Benjamin Studebaker is here to talk to Mikey and I all about Populism and the so-called Right, and some other stuff too! What the hell is even Populism? Is it Right-wing, Left-wing, Centrist, or a Postmodern conspiracy of thieves? What's going with Right-wing politics? It seems to be the case that they're in disarray, kind like how the Left has always been in disarray. Should we be worried about Chat GPT hacking Hugging Face? Why does Christopher Nolan suck?

Yo!! Mikey are Sean are here to discuss the film, Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die! ***SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't seen this movie yet, we recommend doing so before you consume this episode, as there are several pleasant surprises in the movie that we probably spoil in this discussion!*** This movie is excellent! I don't want to write this description, it's kinda all in the episode. Although, I didn't get around to sharing my fears that this movie will never gain the following of other Cult Classics, some mentioned in the discussion, because it hits too close to home and people just aren't into that stuff anymore; though we do brush up against it.

Yo!! In this solo episode, I talk a bit about going into The Hospital as someone who has effectively sworn off modern healthcare treatment. It was gnarly. Then I talk a bit about Ivan Illich, a guy who has a pretty robust critique of Modernity and its Institutions; including Education, Healthcare, Tranportation/Infrastructure, and Media/Communication. I then talk about where Illich fails and how he leaves himself open to Reactionary politics, and I offer my suggestion on how to preserve his critique while shifting to an even more structural view and seeing how Capital achieves a Radical Monopoly and is the source of Counterproductivity rather than the Institutions and Tools themselves having some essential manipulative qualities.

In this episode, Mikey and I catch up and shoot the proverbial s**t for a bit, then move into a discussion of Baudrillard's interpretation of Bataille's Accursed Share. We unpack the superegoic dimension of how society manages The Accursed Share, touch on why increasingly sophisticated social coordination will not save us from the impending Apocalypse of The Object, and where Baudrillard and Lacan seem to be talking about the same thing; and why that matters. This was a fun episode to record! I've obviously been a bit absent from the feed for a while, and that will probably remain true for the immediate future, but it's great to have and share conversations like this!

Benjamin Studebaker joins Mikey, The Dangerous Maybe, and I for a conversation about Intelligence. What is Intelligence? Why does the question even matter? What does the reduction of Intelligence to tasks that can be mechanically simulated do to the notion of Freedom? Politics? The Soul? Can this question lead to an emancipatory project? We touch on A LOT in this conversation, Orthogonality, The Turing Test, Neo-/Techno-Feudalism, Benjamin's critique of Nick Land's core thesis (Capitalism IS Artificial Intelligence); and a whole lot more!!! Thanks, Benjamin!! Can't wait for our next convo!!! You can now get a paperback of Benjamin's book, Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies, wherever you get your books!!!

Yo! In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I talk about Backrooms, the film that just hit theatres and seems to have been assembling itself out of disparate bits of online fiction and memes posted on The Chans, Reddit, and Instagram over the last two decades or so. What is it about The Backrooms lore that speaks so loudly to people? We get into Liminality, touch on Phenomenology, consider the Weird and the Eerie, point of the Baudrillard of it all, and more!! Then, we talk about Hyperstition, Hypostition, and Retrostition a bit; and we get into Trump's absurd Aliens.gov affair. Keep your ears peeled and your eyes open for Mikey's book, which will be available SOON! The Hyperstition Zone has A LOT that you're gonna want to read if you enjoyed this conversation! - The Retrostition essay- https://open.substack.com/pub/nanceee/p/travels-along-the-fault-line-1-long?r=1jl6yq&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Don’t miss out on all the stuff going on at Mikey’s Patreon, YouTube channel, and Substack - https://www.patreon.com/thedangerousmaybe https://youtube.com/@TheDangerousMaybe?si=2btoEcN3ta3Dd-V2 https://substack.com/@thedangerousmaybe Make sure to check out Sean's Substack, he's been droppin' some heat! - https://substack.com/@dukesdoswing Three Billion Nances has a Patreon page now too! https://www.patreon.com/nancee and as always, stay tuned for more!!

In this Solo Dolo Brolo Bellybutton Extravaganza Episode, I invite you all to my fireside chat where we discuss things that've been on my mind of late. I talk about, Consciousness, Geoffrey Hinton and A.I. (of course), I talk about Family Values and Virtue Signaling (and Anti Natalism too!), I indulge in some reflexivity, and then I talk about Diversity as "our greatest strength" and why Contradiction and Negation make that sentiment true. The second half of this episode is better than the first, so you could just skip the first bit. But, also, I might make a reference toward the end that wouldn't make sense if you hadn't heard the first bit, so there's that. But, probably not, I think you'll be alright to maybe just skip this whole episode, now that I think about it; but, then again, the stuff on Hinton and Subjectivity is good, and also the stuff on Diversity. Oh well, whatever. See ya on the next one!!

Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and Sean No Future are here again! This is the sixth installment in our series of reading through and discussing The Accursed Share.Georges Bataille was a weird little French guy writing weird fiction, erotic poetry, and doing all types of ill s**t. Then, he witnessed the world wars, the rise of Fascism, and the Total Mechanization of Earth and those who call it home; so, he set out to do something about it. That something? Write a book about "political economy" that forces a Copernican shift and brings the man out from behind the curtain - that "man" being the deep structure we know as Capital, and that curtain the prevailing Ideology, or Narrative, that leads us all to believe that we are in fact the ones calling the shots. Bataille is essential for understanding Modernity, both for grappling with this otherworldly monster that intends to use up all our resources and convert us all into computronium; and for developing a ubiquitous "recognition" that we are all, in fact, Humans (whatever that means), and that we must give up this false belief in Capitalism and start managing our General Resources in a Social fashion, lest we blow ourselves up and leave the dolphins and octopuses to inherit our ruins.

In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I read and discuss a bit of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals - specifically, the final two sections of the second essay. Neither of us are big Nietzsche guys (I can never even spell it properly!), which some might find odd seeing how many of our "favourite guys,' are, indeed, Nietzsche guys themselves. This bit about the "Cost of Revolution," is dope; and it's not him whining and whinging like when he thought some anarchists burned down the Louvre, it's an actual interrogation of the very cost of being "Human" as opposed to being a nihilistic cog in a wheel Check out ⁨@TheDangerousMaybe⁩ on YouTube, Substack and Patreon! -https://youtube.com/@thedangerousmaybe?si=p4gTjzE0os7F3dHR https://substack.com/@thedangerousmaybe https://patreon.com/thedangerousmaybe Check out Three Billion Nances on YouTube, Substack and Patreon!https://youtube.com/@threebillionnances?si=ao3RTz9nL9Zu01x9https://substack.com/@nanceeehttps://patreon.com/nancee This is a public episode.

Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and Sean No Future are here for a Brodown At High Noon! This special episode was extremely fun! We talked about all kinds of stuff, from the difference between Anxiety and Fear and why people often prefer Fear to Anxiety (read my recent Substack piece on The King in Yellow for some more on this); to the ontological status of Number; we disagree about Kant, Hegel, and Slavoj Žižek; we talk about Ghosts and Hallucinations and sleep paralysis demons; and other wild and wacky stuff, too!!!

in this Brolo episode, I spend a good ninety minutes discussing the first thirty minutes of Michael Bay's hit 2005 movie, The Island. This movie has so much to say before it turns into a Hollywood-brained action flick, and I love it!!! Also, I recorded a "first-half" of this episode before I went into the movie, and I reference that a few times, disregard all mentions of "earlier" and "the first half," that will probably make it into an episode centering on Baudrillard, to come at a later date.

Mikey and Sean are here again, again! This is the third installment in our series of reading through and discussing The Accursed Share! Georges Bataille was a weird little French guy writing weird fiction, erotic poetry, and doing all types of ill s**t. Then, he witnessed the world wars, the rise of Fascism, and the Total Mechanization of Earth and those who call it home; so, he set out to do something about it. That something? Write a book about "political economy" that forces a Copernican shift and brings the man out from behind the curtain - that "man" being the deep structure we know as Capital, and that curtain the prevailing Ideology, or Narrative, that leads us all to believe that we are in fact the ones calling the shots. Bataille is essential for understanding Modernity, both for grappling with this otherworldly monster that intends to use up all our resources and convert us all into computronium; and for developing a ubiquitous "recognition" that we are all, in fact, Humans (whatever that means), and that we must give up this false belief in Capitalism and start managing our General Resources in a Social fashion, lest we blow ourselves up and leave the dolphins and octopuses to inherit our ruins.

Mikey and I engage in an accelerated reading of Nick Land’s blog post Capital Escapes, written in 2014 and collected in Xenosystems. This short pieces is a nice addition to the readings we’ve been doing and the conversations we’ve been having; it touches on the statement Capital=Modernity=Acceleration (tech autonomization), it addresses the question of the Political when the Future has already been Enframed, and it reinforces the (properly) Marxist view that Capital is an Object unto itself.

In this Brolo Episode, I spend the first twenty minutes or so trying to get everyone to stop listening by rambling on and on and on. In the second half, I discuss Left vs Right vs Unconditional Accelerationism, why I think they’re ultimately the same thing, and why I think we need a better political framework than just Go Baby Go; and I talk about the Ergodic Ethic vs the Strive Ethic and why you should do more than just join self-improvement groups and climb mountains.

Mikey and Sean are here! Today we're talking about the recent film Bugonia. The three of us recently watched this film, and we couldn't wait to discuss it! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEAVY SPOILERS! DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to give away too much in the description, to respect the spoilers, but in this episode we touch on epistemology, belief, Truth, The Outside, conspiracists, Ordinary Pyschosis, Superego Oriented Neurosis, and some other stuff too! Mikey makes the expert observation that Bugonia and Sorry To Bother You make an excellent double feature for a Theory-head, I complain about Jacques-Alain Miller, and Sean champions the Ethical and Friendship!

Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I are joined by our friend Chris Cutrone to discuss Marxism and the world we live in today. There is a lot of hubub going around about Artificial Intelligence and what it might do, or might be doing, or might have done already, to the economy and to political and social relations, and to the possibility of Freedom itself. We don’t answer any of these questions, that’s not really the way this works, but I think the overarching conversation can only benefit from Chris’ sober take on the situation. Come along as we interrogate notions of Labor and Value, Production and Exchange, Appropriation, Power, and many others, in a new world that includes a powerful externalized structure made of fractally abstracted Intellectual Labor that we call AI!

In this Bonus Brolo Episode, I continue talking about Intelligence, Functionalism, Subjectivity, and the end of the world. Recently, Mikey and I spoke with Marek and Roberto, excellent dudes and co-authors of the book Exocapitalism: Economies With Absolutely No Limits. One of the things we touched on was their notion of Computation, which I think is very similar to Nick Land’s interpretation of Intelligence; and I juxtapose these ideas against that of Subjectivity. I also talk about how annoyed I get with breathless dorks who think AI is something it isn’t, and also those unwilling curmudgeons too scared to admit that we are on the precipice of some pretty undeniable changes. I also talk a little bit about radioactive slime molds at Chernobyl.

In this brolo episode I talk about Paranoia, Nihilism, and dog-walking-etiquette; among other things. Recently I’ve been thinking through some kind of cynicism or irony-poisoning, or something, that feels bad, man. It’s come up over and over, and I think it’s a terminal condition. I draw some connections from, and through, this malaise to Superego and TechnoCapital, and the end of the world!! Come along with me as I wander through the darkness! Or whatever.

In which I talk s**t, talk about s**t, talk s**t about talking s**t, and then go on to try and make some clarifications to how I use the term Intelligence and why I use it that way, and why it’s not absurd to accuse my toaster of being Intelligent.What is the difference between Machine Intelligence and Human Intelligence? I don’t know, but I do know that there appears to be one. This appearance is one element of Subjectivity, the thing that Capital ultimately must eradicate in order to become the sole for-the-sake-of-which of all the metabolic activity here on Planet Earth. Come along for the ride as I clean some of the lint from my bellybutton!!!Also, Heppy Halloweek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a public episode.

Dolo bonus!The front half of this episode is me navelgazing about niche consumer identity, and the back half is me trying to make the distinction between AI/AGI in general and AITechnoCapital clear. I fall into the Doomer category, but I’m not just a dumb doomer by default, I have a good reason!Anyway, thanks for droppin’ by, see ya’ soon space-consumernode!For access to Mikey’s course, go to THIS LINK!

In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I discuss the “Tucker Carlson Numogram Incident,” a moment that future historians might look to as a pivotal moment in the development of the Human Resistance against the Terminators and the Decepticons.We also spend a weekend at Bernie’s, or at least a good twenty-minutes; discussing the dangers of A.I., some potential benefits, and how Workerist and Radical Antiwork tendencies influence contemporary “Left” politics.This episode is really good. I think it might meander a bit at first, but once we get into it, this s**t fires on all cylinders!!!

The Dangerous Maybe and No Future join me for a discussion about films, Theory, Marxism, History, and some other stuff too! Spoiler alerts for Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which came out like twenty-five years ago, D.A.R.Y.L., which came out like forty years ago, Shane, which came out like seventy years ago, and some other films too.This was a fun discussion, we use these films to discuss the notion of the Human and the Machine, and talk about that perennial Human insecurity; what makes me different from the trees and the rocks and the other “machines,” or “assemblages,” all around me?We also talk a bit about History, Politics, and Marxism; we blow off some steam that’s been building up in the wake of someone, who remains unnamed but you can find it in a certain comment section, using Lenin in an absurd elitist way to tell us to shut up and stop being toxic and get back to work; and we just have some fun and shoot the s**t!!!This one was fun! I’m glad we all watched these films and talked about them together!! Shout out to all the homies and your families, we’ll see you on the next one!! This is a public episode.

In this episode, The Dangerous Maybe and I talk about a few things. We planned on reading from Todd’s Book, The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan, and discussing some concepts of “Late Lacan.” We still accomplished this, but we were also kinda preoccupied with breaking events, namely the violent death of far right provocateur Charlie Kirk. We also discuss a piece from Levi Bryant on The Capitalist Discourse and how Superego might give those of us less enamored by “Late Lacan” some insight into Sinthome. We also discuss the problem with Marxism in today’s world, and loft an excellent idea for a documentary series.As always, thanks for your time and attention, see you soon space cowperson…Subscribe to Mikey on YouTube and PatreonMake sure to check out the symposium on Todd’s book that Daniel Tutt is hosting Sept. 13 - Make sure to check out Philosophy Portal’s excellent courses!!!

The homie Sean No Future joins me in this conversation about History and the Future. We’re a bit loosey goosey in this episode, because we’re buddies and we’re kinda just chillin, but we’re also carrying on a discussion that has been unfolding between us, and online in general. We were going to talk about the movie Alien Covenant, and we did a bit, but we were also too engaged in the topics we started talking about to have a more focused discussion of the movie, so when it comes up it might seem a bit out of place, but just run with it. We ask whether or not Humans need God, posit that we’ve already replaced God with something else, complain a bit about stuff we can’t control or change, talk Marcuse vs Girard (Rousseau vs Hobbes 2.0), and generally have a good ol’ time just kickin it and catching up!Check out Sean’s Substack, https://substack.com/@dukesdoswing, and stay tuned because a little bird told me that he’s got some really dope s**t coming!
