On the Unregistered Podcast with Thaddeus Russell
This is a good one. We had an incredible conversation which I hope comes across. I think it does. And it turns out I'm bald. Who knew?
Watch and listen as Thaddeus and I cover a lot of ground including:
- What is sophistry and why I call myself a sophist
- What kairos is and ecological, embodied decision making (For ex, how do you know when to leave the sauna? When do lean in for that kiss?)
- Classical vs. Modern Rhetoric, or Fred Astaire (monumental) vs. Gene Kelly (anywhere, any time)
- The middle voice
- Psychedelics & hallucinations
- The plenum of affect (with reference to Leibniz)
- The icky way of adamance or in defense of Socratic irony in the age of Twitter
- I confess that I voted. Egad!
- Romance and marriage refracted through the infinite
- Love and the way of attraction
- Allen Ginsberg, Burroughs, and the Beats
- Crypto and the rise of the Information Age of Abundance
- And take my class on Nietzsche
