Podcasts about postmodernist

Endelig har vi møtt en postmodernist som ville ha en ryddig, ærlig og lang samtale med oss. Dette ble en utrolig lærerik og fascinerende samtale om frihet, sannhet, Jesus, Guds vesen, synd, rammer, evangeliet og mye mer.

Guru då - död idag? I vår serie om nittonhundratalets tänkare och deras eventuella betydelse idag har turen kommit till samhällsvetenskapernas största superstjärna: Michel Foucault. Hur ser arvet efter honom ut? Vi får två forskares syn på saken. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. FRÅN 2011-12-12"Guru då, död idag?" Michel Foucault är knappast död idag, eftersom han är världens mest citerade forskare inom samhällsvetenskaperna. Men hur ser arvet efter honom ut? Har han bidragit till att forskare i dag sätter citattecken runt ”verkligheten och hellre frågar sig hur missbrukare beskrivs av sociala myndigheter, än att forska kring hur det faktiskt är att vara missbrukare på riktigt?Eller är hans analys av makt och motstånd något absolut centralt för att vi ska förstå hur olika samhällen fungerar? Pernilla Ouis - doktor i humanekologi vid Malmö Högskola - ger sin bild av Foucault.Hennes kollega vid samma högskola, Ane Kirkegaard - doktor i freds- och utvecklingsforskning - har också tankar om hans betydelse.

“21. yüzyılın düşünce ve duygu biçimi, zeitgeist, “postmodernizm” ile ifade edilir. Akademik dünyanın başat felsefe olarak benimsediği postmodernizm, hakikat diye bir şeyin olmadığını, “hakikat” denilen şeyin beyaz Avrupalı erkeklerin yıllar yılı başarıyla dayattıkları “tasavvur”larından ibaret olduğunu iddia eder. Postmodernist anlayışa göre, bir vakıanın diğer bir vakıadan daha değerli olduğu söylemi, elitist/seçkinci bir söylemdir; zira tek bir hakikat yoktur ve münevverlerin/entelijensiyanın hakikatin peşinden koşuyor olmaları demode bir faaliyetten ibarettir… Bize gelince… Solunum yolları hastalıkları ile hava kirliliği arasında ilişki kuramayan yeni kentlilere benziyoruz. Hepimiz şikâyetçiyiz. Hepimiz çocuklarımızın geleceğini kurtarmak telâşındayız. Ancak meğerki atmosfere çökmüş asılı kalan zehirli pusun mahiyetini doğru teşhis edelim, meselelerimizi çözümleyemeyecek, ülkemiz düşünce dünyasını teslim almış gibi duran ölü toprağını üzerimizden atamayacağız…” Alev Alatlı hocam hayatta olsaydı bu seçim sonuçlarına yorumunun, yukarıda alıntıladığım, Türkiye eğitimini analiz ettiği ve bir ekip ile birlikte yazdığı, bana da sende dursun diye gönderdiği “Eğitim Raporu”nun girişindeki bu paragraflara yakın olacağına eminim. Şimdi soğukkanlı bir şekilde ve ciddiyetle “ –mış” gibi yapmadan analizler yapmak zorundayız. Elbette şahsi pek çok gözlem ve yorumum var. Ders çıkarılması gereken çok şey var. 22 yıldır Türkiye'yi yöneten bir parti olarak bu ders ve ödevleri çok hızla anlayıp gereğini yapacağımıza eminim. Bu seçimin siyasi sonuçları olacak. Bu siyasi sonuçlara hazırlıklı olmak ve önceden yapageldiğimiz şeyleri yaparak değil, tam tersi ezber bozarak bu sürecin daha kolay yönetileceği inancındayım. Ki iktidar olduğu ilk günden bu yana ezber bozmak konusunda çok mahir bir parti olduğumuzun altını çizeyim. Yeter ki kalenin içten fethedilmesine fırsat vermeyelim.

Stephen Hicks is a Canadian-American philosopher, and the author of numerous books, including Understanding Postmodernism, and Nietzsche & the Nazis. As Professor Hicks is a critic of postmodernism, I decided to ask him about Nietzsche's connection to postmodern thought. Is Nietzsche a postmodernist, and to what extent did he influence them? How do we explain the moral differences between Nietzsche and the postmodernists? We also discussed some topics related to objectivism and Ayn Rand. How does Nietzsche's epistemology and ethics differ from that of Ayn Rand? Professor Hicks articulates the case for the foundationalist view, and we finished the conversation by discussing the state of the academy as he sees it, and the future of philosophy.

This week on Remainders we watch the 1996 biopic Basquiat, a glimpse into the short life of postmodernist and art-world icon Jean-Michel Basquiat. Directed by Julian Schnabel and starring a young Jeffrey Wright, Basquiat follows his rise to fame in 1980s New York City and the hotbed of creativity crossing paths with Andy Warhol and others. Containing one of the most notable and talented casts of any film from the decade, Basquiat is a portrait of an artist made from an artist – an ode to the act of creativity itself.Other topics include the Academy Awards, Godzilla winning its first Oscar, Oppenheimer, Ennio Morricone at the Music Box, social media and art, and what makes a good biopic.Songs of the WeekRaining In My Heart by Buddy Holly & the CricketsSeries of Dreams by Bob DylanRemainders Podcast Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Postmodernist Cuisine – Chris Young

 Well, if you ever got tired of listening to me, talk. Today's the day when you just get to hear from my buddy, Chris Young, because I wound him up and clicked go, and he just talks, and it's great. He has so much, interesting experience and amazing insights. So Chris Young, if you don't know, I met him back when we started the Intellectual Ventures Lab, because he was the guy that Nathan Myhrvold hired to start the cooking projects. We built an experimental kitchen there. Chris ran the project called Modernist Cuisine. Which ended up publishing a 2,400 page cookbook on the science of cooking. That won every award in the world. It's literally a monument to modernist cooking. And these are new techniques for chefs and we talk about that a bunch today. Before that Chris had created the experimental lab at the Fat Duck and that's Heston Blumenthal's restaurant outside of London. Usually considered, if not the best restaurant on Earth, a contender. Since publishing Modernist Cuisine, Chris started a company called ChefSteps to popularize sous vide, which is the most successful of the techniques so far invented by modernists. You have to learn to sous vide. It's super easy. You can make everything you do come out perfectly. After selling that company to Breville, Chris started a new company called Combustion and Combustion is really cool startup. There's lots of lessons in here for entrepreneurs and folks who are making products. Chris is an amazing entrepreneur, very dedicated, really good at figuring out how to make everything work. Combustion is a difficult company to do because it's hardware and software; and it's in the kitchen; and it is hundreds of degrees, Fahrenheit. So it was just a lot to deal with. It's great to learn these lessons and they're shipping now and very successful with it. And then Chris has a YouTube channel called Chris Young Cooks, where he's doing some of the cool stuff that we used to do on Modernist Cuisine. Cool photography, but doing it for video and sharing some of the insights that they have about cooking. So anyway, You're going to have a blast listening to Chris. Important Links Intellectual Ventures Lab Modernist Cuisine The Fat Duck Combustion Chris Young Cooks About Chris Young Chris Young is a chef-scientist known for applying science and technology to create culinary experiences that earlier generations would never have imagined. Before becoming a chef, Young completed degrees in mathematics and biochemistry at the University of Washington. Unfulfilled with a life in the hard sciences, Young left his doctoral work behind for a job as a chef at one of Seattle's top-rated restaurants, Mistral. Young's expertise wasn't long secluded to the American Northwest. From 2003 to 2007, Young worked with the world-famous chef Heston Blumenthal to oversee development of some of his most innovative dishes. In 2004, Young opened The Fat Duck Experimental Kitchen, leading a team of more than six full-time chefs and coordinating the work of several consulting scientists. Beyond developing new dishes for The Fat Duck's menu, Young was responsible for recipe development for the critically acclaimed first and second seasons of BBC's “In Search of Perfection: With Heston Blumenthal.” In 2007, Young was asked by the renowned technologist, inventor, and accomplished cook Nathan Myhrvold to return to Seattle to work at Intellectual Ventures. Alongside Myrhvold, Young helped research, experiment, and eventually coauthor the eagerly anticipated, industry game-changing Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking. In 2012, along with Modernist Cuisine colleagues Chef Grant Lee Crilly and photographer Ryan Matthew Smith, Young co-launched an online-based culinary school ChefSteps, using an underground space beneath Seattle's Pike Place Market. Their mission: teaching people how to utilize modern techniques in their cooking. He is the founder and owner at Combustion Inc., a company that builds nice things that make cooking more enjoyable. Like a thermometer that's wireless, oven-safe, and uses machine learning to do what no other thermometer can: predict your food's cooking and resting times with uncanny accuracy.

This week Jordan B Peterson sends us to the Taco Gulag as we check out his new song and music video, "The Postmodernist Drinking Song," a bewildering cacophony of circus music with screeds against postmodernist philosophers, alcohol, feminists, and communist fast food restaurants Also: Elon Musk releases his new AI for blue check subscribers (at twice the price), and boy does this thing have a twisted sense of humor. Finally: Alex chat is put to a screeching halt as a Patron cancels their membership over Alex's UPS work stories. We go through the excoriating feedback and debate whether to share 2 new stories that could make Alex seem too tough and cool.

Six years ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jordan Peterson. This was when he'd just entered the public sphere with a video criticizing political correctness. Now, at the time the interview didn't get much traction as it was before I had “Crossroads” and before Mr. Peterson became as well known as he is now. But those ideas that we discussed—the underlying problems of postmodernism, how it relates to the communist agenda, the destruction of higher education, and the subversion of the values of the West—have only become more relevant now as society becomes more divided. So I've decided to re-release the interview, I hope you all enjoy! ⭕️

God is dead - Nietzsche's most notorious line and also one of his most commonly misunderstood. The Nietzsche God is dead statement is a New Atheist sentiment but the warning of a Postmodernist. It is commonly mistaken for a modernist sentiment proclaiming the death of Christianity's God. But that is not what Nietzsche intended. It was not a declaration of atheism; atheism was already a trivial point of view (if still controversial) by the end of the 19th century. Nietzsche was not echoing a common sentiment but pushing beyond to its unseen implications. Nietzsche was pioneering the postmodern perspective. This is obvious from the aphorism it occurs in. In The Gay Science Nietzsche tells the parable of the madman who declares the death of God. The madman's audience are not religious believers or members of the Church as one would expect from a declaration of God's death. The audience was a crowd of jeering non-believers. This points to the real intention of Nietzsche's statement. In this episode we are going to explore the meaning of this statement in light of this insight and see what exactly Nietzsche meant by his provocative statement that God is dead and we have killed him. _________________ ⭐ Support the channel (thank you!) ▶ Patreon: https://patreon.com/thelivingphilosophy ▶ Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thelivingphilosophy________________

Generations of American students have had their spirits broken, their sensibilities corrupted, and their intellects blighted in the indoctrination centers that pass for most K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. The harm that they do to innocent young people echoes through the rest of the lives of the survivors. Our wider society beyond schools is being poisoned by the carriers of this madness, their graduates. Unless we stop these practices, which we certainly can, we will face our own Red Guards, our own bloody Cultural Revolution, our own ideological genocide.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Idaho Speaks is a listener supported production.  Please visit idahospeaks.com/support to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

Today, I sit down with Esther Krakue, a Ghanaian-born writer and broadcaster based in the UK, to discuss the cultural ills she sees gripping the developed Western world, from postmodernist ideology to bureaucratic COVID dogma and the breakdown of the family.“We have a crisis of the soul and of identity … Many Western countries don't know what they are, what they stand for. They can't even answer basic questions about what it means to be a man or woman or an upstanding citizen anymore. And so we're just teetering along and just kind of rolling down the hill of ultimate destruction,” Krakue says.Follow American Thought Leaders on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/AmThoughtLeaderTruth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@AmThoughtLeaderGettr: https://gettr.com/user/amthoughtleaderFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanThoughtLeadersGab: https://gab.com/AmThoughtLeaderTelegram: https://t.me/AmThoughtLeader

Chicago is a famed architecture town, but the road has not always been smooth. Hear from the editor and author, respectively, of two recently released guides – Laurie Petersen for the AIA Guide to Chicago and Vladimir Belogolovskyfor the DOM Architectural Guide Chicago, discourse on Postmodernist icons like the Thompson (future Google?) Center and Harold Washington Library, and muse on what came next, where we are now, and why Chicago is still important to architecture everywhere.

In this episode Chris finally takes on the 300 pound gorilla in the Philosophical room--Postmodernism. Will it be an epic showdown? Will the forces of good defeat the Postmodernist boogieman? Or will our hero be persuaded to the dark side? Chris vs. Foucault...round one...fight. Enjoy :)

Stemming from God's character—perfect love permeated with pure holiness—Christians celebrate justice. Pertinent for today, we have to ask how that compares with a Postmodern sense of justice. So for example, if society is undergoing a "new rising consciousness" how should Christians process justice? I also reflect on Joe Biden's recent vaccine mandate speech and strategize about how to dialogue with a Postmodernist.

'It's only a dream!' A Nightmare on Elm Street, and its iconic villain Freddy Kruger, has been a cultural staple since Wes Craven's original film in 1984. Since then, there have been six more films in the decade-long series, all the way up to the postmodern malaise of 1994. From the Freudian modernism of the 80s films, through the carbon-copy unoriginality in the middle of the series, up to the postmodern reflexivity of the last two films, the films trace a familiar pattern, and one which charts wider cultural shifts around this time. We ask how the first two films defy gender expectations and subvert already familiar slasher tropes. We delve into how these films represent dreams, and how far they can be understood as relating to Freud's Interpretation of Dreams. Is Freddy a phantom of the death drive, or a paradoxical creature of wish fulfilment? Finally, we analyse the nineties films' self-awareness, and what this means for our own dreams, desires and, indeed, nightmares.

Jednym z najgłośniej wybrzmiewających pytań w kontekście typografii jest to odnoszące się do prawidłowej nomenklatury – font czy czcionka? Powstaje jednak wątpliwość, czy właśnie ten problem powinien koncentrować wokół siebie projektantów. Przyjmując perspektywę, że projektowanie jest drogą do rozwiązywania problemów, możemy sobie zadać istotniejsze pytanie – jakie problemy rozwiązuje typografia i za pomocą jakiś środków. O dobrym designie mówi się jako o czymś niewidocznym. Czy to, że nie zwracamy uwagi na liternictwo podczas czytania książki, świadczy o jego adekwatności? Czy taką typografię możemy uznać za „dobrą”? Dlaczego uważa się, że projektowanie krojów pism jest jednym z trudniejszych obszarów projektowania graficznego? Jakie kryteria należy przyjąć podczas oceny liternictwa? Jak wygląda proces projektowania krojów pism? W jakim kierunku rozwija się typografia? Podczas spotkania z serii Dobry Design Działa Katarzyna Sowa i Mateusz Antczak, projektanci z Katedry Grafiki Uniwersytetu SWPS, porozmawiają na temat projektowania krojów pism oraz ich użycia w projektach graficznych. Katarzyna Sowa grafik, aktywna zawodowo projektantka kreatywna. Magister historii sztuki Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego. Prowadzi warsztaty dla studentów Grafiki Uniwersytetu SWPS i studentów Instytutu Dziennikarstwa i Komunikacji Społecznej Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego z zakresu historii typografii, reguł składu tekstu, projektowania wielostronicowych publikacji, projektowania książki i krojów pism. Interesuje się typografią i jej korelacją z przekazem wizualnym i jego odbiorem. Fascynują ją dokonania Polskiej Awangardy, Modernizmu Międzywojennego, Szwajcarskiej Szkoły Projektowania i eksperymenty Postmodernistów. Mateusz Antczak projektant działający na pograniczu teorii i praktyki designu. Zawodowo zajmuje się m.in. badaniem, projektowaniem oraz wdrażaniem programów Corporate Identity. W swojej pracy koncentruje się na projektowaniu grafiki użytkowej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem znaku marki oraz identyfikacji wizualnych. Definiuje rolę projektanta nie jako jedynie dostawcy gotowych rozwiązań, ale przede wszystkim konsultanta, doradcy, moderatora oraz mentora. Swoją działalność dydaktyczną realizuje przy okazji warsztatów projektowych oraz współpracując z Katedrą Grafiki Uniwersytetu SWPS we Wrocławiu. Badawczo zajmuje się wpływem szeroko pojętego designu na projektowanie i modelowanie komunikacji, w szczególności w obszarach Corporate Identity oraz brandingu. Interesujesz się designem?

Charlie is joined by Douglas Murray, author of 'The Madness of Crowds,' for a comprehensive overview of the left's ongoing assault on western civilization, society, and any semblance of a cohesive and unified future. He offers his perspective on the culture war being waged by the postmodernist left, how their ideology & actions are on track to destroy America, and what we can do to stop them.

Rob Tracinski talks with Helen Pluckrose, editor of Areo magazine and co-author of Cynical Theories, about the roots of today's "woke" culture war in the philosophical school of Postmodernism. The conversation includes: how a philosophy of radical skepticism became dogmatic and authoritarian, how we lost both individualism and universalism, how coronavirus made our ideological bubbles more impenetrable, was Immanuel Kant the first Postmodernist, have we reached peak wokeness, and liberalism as an intellectual system.

Have you ever wondered what Postmodernism is? A hugely influential movement during the second half of the 20th C, it has gone on to influence contemporary philosophy in countless ways. Today, David Baker, Professor of Comparative Literature at UNC, talks us through what Postmodernist philosophy looked like, and the difficulties inherent in defining anything Postmodern. Hamish Stewart and Max Forster join David in discussion.

Jerm — Woke culture is a consequence of postmodernism, and should be rejected by any rational person. Urban Dictionary's defintion of woke is: "The act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue" Postmodernist thought is relatively new and destructive, in that it relies on questioning absolutely everything to the point of nothingness. It attempts to break apart tradition, facts, science, and the fabric of society. SUPPORT JERM

In this episode we deal with the postmodern worldview, specifically the,  "theoretical questions about textual authority." Postmodernist make a few arguments predicated on: Claims that words have no meaning. Claims that there is no objective truth. Although the postmodern worldview is hard to articulate, I deal with this worldview in this podcast to the best of ability.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/anthonyboyd/message

Reason Magazine editor-at-large, Nick Gillespie is back with us this week. This week we dive into postmodern libertarianism and how Dr. Gillespie came to be one. Join us for a half hour look into this facet of liberalism.

P&C drink and review Haze for Days Pale Ale from Crooked Crab Brewery, then discuss post-modernism. What is modernism? And why do some people want to get past it? The boys discuss. Postmodernist thinking is characterized by skepticism and the rejection of grand narratives. It questions the idea of objective reality, morality, truth, human nature, reason, science, or social progress. They call particular attention to the contingent or socially-conditioned nature of knowledge, and say that our knowledge claims and value systems are a product of historical or cultural discourse, or societal hierarchies. The individual isn't free, but enslaved to an oppressive system that defines his language, his morals and his truth.

Modernity elevated pure, abstract reasoning as the only way to know about reality. Reason having disenchanted everything else, modernity then became disenchanted with reason. The ascendancy of reason over superstitious myths was viewed by the postmodernists as just another myth to be exposed. The postmodernists were right to see that the dictates of reason were not wholly separate from our lives, self-images and desires, but were colored by the stories we tell about ourselves. But they were wrong to conclude that reason is therefore inherently suspect. That's because human life really is imbued with an intelligible, narrative form, and we are capable of telling true stories about ourselves that reflect the actual story-form of our lives and history as a whole. Reason can function as a gloss on the story of creation. The mistake was thinking that it could ever be sealed off in a laboratory to begin with. It's time to go back to seeing our lives and history itself as the intelligible stories they really are: to set mythos alongside logos as an essential way of apprehending truth—and then to go beyond both as words dissolve in silent contemplation of the One who told the story before it began. This is the conclusion of a three-part interview with poet-philosopher James Matthew Wilson about his book The Vision of the Soul: Truth, Goodness and Beauty in the Western Tradition.

With its massive Portlandia statue and wild Postmodernist architectural style — resembling a wrapped birthday present or a Rubik's Cube — the Portland Building is our most famous building as well as our most infamous. Architect Carla Weinheimer discusses her firm's transformative yet controversial renovation of this 1980s landmark. And author Bob Dietche tells us about the jazz club that once existed on this site, featuring legends like Duke Ellington and John Coltrane.

This episode's artecdote clarifies the historical terminology for the dominant Postmodernist art movement since circa 1985: 'Neo-Conceptualism.' Neo-Conceptualists themselves generally try to refer to themselves with the earlier term as 'Conceptualists,' but this is a political ploy, an ahistorical part of a powerplay, pretending that they are a part of the movement form which they derive.

"Not long ago kids would argue over which console was better now teenagers whisper cuckold and Nazi like it's considered good manners. We are in the midst of a profound rearrangement of what traits are to be incentivized and rewarded, driven by some 7 billion people each acting with what they believe to be the best of intentions, but who can foresee with what success and with what result." In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and Nat discuss The Tower. In this article we learn about ideas as memes that spread virally and art as a means of being understood. "The Judeo-Christian capital G—o—d, robed, bearded, opinionated, deadlifts, thematically male, is the avatar of civilization, just check the year. Even so, His omnipotence is not uncontested. He knows this. You should see what He did to the guys with the golden calf. God said, “Let there will be light,” and there was light. But just as Nyx preceded Zeus, that means the darkness was already there. And the house always wins at the second law of thermodynamics." We cover a wide range of topics, including: Diversity, privilege, racism & cultural stereotypes The importance belonging and the power of action Memes, memories, outrage and descent into chaos Art, Happiness and Tangents on Tacos & Texas And much more.

This article is bordering on us on a short book. Very fun to read. The article is The Tower from a blog called Hotel Concierge. We don't know who this writer is but he/she/they are amazing. 03:59 – The Tower is based on the Tower of Babel which is built to be closer to God and to unite humanity in one place, under one language. This is destroyed by God and humanity is spread across the world. The analogy is that that with modern communication, being able to talk instantly with everyone it is creating this Tower of Babel like effect, leading to outrage culture. 05:48 – Our need to be understood and to feel in control is fuelling that outrage and rebellion. Previously unprivileged groups are now succeeding in the dominance hierarchy. We all need a set of beliefs and having any beliefs are better than none. If you have no beliefs, then you just sort of become a vessel for other people’s ideas. 07:44 – There is always a tendency towards more chaos. Art in all forms is an attempt to be understood. Privilege as how easily your art and memes can be understood. Multiculturalism and diversity go counter towards the goal of assimilation. A lot of white liberals who were fighting for diversity don't actually want diversity. They don't want different cultures. They want the same culture in different colors. 10:21 – This is a well-written persuasive article. “The Judeo-Christian capital G—o—d, robed, bearded, opinionated, deadlifts, thematically male, is the avatar of civilization, just check the year. Even so, His omnipotence is not uncontested. He knows this. You should see what He did to the guys with the golden calf. God said, “Let there will be light,” and there was light. But just as Nyx preceded Zeus, that means the darkness was already there. And the house always wins at the second law of thermodynamics.” The writing style comes off as masculine. Even before God created light, there was still was darkness. Tendency back to the chaos of darkness. You have to deliberately fight against chaos. Human desires for acceptance and control. 14:40 – Acceptance and Control. “Only when we see ourselves reflected by the universe can we believe that it is part of us.” Our tendency towards chaos causes us to feel unhappy and unfulfilled “Ananke hates nothing but entropy. Ananke rewards us for turning atoms into tools and tools into appendages, so much the better if those atoms comprise other humans, viz. the high of domination” “Ananke compels us to learn, to make the universe predictable, to gain control over time, what next happens, and space, what happens next.” 16:23 – A feeling of control is important for us to be able to have any life satisfaction. “Minimum wage jobs are worse because of their pointlessness more than because of their indignity, work harder/better/faster/stronger and no one cares, screw up and you’re replaced without a missed beat.” No control over work and no sense of belonging. Working just like a cog in a machine. 17:35 – “No direction, no story; the days blur together until arthritis leaves you crippled. Stoned summers don’t get you off the hook, duration neglect compresses both good and bad sensations. No matter how pleasant, when nothing is happening, the superego starves. There’s a reason couples fight on vacation.” Not only do we need control and reflection but we need a narrative that has a story to it. Happiness comes from working towards a goal. 18:13 – “Being a dilettante is too easy, flatlines don't form memories.” You need an arc to your story a narrative. “Reinventing yourself between brunches feels good.” 18:52 – It does seem possible to achieve multiple things in your life with focus which is different to bouncing around to new ideas “the illusion of control—until you’ve dreamt the same dreams too many times and they no longer get you high.” Getting excited over a vision is not making progress. If you don’t pick something you will be running around aimlessly. 21:25 – The reason God destroyed the Tower of Babel was he wanted to punish this consolidation under one belief system, one language. Ideas as memes.  If something isn't carefully designed then it can spread fairly naturally. Ideas are going to naturally evolve and spread and so religions get weaker over time. It is easier to wholly conform to a religion than to partially conform and have to make those decisions. Kosher vs non-Kosher. By keeping these very strict rules it made these religious concepts spread virally. Criticism to Humanism because it doesn't really give any prescriptions. Ideas need to take a concrete stand otherwise they are a weak belief system. Your religion becomes a decision making framework but if you are just open to everything then you have no answers. 26:40 – Reasoning through everything is exhausting. Trying to place blame on bad actions on someone's upbringing or genetics means nothing is every anyone’s fault and no-one can be held accountable. “When someone slaps your hypothetical girlfriend's ass in the proverbial club, what does humanism say you should do? At least toxic masculinity has an answer.” 27:45 – If you don't have a code of conduct one will be provided for you. We have a suppressed memetic immune system. It’s statistically inevitable that every meme will attain its most infectious form. A meme is a term introduced by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene to reference an idea that spreads through a culture, like a gene spreads through the animal world. Political correctness is a meme and democracy is meme. 29:42 – Just like evolution happens faster in animals that breed more often, the more iterations memes go through the more viral they become. We are now in an era where free flow of information is causing us to consume all of these viral memes. Do the ideas control you or do you control the ideas? One can actually control their sources of inputs. Then one becomes a vessel for the ideas that take control of her. 31:54 – “A pathogen that is too restrained will lose out in competition to a more aggressive strain that diverts more host resources to its own reproduction.” Replication is the key to success. High switching cost, once one have publicly committed to these ideas. It’s difficult to move out of a religion due to surroundings and strong deterrents. Parents pass their religion on to their children and with few leaving a religion this just creates more people passing on these beliefs. “But as long as transmission continues despite the virulence, virulent pathogens will have the advantage.” 35:31 – Some religions have weakened over time, you can say you're Christian and you don't actually have to do anything. Alcohol consumption in UAE. Compliance due to deterrents. Trying too hard to not have any memes means you become susceptible to becoming a vessel and getting sucked into the ideas that are around you. All art is memes and all memes want to do is spread. Human desire to share information. 38:51 – “Art is compressed communication. The better the compression, with regards to both perceived fidelity and amount of information contained, the more artful the art”. Both writing and art are ways to purify your mind from chaos. Any form of media is art, this podcast is too. 39:15 – “I think “ease of having one’s art understood” is a defensible conception of “privilege”. Being understood is a huge part of life satisfaction. Diversity in Hollywood, it makes sense that it doesn’t get any more diverse as they are making films for their target culture. “Gwern seems to think that if we banned Guardians of the Galaxy the relevant audience would switch to Douglas Hofstadter. The assumption here is that nonfiction exists, distinct from and more truthful than fiction. I don’t buy it.” 44:15 – Pre-Renaissance – The popular memes of the time of religion was the art and message that lasted. Your religion is another form of privilege. “So who has more privilege, a cis-white-hetero billionaire with full-checklist depression or an unemployed transgender black woman who, despite this, is basically content? Either the billionaire has less privilege, in which case “privilege” is a Harrison Bergeron happiness tax, or the suicidal person has more privilege, in which case, how much does “privilege” matter, really.” “I’ve met Upper East Side kids less fulfilled by their iPads than Sub-Saharan kids without running water were with “catch the rock.” Happiness and privilege are not the same. You can be happy without privilege and depressed with wealth. Statistics on suicide being mostly wealthy younger people or those at the end of their life. Suicide and depression rates go down during war time. Being well off is not the solution for happiness, doesn't automatically make you happy. “Saved wealth buffers against tragedy but suffering finds a way.” 47:36 – “Like a forgotten drive to work, we are amnestic to routine, and memories of “eat, menial labor, sleep” blur together in the rearview mirror. The important-yet-oft-forgotten obverse is that, independent of happiness, wealth buys freedom from routine.” “A night at the opera is no more fun than pizza and brewskis, but the former is novel, for a time, and the latter soon fades from memory.” The importance of memory on happiness. Novelty of an experience puts a little placeholder in our memory, a hedonistic measurement. Most of traveling isn’t actually that fun but there are moments that do stick with you. Enjoyment tracking of extreme sports vs video games. We remember the peaks more than the consistent or length of enjoyment. You don’t remember the world like a spreadsheet. Entrepreneurial businesses vs standard job. Earnings might be the same but there are more more memories and signposts throughout the entrepreneurial journey that make it worth it . You only get the peaks from climbing your own mountain. 52:27 – Experiencing self vs Remembering self. You need those indicators in your memories for happiness, to reflect back to you who you are. Ed Cook plans parties with several different thematic parts so that it feels like a multitude of new experiences and memories all within one three hour party. Mark Manson recommends going to multiple bars on dates so it feels like you have a lot to remember and look back on. Same how large or distinct life experiences feel lengthy even if they were just for one day. 57:10 – “Contrary to the pop-ethical consensus, discrimination is not caused by having too many stereotypes but too few. If you wake to find a lithe man dressed in all black standing over your bed and holding a katana, it may be quite reasonable to infer that he is a hired ninja and that you are in grave danger. If, however, you assume this about every East Asian man that you encounter, you lack nuance of stereotypes.” Nuances of stereotypes within race, religion and politics. “Race and gender are social constructs, but the cultural norms that correlate with race and gender—and goth, prep, jock, etc—are real.” Where there are these intergroup conflicts over trivial differences. To counteract a stereotype you need an alternative worldview that narrows down that stereotype into a more nuanced view. Framing an argument against stereotypes as don't be racist join or die, fails and it's infuriatingly counterproductive because it doesn't create a new stereotype to work with. Stereotypes portfolio. 01:06:00 – “The racist stay racist and now feel that society is out to get them. hashtag MAGA.” Being told you are racist is really counterproductive. The opposite of feeling you belong. This causes people to accept the label and not change their world view. 01:07:54 – “Once acceptance becomes orthodoxy even private dissent becomes grounds for ostracization. No matter your other convictions you become a stereotype that society will single-issue-vote off the island, just ask Brendan Eich. Of course I support gay marriage; my point is that if one’s views before were “well, it is kind of weird,” then being told “soon there will be enough of us that we won’t have to deal with people like you at all”—that makes homophobia logical. And at least you can change your opinion of gay marriage. It’s much harder to change being white and low-class.” You can’t talk about the middle ground. It is the two extremes that are virulent. The opinions seem to be all or nothing. False correlation between number of words written about something leading people to think that thing is more prevalent in society, like words in an article relate to more crime. Intermittent fasting and the bubble of understanding within social groups. When we meet someone outside of our own knowledge we realize the bubble that we are in. “No one is born hateful, stranger anxiety doesn’t even start til six months. But culture war is history being written by the winners, first draft. Conservatives are offered the choice of fighting the ever-changing tides of social values or toiling away in obscurity while journalists pretend to like soccer. People want to be understood. And they will rage all sorts of ways against the dying of the light.” 01:14:38 – “The upper-middle class—mostly urban, mostly blue—claims by far the largest share of America’s income, more than the middle class and far more than the 1%. This, despite their protests to the contrary, gives them disproportionate control over the news and entertainment industry, which in cyberpunk America is tantamount to controlling the culture.” Urban culture controls the media so you’ve got the rural conservative that feels constantly misunderstood that leads to Trump. Global need to be understood, “I’m saying that the specific way the media talks about race and culture, creating an incoherent set of rules regarding “appropriation” and etiquette, proudly crying out that this is the end of those boring, selfish white people, has made the situation much, much worse. If the left wanted to prevent assimilation, there would be no more effective way.” When there are all these rules, where everything is cultural appropriation then it makes it easier for people to throw their hands up and admit defeat and continue with their world view as they cannot correct it. 01:21:05 – Every culture has a past. Judge people on how they are today. Stop punishing people pay for what their ancestors did. Forced assimilation doesn’t go well – like asking people to have X percent of your meals as Mexican food vs allowing people to naturally adopt a culture and its food – like tacos in Texas. 01:22:48 – Asians in America are succeeding at everything faster that most other groups ever have. These are positive changes to the power structure. Make what you want to see. Jackie Robinson as the first Black baseball player. His coach knew as the first black player he would receive aggression and wanted to make sure that his reaction to this would offer an alternative stereotype than the expected violence. This would pave the way for others after him. “Ergo, you decide to hire some minority writers to write your minority characters. Applications rush in. How are you going to decide who makes the cut? “You know, the usual. Interview. Letters of recommendation. College transcript—” This is how the system protects itself against change. At every step of the social hierarchy, what is required for a person of color or a woman to succeed is determined by the values of the ruling class. I think that’s “white patriarchal supremacy,” but don’t quote me. Of course, the same principle applies to e.g. homosexuals and Jews; thankfully those traits are easier to hide.” 01:29:41 – Extracurricular activities weed out poor people as they are exclusive to those with disposable income. Is it true diversity if just the rich kids from Buenos Aires or Mexico City get into a school but poorer Latino kids in the US don’t stand a chance. Tom Robbins spent 8 years while trying to get his big break in writing. That takes privilege to have that time to create art and not to have student debt. “These “gifted” but “troubled” people will bumble through their whole lives, getting second through tenth chances, mysteriously finding that anything involving an authority figure goes their way, as they ruthlessly condemn capitalist injustice, never realizing that criticizing privilege is…the language of privilege.” 1:37:30 – When you think of how many do not have privilege and are not understood and cannot express themselves. It's easy to imagine all of the outcasts conspiring to destroy that Tower. Nobody wants to feel like their beliefs are not allowed. 01:41:42 – The Prescription. “What’s the solution? There’s only one and it is so radical that I hesitate to even suggest it: stop being a pleb. You. Stop treating words as a substitute for action. Stop paying time and money into institutions that loan a symbol of mastery in lieu of actual depth. Stop looking for such symbols in others. Stop judging policies by the veneer of good intention rather than the details of consequence. Stop looking past people, because this is all the same, isn’t it? Working from a map, a stereotype, a symbol, instead fighting for the complex truth? None of this horror requires malice or even stupidity. All it requires is taking the easy way out.” 01:42:05 – Such great writing, narrative style is just so fun. Ton of bonus material for this one.

This episode came to fruition because of a Facebook conversation about Dr. Jordan Peterson. Omid Pakbin later suggested a podcast with Alexander Boldizar to give a well put together critique of some of Jordan’s main arguments. Particularly why Dr. Peterson is incorrect in labeling people on the far left of the political spectrum Postmodern Neo Marxists.

Does originality in art even exist? A Matt Ballou listener request. "Make it new!" has certainly become old. Yet, the Postmodernist demand that a lack of originality be heralded as something new is duplicitous. A discussion of originality in art.

Postmodernist philosophy is famous for being paradoxical. Claims like "the truth is that there is no truth" or "everything is relative" are popular - especially among academics. Many proponents are even OK with explicit contradictions in their worldview. To me, a contradiction is a demonstration of error, and not caring about intellectual consistency is a sign of dogmatism and irrationalism. But according to Dr. Stephen Hicks, that's because I have a certain psychological response to contradictions. Postmodernists have a different psychological response, and so they aren't as bothered by inconsistency. Dr. Hicks thinks it's possible to be intellectually respectable while defending internally-inconsistent views. I don't think it's possible. What do you think?

In this episode we have art theorist and curator Mark Cameron Boyd. By opening Pandora’s Box we contemplate upon thinkers like Clement Greenberg, Michael Fried, László Moholy-Nagy, Rosalind Krauss, et cetera, et cetera. Whether an artist has the intention to do so or not he is surfing the wave of art theoretical thinking, we recognize the functional benefits of exploring the field outside the insulated circle amongst other creatives and discuss where this generation of artist's stand on the grand scheme. www.MarkCameronBoyd.com www.instagram.com/mcameronboyd
