The Parallax View: Shut up, Hippie-Girl

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?   David Cayley’s new book and all his works can be found on his blog: https://www.davidcayley.com/blog 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

The Parallax View, September 7th; Ep. 15

Andrew Sweeny and Tom Amarque become Guerilla-Ontologists, and ask, if cognitive developement and stages theories are real or not. And their conclusion: All phenomena are real in some sense, unreal in some sense, meaningless in some sense, real and meaningless in some sense, unreal and meaningless in some sense, and real and unreal and meaningless in some sense. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-c709ee4/message

The Parallax View, September 1st; Ep. 14

Maniphesto Media Academy (aka MMA) is a virtual one-room school-house—an alternative learning platform—for those who want to take an intellectual and spiritual deep dive.  It is a weekly study group and lecture series, where we try to make sense of the present apocalyptic times.  At MMA we will celebrate creative content, think critically about the existing paradigm, and create a lively learning community.  Education is in crisis today. More than ever we need convivial spaces for real learning, free from cynical corporate demands, a top heavy administration, and the extreme political correctness which haunts the present academic environment.  As a University professor for some years, I feel that now is the time for us to collectively reinvent education for the future and rediscover its original meaning and purpose.  In this spirit, Maniphesto Media Academy is offering a creative space for free thinking and learning.     For more information:  https://maniphestocore.com/maniphesto-media-academy/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-c709ee4/message

The Death of Cool: A video essay by Andrew Sweeny

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. He Lectures at Sciences Po, in Paris, France.

The Parallax-Interview with Dr. Christoper Ryan

WITH STEVE MCINTOSH, DANIEL GÖRTZ, JOHN BUNZL, MAX BORDERS AND THADDEUS RUSSELL Since the system of politics in its modern and postmodern iteration is obviously not fit to deal with the manifold problems (meta-crisis), how could a ‘post-postmodern’ approach to politics look like? What new narrative is needed to legitimize a new (metamodern/post-postmodern/post-progressive) approach to politics? GUESTS Thaddeus Russell: American professor of history, author and creator of the renegade university Daniel Görtz: Swedish sociologist, 'meta-modern' philosopher and author of 'The Listening Society' and 'The Nordic Ideology' Steve McIntosh: American 'integral' philosopher and author of 'Developmental Politics' John Bunzl: British entrepreneur, economist and author of 'The SIMPOL Solution' Max Borders: author of 'The Social Singularity' and 'After Collapse'; he is also Executive Director at 'Social Evolution' and Co-founder of the Future Frontiers Conference HOSTED BY Tom Amarque: Founder of Parallax Dennis Wittrock: Holacracy Coach, Philosopher and Co-founder of the Integral European Conference www.denniswittrock.com About the Strange Attractor Series In the last couple of years, we have witnessed the emergence of different meta-models, theories, and future visions which try to go beyond the worldview of postmodernism: a strange attractor that seems to run on new and exciting algorithms. But what—if anything—do all of these models and movements have in common? Is there a shared deep-structure that is expressing itself, not only in new and more complex ways of thinking and cognition, but also in geopolitics, science, industry, religion, ecology, sexuality, parenting, culture, technology, architecture, the arts—and in every other area of contemporary life. Is there a strange attractor that emerges after postmodernity? What are its shape and characteristics? What new and exciting vistas and opportunities do these new vistas open up for us? Can they contribute to solving the existential problems of the current meta-crisis? What are the moral and ethical injunctions that we could infer from the present emergence of these meta-tribes. In this Roundtable-series - hosted by PARALLAX - we invite a multitude of ‘post-postmodern’ pioneer—thinkers, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, educators, economists, and artists—to have an interdisciplinary discussion about the essence of Post-Postmodernity – given there is such a thing. More precisely, this podcast-series is an experiment which seeks to find out whether these movements and models after Postmodernity have something in common. Can these movements leave their respective bubbles and contribute something essential to the development of the world we live in? That is our primary question. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-c709ee4/message
