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.

SD45 w/Inigo Wilkins - Shitshow Theory and Entropic Modernity

We’re incredibly honoured to be joined by Ray Brassier, a hugely formative thinker for both of us and one of the most important philosophers of the past 20 years. We talk about his upcoming book Fatelessness: Freedom and Fatality After Marx and, the contemporary condition of The Wretched of the Earth. Ray also gives an absolutely brilliant takedown of Nick Land and the speculative inhuman. Hope you enjoy it.

sharing a special passion for the poetic pleasures of languages i don’t understand, for voices that sound unfamiliar and sometimes otherworldly - embedded in sprawling textures and a branching jungle of original, sometimes weird, sometimes outright bouncy beats...

Basswald #34: Byte Fog

What can LARP teach us about pedagogy, community, and collective world-making? artist, researcher, curator and mentor in Game Design, Carina Erdmann joins Miguel Prado & Mattin to talk games as art, hacking everyday platforms, the politics of play, and why we might need to train our social muscles for futures that don’t yet exist. This conversation moves through conspiracy as collective thinking, the limits of empathy, and the careful work of attunement in collaborative play. Along the way, we touch on opacity and prefigurative practices, communal living experiments like the ones exercised at PAF, and what it means to rehearse for a revolution in these bleak conditions.
