As reported just this week, the Arctic is now a net source of carbon emissions. There is more carbon stored in the now thawing permafrost than is currently stored in the atmosphere. We are increasing global average temperatures by 0.36 degrees celcius per decade now, meaning we will hit 2 degrees above pre-industrial temps by the late 2030s. At this temperature, all Arctic permafrost starts to irreversibly thaw and the Amazon begins its transition from rainforest to savannah. These conversations are amusing at best in the light of all this. Especially the discussion of the 'choice' of 'degrowth'. As always, physics will have the last say.

Interesting analysis

Props to the thumbnail you've intergrated the profile well

Thanks for having us on comrade!

Fine, I’ll kick back and enjoy the black pill

WHAT A LINK UP WOW NICE

if everything is this dysfunctional, doesn't that provide any movement that get some degree of competence a massive competitive advantage?

Soft? I don't think so. Ridiculous.

To comment on the beginning, a vlog doesnt necessarily imply a singular person. For example "The traveling band's vlog" seems a reasonable use of the word, and functionally "andrews vlog" could include multiple people as andrew may be vlogging about his experiences with a team or group. Solo lets us know its just you showing up !

Office in Portland.. hmm, idk who you mean.

The best make you startle to silence.

The mistake in thinking that you're being soft on some guests who have certain tendencies seems to come from the misconception that your _show_ is, in some miraculous way, political action or practice. As you've pointed out, too many people treat podcasts, and punditry as a proxy for praxis. These people need to escape the melodramas of their own minds and accept their lack of access to actual politics. This is all infotainment -- pedagogy in the dress of cable access.

LOL at anyone claiming Derick is "soft" on anything.

It's insane how the west is celebrating fall of Syria to rebranded Al Qaeda led by former ISIS deputy. Hope it doesn't affect Hezbollah struggle against Israel

Sssoooo what I hear you saying is: we have to get higher quality psykers for the Emporer, not just more.

I don't think ur talking to me, LMAO

there Are no Adults, you totAlly convinced me

My question on foucault is what kind of idealist is he? It's no question that he is influenced by Heideggerian thought but on the other hand, and I might be wrong about this, but it seems that he is suspicious of the subjective, contra Heidegger, that one interview quote where he cautions against the use of gay identity into replicating Christian morality, or the general accusation that he wants to do away the idea of the subject doesn't fit neatly with the issues raised in this article, to me at least. While many make use of the quote foucault makes about hegel as a conclusive statement about the compatibility between the two thinkers. What's left out is that the hegel foucault is opposed to is Kojève's hegel, not the various interpretations popular in hegel scholarship.

Thanks for the breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

4:29 you're saying nobody focuses on or takes seriously the Nazi involvement but Theory Underground has made a pretty big point of that, no? McKerracher and Nance did a 24 hour stream in two parts within two days reading and elaborating on Heidegger in Ruins, and the political question is a major thread throughout McKerracher's lecture course on Being and Time.

Varn has a way of consolidating a lot of different ideas from a huge range of thinkers. It helps me make some sense out of this shit.

So Heidegger collapses the subject/object dialectic into mere subjectivity? That certainly explains a lot.

Ideas & interpretations are real events...

Wanna see engagement with Afropessimist adoptions

Thanks for this

lol political sovereignty is an idea

26:44 I'd just tell Engels that I'm not here to grant the miracle of the big bang. Not like it matters one way or another (almost certainly).

Very interesting. To be fair, I do not think that Latour's actual position is that he denies the material existence of the bacteria. But he argues that attributing his death to a disease identified millennia later is anachronistic, as the conceptual framework to recognize and understand the bacillus did not exist in Ramses II's time. This perspective emphasizes that scientific facts are constructed through historical and social processes, rather than existing as immutable truths awaiting discovery. Facts are both: real and constructed which I find rather uncontroversial. Imo, he is less of a philosopher and more of a sociologist.

~23:00 I'm thinking contingency is the key insight here. It'd be a great shame if normally, people assumed that reality is really real and I have talked to someone before who really wanted me to buy into that. As if it really meant something one way or another as to what we should do. Well that guy had problems but also money. He was really into getting his definitions "perfect". Like just give me your definition and I give you mine and let's have a mutually intelligible conversation on that basis. But no.

When you say things like "avowed Heideggarian" and the person in question says in another place that ~"Heidegger is too much about individuals but Heidegger stands to provide insight to western thinkers that they usually wouldn't get elsewhere" you raise my interest in your interpretation of the argument you picked up from the text in question. Would you reproduce the logic for me in a few sentences?

Never go full Latour

Academia, simp for a Nazi; cancel for supporting Palestine.

On the point of repetition and gastric issues I'll just say don't sleep on mild allergy cross reactivity. No hazelnuts for me.

Great discussion. Hugely informative.

How can one choose when one has been deprived of choices?

My brother describes me as "Søren Kierkegaard meets Kenny Powers".

what do you think The Leviathans are/is? do you take this in a non Christian form? i feeling like your missing a big part of the view he and many other creators of institutions had laid down. most of all of them was to have a ""perfect"" Society the rich man's Pastime game. the ""summum bonum"" they think they are more moral than you, thus you should obey the theory of government and laws to help you reach that. to be honest the Leviathan are the very people claiming to help you while getting rich lol all the top role models rn. path to hell is wide. the goal and problem is the soul. what is it? how do you have it? the Leviathan thinks you are soulless and can now do whatever it wants to you but like all the other times in the bible when the Jews are in slavery if they saw that they had left God and vehemently sought him and repented they could free themselves of the Leviathan to a degree that they were under God. hard to claim to understand if you really just don't get it . but that's the oldest trope maybe they just did it wrong. lmao

Love me some smart enemies. Hobbes is one of the smartest.

Only Derick could render Hobbs intriguing to me.

Only militarists use the term, and when they use it, it should be pointed out that no one’s calling for US citizens to stop traveling or trading or interacting with the rest of the world, only questioning the viability, usefulness, & morality of US power projectIon given the damage it’s wrought both here & abroad.

Really been enjoying these. Our boy in top form.

It was an amazing reading.

I want to defend liberal atomism to an extent, and thus defend Hobbes on this aspect. I think that Hobbes's notion that we started without sociality can actually be partially defended considering that we did not really "start" as humans, but rather we started as single celled organisms, which in turn needed to develop sociality. Either we have to consider instincts as having in and of themselves social content or we have to consider these instincts as inevitably leading to social content: the difference being humans having the instinctive capability to walk upright, but nonetheless need to learn how to walk upright: In the same way one could consider having instinctual capabilities that inevitably lead to social behavior, but the individual still is born without any social concepts as such, and is thus still born atomic. If on the other hand, instincts do have social content then while atomism cannot be justified as applying to the present directly, it still should be the bedrock of analysis historically through the evolution of life (and thus the progression of these instincts). Still, none of this justifies his emphasis of the negative advantages of sociality (preventing conflict) over the positive advantages of cooperation.

17:11 When Hobbes holds up custom (as showing respect) while practicing epistemic humility aka curiosity (a form of showing respect that at times may not be perceived as such) one must ask what he's actually pointing to. Was he also thinking about systems that could continue to improve themselves indefinitely?

Thanks varn. Freedom struggle for Palestine will never be over
