are lively and ask wonderful questions. This is a must listen if you’re looking to challenge your perspective and grow in knowledge!
