Reject rationalism! Embrace the proletarian élan vital!
This episode is really so beautiful. Especially in light of the past few weeks in Minnesota. We reflect on King’s meaning of love, political praxis and spirituality, and what it means to take seriously King as both a socialist *and* religious actor. Hope y’all enjoy it!

“Much about what Ezra Klein argues is objectionable,”—including “the appeal to debate as ’persuasion,’ which confuses the mere appearance of giving and responding to reasons with the substance of good-faith rational inquiry,” writes columnist @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social.
"Our development as rational agents is never wholly self determined. We come into a world where certain meanings have already been decided before we have had the chance to evaluate them according to our individual powers of judgement."(p.150)
Haha well i am working on a series which is gonna discuss Hayek at length so I disagree! We live in Hayek's world, whether we like it or not. All the interesting parts have nothing to do with his conflict with Keynes tho
new episode out now! we talk about literature and Marxism through the work of Raymond Williams. this turns out mostly to be an excuse to reveal ourselves as big Jane Austen fans. the full episode is a patron exclusive, teaser below www.patreon.com/posts/139000...

Another thoughtful and kind review of Race, Time, and Utopia! I am happy to see people engage the book. (Review link below)
new episode! we look back on Hardt and Negri's seminal Empire. they really captured something important about geopolitics at the turn of the century, but where are we now? much love to our militant comrades ❤️🔥 www.patreon.com/posts/133521...
this isn't hard to understand. the left believes in consistent things like 'everyone should have healthcare' and 'human rights are good' while the right has to encompass everything from traditional family values conservatism to overt nazi shit to seed oil antivax conspiracism and gamergate incels
I loved discussing MacIntyre (warts and all). After Virtue is a real classic!
This was a very insightful and fun conversation! Thanks for having me on!
Good @leftofphilosophy.bsky.social episode on Veblen and the weird habits of the rich
