On this episode of Analog Smile, Sherry speaks with Stefanie Ku and Conrad Schuman of Beautiful Machines. The genesis of electronic duo Beautiful Machines' new single "Baum Baum,” began in Berlin one winter on a three-month writing hiatus, during which time, Stefanie Ku and Conrad Schuman of the duo visited the famed Hansa Studios (Bowie, U2, Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode). The idea for the song came about when Conrad learned of the heart-wrenching, ever present news that there were thousands of unexploded “bombs” still posing a potentially catastrophic tragedy in the city, left over from World War II. As time continued on with an inevitable return to nature and peace, however, the city has been transformed; for instance imagine a “tree” breaking through the ground of a concrete jungle from a bombed-out city, life is starting anew. As ‘Baum' translates to “tree” in German, the song title itself serves as a play on words, while at the same time the pounding boom boom techno bass resonating through club walls served as a sonic onomatopoeia to this track and in a sense offering a kind of code to decipher. Baum Baum" follows their previous album singles “Control” and “Survive”. An act of synthesis that blends technology with art, the digital with the humane, Singularity is not only an album, but it's also an experience - a continually updating project that spans music, visuals, and performance. On one level, it's sparkling synth pop in line with everyone from Giorgio Moroder to The Human League, Nine Inch Nails to Robyn. On another, it's a total art experience, inspired by interstellar wanderings through the cosmic realms of Kraftwerk and Isaac Asimov. "Baum Baum'' is out now via Republic of Music. Singularity will be released Summer 2022. Sherry, Conrad, and Stefanie chat about their music, upcoming projects, technology, and much more! Check out beautifulmachines.space for details.

David Cayley is a broadcaster and author and perhaps the ‘godfather of podcasting'. He is best know known for documenting the philosophy of great thinkers of the 20th century, including Ivan Illich, Northrop Frye, George Grant, and Rene Girard. He has recently written a fantastic biography of Ivan Illich (Ivan Illich: An Intellectual Journey), which also documents his own adventure with ideas. We had a wonderful and deep conversation, about Ilich and his radical ideas. Will they become audible to us in the 21st Century?

Alex Ebert at the Stoa: Strange Attractor Roundtable on The Philosophy of Cool DONATE ON PAYPAL Patreon Parallax Facebook Medium Intro music: Beautiful Machines, by Andrew Sweeny --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-c709ee4/message

After listening to Alex Ebert's fantastic presentation ‘Dead Cool' at the Stoa we thought we would invite Alex, who like Alexander Bard, is a pop star turned philosopher for a discussion on ‘The Philosophy of Cool'. What is cool in the age of attentionalism? What is fake cool and what is real cool? How is cool related to Réne Girard's theories of mimetic desire. Originally part of the Sweeny vs Bard podcast, we thought it exemplified a lively round table and should be part of the Strange Attractor series. After all ‘cool' is a strange attractor and mysterious enough to merit a serious conversation. One of the coolest (in the sense of ‘most awesome') conversations so far. Part 2 coming soon. Alex Ebert is an erstwhile multiplatinum songwriter and Golden Globe-winning film composer now taking up philosophy in New Orleans. He is currently finishing his first book, Dead Cool, an analysis of sociodynamics and status anxiety in the age of Cool. Alexander Bard: Alexander Bard is a Swedish author, lecturer, artist, songwriter, music producer, TV personality, philosopher and political activist, and one of the founders of the Syntheist movement along with his co-author Jan Söderqvist. His books include “The Futurica Trilogy”, “Digital Libido” & “Syntheism”. Thomas Hamelryck is a Lecturer and Researcher at the Bioinformatics Centre at the University of Copenhagen Biocenter. His academic research interests revolve around Machine learning, Bayesian statistics, Protein Structure Prediction, Probabilistic Programming, Deep Learning. He is also an enthusiast of Réne Girard, and denies all rumours that he was once the keyboard player for Depeche Mode. Andrew Sweeny: Andrew Sweeny is a writer, editor, blogger, Youtuber, published poet, podcaster, musician, and teacher. He has worked as a touring musician and put out several albums, published a book of poetry, and animated two popular podcasts and a philosophical blog on Medium and now on Parallax.

A conversation where media artist and scholar Orsolya Bajusz tells her story about how as an activist she was attacked and scapegoated by a social justice lynch mob and how she won the war against mass psychosis and authoritarianism. A critique of woke culture and political correctness and how to live in a post woke future. Orsolya Bajusz concludes by telling us: ‘Don't be a doormat, don't be a pillar saint!'. Here is the summary of Orsolya Bajusz's story http://akulturharcontul.blogspot.com/2019/12/my-story-has-begun-in-enlightened-west.html Bio: Orsolya Bajusz is based in Budapest. Besides soon defending her Ph.D at the Sociology Department of Corvinus University of Budapest and teaching there, she produces work across multiple platforms, preferring to work in collaboration, networked practices or anonymously. Her Ph.D explores the role of the affective and visual registers in contemporary public debates and controversies around biotechnology, and thus exploring how posthuman praxes clash with the existing cultural imaginary, and she is working on developing a methodological framework to analyse the intersection of science communication and contemporary art. Her first book (a theory fiction) is under publishing.

Greg Kaminski is a man of gravity, learning, and dedication. In our wonderful two hour conversation, the creator of the podcast ‘Occult of Personality’ and author of the new book ‘Pronaos: Reflections on the Preliminary Practices of Buddhist Tantra from a Western Perspective’, shared something fantastic: that a particular series of preliminary practices in Buddhist Tantra known as ngondro is now openly available to people in the west, in glorious and poetic english—in full and unabashed form. These practices, which are usually associated with traditional Tibetan Buddhism and thought to be too arcane, too difficult, and too ‘eastern’, can now be done by westerners. Just ping brother Greg and he will set you up here: https://www.ngondro.org/ https://www.tanagana.com/welcome Ok, let me slow down here. These practices are hard and they might fuck you up, Greg tells me. They are not for everybody. On the other hand, they are extraordinarily beautiful and transformative. Greg’s book - Pronaos: Reflections on the Preliminary Practices of Buddhist Tantra from a Western Perspective: https://www.tanagana.com/books Bio: Greg Kaminski is a close student of Traktung Rinpoche and a practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism. He is also a long term podcaster, a scholar of medieval studies, an explorer of Mysteries and intimately familiar with Western esotericism. His prior works include an essay in The Art and Science of Initiation (2019) and the forthcoming Celestia Intelligences—angelology, Cabala, and Gnosis: Pico della Mirandola’s Quest for the Perennial Philosophy (2021).

The Tantric path gives us a Parallax or another view of reality. A description of the 9 vehicles of Buddhism including Tantra, comparing the Tantric approach with Western ‘eventological’ religion and Zoroastrianism. Note: This talk is shorter than usual because the depth of this topic requires at least 3 more talks, and this might be easier to digest. But it is still full of our usual mischievous fun and interruption of the banal.

Sweeny vs Bard S03E10: Western Tantra? - with Thomas Hamelryck Can Tantra flourish in western society that is predominantly Christian and Moslem? What are the historical roots of Tantra? Is Tantra a religion? Is Tantra sexual technique or a spiritual practice? A wide ranging discussion on all things Tantra, from Vajrayana Buddhist tantra to neo Tantra. A boisterous conversation that Alexander says is the best one we have had yet. (And Thomas H assures us that he is pretty indifferent to the 80’s synth band Depeche Mode. You be the judge).

Tammy Peterson grew up in the Canadian prairies (Fairview, Alberta) on a plateau she called ‘the top of the world’; she now lives in Toronto, Canada. She is a mother of two, a massage therapist, an artist, and the wife of the famous author and controversial professor Jordan Peterson. She is also a great storyteller with a subtle sense of humor, and is a profoundly wise person, I discovered in this interview. I spoke to her about her near-death experience and various trials and tribulations she endured over the past couple years and her subsequent spiritual ‘rebirth’ and decision to serve God as a result. She expressed gratitude for her husband’s work and serving him during his whirlwind world tour, but also trying to find meaning beyond her maternal role. Her big question during the tour was: 'what am I doing here'? Today she seems to have answered this question pretty definitively. Not only has she found new meaning and spiritual direction in her life, but she has also rediscovered her love for painting. Tammy Peterson is now a pretty cool grandmother and is speaking out fearlessly on zoom thanks to the deal she made with God! I hope she will be an important voice alongside her husband in the future. We need more matriarchs like her!

Here is the 7th of our ‘reinventio’ series—the latin word which means to both invent and discover. An amazing conversation where we go very deep on the agony of eros and the potential of agape. John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas. What makes Vervaeke special in my opinion is the breadth of his work, but his courage descend the ivory tower and talk to people ‘on the street’—and to exemplify his ideas. His hero is Socrates, and he embodies the living dialogue and courage that Socrates represents.

John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas. What makes Vervaeke special in my opinion is the breadth of his work, but his courage descend the ivory tower and talk to people ‘on the street’—and to exemplify his ideas. His hero is Socrates, and he embodies the living dialogue and courage that Socrates represents. Zak Stein is philosopher of education working at the interface of psychology, metaphysics, and politics. He has published two books, including Education in Time Between Worlds, along with dozens of articles. This writing was done as he worked co-founding a non-profit and think tank, as well as teaching graduate students at Harvard, and consulting with technology start-ups. Zak is a long time meditator, musician and caregiver, which has shaped him more than any professional engagements.

Clinton Ignatov is a Mcluhan scholar and has a labyrinthine mind like an eccentric Renaissance alchemist. He has a great YouTube channel called ‘Concerned Netizen’ where he goes into the weeds of this great Canadian scholar who discovered ‘The global village’ and then later renamed it ‘The global theater’. Alexander Bard’s philosophy is also aimed at, among other things, trying to understand Mcluhanism for the internet age, and contains the same challenging prophetic urgency, which is never moralistic.

Here is the 6th of our ‘reinventio’ series—the latin word which means to both invent and discover. We discuss why love is a virtue and why eros pervades all aspects of our lives. John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas.

Christopher is John Vervaeke’s writing and research partner and co-author of ‘Zombies in Western Culture: A Twentieth Century Crisis’. A great book which I have used for undergraduate classes in Paris. Chris is among other things an amazing wordsmith who writes and speaks like an 19th Century Henry James/Herman Melville!

Our first conversation with Cadell Last, an extraordinary new voice on the scene whose beard at least competes with Alexander’s, and who has written a great new book called Sex, God and Masculinity. We talked about a lot of things including Freudian psychoanalysis and socio-analysis, a defense of Freud and Hegel, the phallus and the fake phallus, exodology, and many themes familiar to this podcast. We talked about Alexander’s proposed Pro-topia, a world beyond the barred absolute and of creativity undreamed of. But also of the ‘rites of passage’ that the society will have to endure before we get there. Bio: Cadell Last is an anthropologist, philosopher and therapist focused on biocultural evolution, mind-matter relation and future speculations. He earned his PhD in interdisciplinary and complexity studies at the Evolution, Cognition and Complexity group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He is also the author of over a dozen academic publications and two books: Global Brain Singularity and Sex, Masculinity, God; as well as over a dozen academic publications.

Here is the fifth of our ‘reinventio’ series—the latin word which means to both invent and discover. We discuss the purpose and function of philia or sacred friendship, how a real friend differs from ordinary ‘buddies’ or ‘colleagues’.

A new season of Sweeny vs Bard with our now regular guest Thomas Hamelryck. In this discussion Alexander brings up the subject of forgiveness and ties this to the heroic principle and capitalist innovation with its ‘fail harder and try again’. We look at vulgar notions of karma within pagan cultures and more sophisticated notions in Buddhism and how forgiveness helps us to go beyond karma and the ‘eternal return of the same’. We talk about our usual suspects: Girard, Nietzsche, Whitehead, Hegel (and for me Trungpa). And we talk about the need for sex education, alchemy, and the barred absolute in religion. And we also discover what Alexander Bard eats for breakfast (Hegel of course). Enjoy.

Is art moral? Why was Plato censorious of art? Does art have a political function? How is art educational? Should art and philosophy be combined? What is the difference between art and entertainment? Is art about individual or communal expression? How is art related to what John calls ‘dialogos’? Here we continue to ‘reinventio’—the latin word which means to both invent and discover— perennial and popular subjects. We discuss the purpose and function of art from various perspectives: John from the point of view of cognitive science and philosophy, Christopher from the point of view theater and narrative, and Andrew as a songwriter. We concluded that art is about process rather than product, and that the good art leans towards religious experience.

Our latest discussion with Thomas Hamelryck, in which Alexander introduces his concept: The Anoject - a neologism he invented which means, roughly speaking, the anonymous accuser. We expand on this subject but also speak about the messiah, the martyr and the saint,, fields of potential beyond spacetime, quantum organics, the 3 kayas of buddhism, the death of celebrity culture, higher and lover gods, heresy, crazy wisdom, and Antagony—among other thing. Thomas Hamelryck is a scientist who uses AI to solve problems in bioinformatics and molecular biology. For philosophical and religious questions, he turns to the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead, the mimetic theory and Christian theology of Rene Girard, the Dionysian philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and the practices of Sutric and Tantric Buddhism.

Today we are living in a period of paradigm shift—one which may be as dramatic as the shift to the axial age according to John, or even as big as the leap from a single-celled organism to the homo sapien, according to Zak! A wide ranging discussion about how to reinventio (invent and discover) social justice and education and to rescue human interactions from social media pathologies. How to change out relationships from the transactional to the dialogic—how to reinventio education and justice for the life world and steal the culture from the bottom up.

A long awaited conversation between my favorite interlocutors, and two philosophical and visionary geniuses of our time—who, as I mention in the beginning—are opposite character types. Nevertheless, both men converge on certain views. Alexander is an aggressive provocateur with an amazing palate of ideas (the Camille Paglia of Sweden), and John is outrageously humble Canadian professor with an equally ambitious project. Alexander lays out his religious history of the silk route triad, talks about Zoroastrianism, Heraclates, and the monist world view. John speaks about the monism of Plotinus and defends neo-platonism. We speak about the meaning of pathos, mythos, and logos—and the pathic nature of art. And so much much more.

How did an obscure esoteric school begun by the French writer and sufi René Guénon and his fascist disciple Julius Evola at the beginning of the 20th begin to influence geopolitics, and especially the works of Steve Bannon, Alexander Dugin, and Olavo de Carvalho? We discuss this with Benjamin R Teitelbaum, author of a great new page turner called “War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers.” And we go into depth, especially about Steven Bannon and the alt right who Benjamin has interviewed a lot, and this complex figure especially with reference to his traditionalism, his fatalistic view of the Kali Yuga, and what the neo traditionalists are up to precisely.

Here we continue our conversation about ‘reinventio’—the latin word which means to both invent and discover. The main theme was reinventing beauty, but we spoke about soul, virtue, and faith. John also proposed reinventing argumentation, and came up with four propositions: Beauty is the sweet spot between suchness (intimacy) and moreness (transcendence) Beauty is the activity of philo-sophia Virtue is the beauty of wisdom Dialectic is the beautification of speech to conform to how we practice wisdom John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas.

Fabrice Midal is hugely popular in the Francophone world with a best selling book that has been translated as ‘The French Art of Not giving a fuck’—but relatively unknown elsewhere. He is also the author of about twenty other books, which include a biography of Chogyam Trungpa, and various books about philosophy, art, poetry, chivalry and meditation. He is also the founder of a unique school of meditation called ‘L’École occidentale de méditation’—which teaches not just traditional buddhist meditation and texts, but also has a strong emphasis on western philosophy, poetry, and the arts in general. I’ve known Fabrice for many years and he has taught me many things, and I have always wished that something like his school were available in other countries. L’École occidentale de méditation is a good example of what is called in German ‘bildung’ where philosophy and mediation are linked in creating movements that have the potential to change society as a whole. Some of my listeners in the contemporary bildung movement could learn a great deal from Fabrice’s efforts and genius in my opinion. In this wide ranging discussion we talked mostly about meditation and how meditation can be the ground for genuine renaissance in all areas of society, rather than merely a ‘technique’ for inner calm—which, in Fabrice’s view is a gross distortion of its origin, meaning and purpose.

This wide ranging conversation includes: insights on the meaning of the present Covid_19 crisis; a discussion of John and Christopher’s recent essay (Gnosis in the Second Person: Responding to the Meaning Crisis in the Socratic Quest of Authentic Dialogue.); a discussion on the meaning of socratic dialogue and ecstatic epiphanies - which we tried to exemplify in this conversation; and much more. John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas. What makes Vervaeke special in my opinion is the breadth of his work, but his courage descend the ivory tower and talk to people ‘on the street’—and to exemplify his ideas. His hero is Socrates, and he embodies the living dialogue and courage that Socrates represents.
