Mattin and Miguel Prado sit down with friend of the pod and fellow NRU member Inigo Wilkins to dive into Shitshow Theory — a work-in-progress text by Mattin and Inigo — and Miguel's own take on what he calls Entropic Modernity. Together we try to make sense of the neo-reactionary turn, Trump-era chaos, and the cultural meltdown we're all living through. Theorising the shitshow, one glitch at a time.

Dr Mark Lacy, a senior lecturer at Lancaster University, joins me to discuss his book "Theorizing Future Conflict: War Out to 2049." We explore the evolving nature of warfare, focusing on the impact of new technologies like AI, drones, and cyber warfare. Mark highlights the challenges of predicting future conflicts, citing the ongoing war in Ukraine as a case study. He contrasts the liberal and authoritarian ways of war, emphasizing the potential for AI to make warfare more humane and pose significant risks. Mark also discusses the concept of "protopia" and "necropolitics," and the unpredictable nature of technological advancements in warfare. Questions: 1. Upon the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2049, what lessons will the PLA have learnt about warfare from today's conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East? 2. Is Bakhmut the 21st Centuries Guernica, with drones representing a revolution in military in military affairs without which a combatant has no hope of winning? 3. In what way do drones manifest the protopian and necropolitical aspects of the liberal way of war? 4. I was struck by your thought experiment Drones Over Aleppo 2042: Terrorism in an Age of AI, with its depictions of granular drones delivering humanitarian aid amidst the lawless liminal space of a sprawling refugee camp while searching for a terrorist leader who taunts the West with atrocity deepfakes and who may in fact be an AI. Drawing on Virilio, is it inevitable that the invention of AI entails the AI incident, where AI escapes our control and turns on us, leading to bitskrieg and cybotage?

How are feminists and feminist movements "framing" their activism? How is globalization and capitalism directly or indirectly affecting the way some ideas, projects and foreign policy models are being legitimized and promoted while others aren't? What role does the flow of theories, laws and strategies from local/international, North/South, Western/Non-Western play in addressing, increasing or maintaining social, racial and economic inequalities? A first look into Transnational Feminism.

In this video essay, we analyse Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris (2011) starring Owen Wilson as the protagonist who is a passionate admirer of the city of Paris. Through his eyes, we see a city that holds the glories of the past where prominent artists of all time such as Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dali and many other lived, worked, and partied. This video essay tries to understand how Paris work as a character rather than an exotic locational trope as seen in typical Hollywood rom-com.

IIPPE Financialisation Discussion Series Jennifer Churchill (Kingston University London) “I will be raising some questions regarding the success so far of empirical literature that has sought to locate processes of financialisation, and talking about some of the methods I have begun to steal from other social sciences to embolden my Institutionalist Post Keynesian approach.” Event Date: 3 May 2019 Released by: IIPPE Podcasts

In this episode, Nick talks you through several practical techniques that will allow you to invest more time in yourself and explains why self-improvement and investment, is by far the best investment you can make.  By adding to our intelligence, value and skill-set, we can positively impact others and our own world.      KEY TAKEAWAYS By investing heavily in ourselves, whether intellectually, or in terms of skills or value, then you can easily add more value back to other people. You are your greatest asset, and any value you add to that will only impact others positively.   Investing in yourself is different from the pathway of formal education. As Nick points out, his schooling began as a child, but his education began in his thirties. It is only when we begin to apply the lessons learned through life experience, that we can start to utilise our entire value.    Formal education can be useful in teaching us discipline, focus, a regimented work ethic, and the ability to learn how to study, but the practical experience comes later once our personalities become defined, and when we begin to focus upon the life we want and the goals we are setting for ourselves.   Personal development is about the skills, the beliefs and mindset that you need. Professional development is the acquisition of broader attributes and skills. Personal is based around your attitude and outlook. Professional is based around the specific skill set that will allow you to master your chosen vocation. Both are equally important.   You have to take action wherever possible., Theorising and studying about self-improvement are all very well, but progression can never be made until we take that first step In practical terms.   Entrepreneurs are not just born - they construct themselves through defining their life’s purpose. Everyone has the capability to be the best version of themselves possible - to seek success and make the most of it. It just takes belief and the will to act.   Invest in more time - by creating more time and leveraging it properly, the more time you can devote to the things that are going to drive you towards your passions and your goals. By defining the dimensions in our lives that we wish to spend more time in, we can better utilise and create the time available.   Leverage and outsource all of your low-value tasks - Household tasks, administrative tasks and other low-value duties can consume a large amount of our personal development time. By employing others to help, we can focus on the things that are truly important. Invest in your health - Looking better is wonderful, but by improving our health we also improve our energy levels. Sleeping, also, is a crucial part of maintaining our optimum energy levels. Plan your day carefully.  Invest in your mindset - Understanding how our psychology works is hugely important in terms of how we begin to improve our attitude and self-belief. Seminars, coaches, audiobooks and podcasts are an invaluable source of mindset improvement. Investing in knowledge and skills - If mindset is what makes you take action, then knowledge and skills are the things that will create more certainty around what you are trying to achieve. Seek out experts who are a few steps ahead of where you want to be. Invest in your network - Look at who you’re spending your time with, particularly in the world of business. Surround yourself with people who are a few steps ahead, and learn and grow in their company. Always celebrate your successes - Focussing purely on achievement can sometimes leave us blind to the actual progress we are making. Pause once in a while to reflect upon your growth.   BEST MOMENTS  ‘Investing in yourself is not a “should do”, it’s a “must do”’  ‘Find a way to add more value than anyone else does, and you’ll never have to worry about anything’  ‘Every day, work harder on yourself than anything else’  ‘Depending on where you want to go, your education and what you want to invest in, may not be what the establishment does’  ‘You gotta take action!’  ‘I’ve always wanted to be the best version of myself I can be’ ‘You are the sum average of the five people you spend the most time with. So choose these people well!’ ‘It can sometimes be possible to improve ourselves by two avenues at once - listening to an audiobook while exercising stimulates our body and mind simultaneously’ ‘Excuses are created in the mind and do not exist’ ‘Where are you now, where do you want to be, and what is the gap?’ ‘Your network is your net worth’ ‘Everyone needs me time, just make sure it’s not an excuse for procrastination’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Nick’s Twitter Scale Up Your Business Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST My name is Nick Bradley. I’m an entrepreneur, author, speaker and investor.  My background is in growing and scaling VC and Private Equity backed businesses.  Having successfully built, bought and sold a number of companies, and removed myself from day-to-day operations, my focus now is on helping entrepreneurs get to where they want to be, in business and in life. As well as investing in growth businesses and backing turnarounds - with the ultimate aim of creating value from significant capital events.  I’m passionate about personal and professional development - showing up and being the best version of myself ... every day.  My bigger vision is to help bring entrepreneurial skills, experience and mindset to people in developing nations - so they can follow their dreams, live life more on their terms - utilising entrepreneurship as a global force for good.   CONTACT METHOD https://twitter.com/nickcbradley nick@fielding.global www.fielding.global

The speakers discuss the theoretical issues surrounding Remote Warfare.

Theorising that one could work out the opposite of things that don’t have a natural opposite, two idiots stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator, and vanished. They awoke to find themselves trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not their own, and wondering what also might be the opposite of an ice cream Sundae, and tea bags. So, are we right? Or are we the opposite of right? Join in the fun, because joining in is lots of fun.

Over the last fifteen years Britain has seen the continued growth of a vibrant Muslim musical culture that attempts to fuse religious observance and spiritual expression with global pop sounds and the faint traces of an Islamic musical/poetic tradition. Characterised by both stylistic and conceptual syncreticism, this musical phenomenon can often elude straightforward cultural and religious theorisation. This paper therefore attempts to provide a typology based on two identifiable streams of musical practice amongst British Muslims today – ‘Islamic music’ and ‘Islamically-concious music’.

Dr. Stephen Winter, Senior Lecturer in Political Theory, University of Auckland gives a talk for the OTJR seminar series on 1st December 2014.

Speaker: Fadi Bardawil, University of North Carolina Discussant: Fuad Musallam, LSE Chair: John Chalcraft, LSE Drawing on the theorisation of the Marxist group Socialist Lebanon, Fadi Bardawil looks at how Lebanon's simultaneous economic integration into the Arab area through its services-based mode of production, and its isolation from Arab political causes, was affected by the advent of the Palestinian Resistance on the national political scene. Bardawil pays particular attention to how the Left theorised the Lebanese State, class-formation, as well as the role of Palestinian Resistance as an external force that would transform the rules of the Lebanese sectarian political game by rallying the masses around the national question. Recorded 21 January 2015. This seminar forms part of the 'Social Movements and Popular Mobilisation in the MENA Research Theme'.

Theorising Cities Now: Putting Comparison to Work for Global Urban Studies Dr Jennifer Robinson (University College London) Abstract This paper argues that global urbanism, the commitment to producing an understanding of the urban which is potentially open to the experiences of all cities – to a world of cities – is best served by a comparative imagination. The spatiality of theorising the urban experience maps well onto the core elements of a comparative imagination – thinking across different “cases” to produce conceptualisations which contribute to wider understandings of the processes being analysed, and which might then, in turn, be considered in relation to other contexts or cases. However, as the comparative methods which have conventionally underpinned urban studies are not well placed to serve the project for a more global urbanism the paper will present some tactics for a reformatted comparativism. Reconfiguring the tactics and form of the comparative imagination aligns with significant issues in the wider theorisation of the urban which are currently provoking considerable debate. Can we understand cities as assemblages of circulating phenomena, or as outcomes of wider social processes? To what extent is it possible to configure a conceptually adequate theorisation of the urban? How do concepts of cities relate to the phenomenal elements of the urban world which present themselves to us through observations and encounters? These rather abstract theoretical debates are analytically closely connected to the practical challenges of producing a more international urban studies. Above all, an orientation to an open and revisable conceptualisation of the urban, willing to work with, puzzle through and make room for the differentiation and diversity of urban life is essential for enabling the emergence of a more inclusive global urban theoretical practice.
