it's too bad that you don't watch anime because i'd love to hear you guys discuss the dialects in the final contradiction between the spirals and the antispirals escaping the 'room' or 'bottle' of their confined reality in Gurren Lagann

Norman Finkelstein On How The Left Cancels Itself

EPISODE 310: A Humpback Chub In Every Home

Bonus Episodes

Ryan and Todd discuss Ludwig Wittgenstein's project in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. They begin by looking at this project on its own terms and taking stock of its grand ambitions. Then they examine its intersection with the concerns of psychoanalysis and dialectics.

Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

In this episode, Todd and I work through two of psychoanalytic theory's most fundamental terms: desire and drive. Despite how fundamental these terms are there exists a fair amount of disagreement. Far from being generally agreed upon first principles, desire and drive are consistent sites for some of psychoanalysis's most interesting interventions (e.g. Alenka Zupancic's What is Sex? and Lee Edelman's No Future, both discussed in this episode). As always: thanks so much for listening! We very much appreciate it.

Fall 2018

Desire & Drive

We headed to Hollywood Boulevard where a diverse crowd gathered with signs mentioning "QAnon", "Pizzagate" and "Pedogate" last Thursday. This burgeoning, country-wide rebranding of the far-right conspiracy theory grants it a certain subtlety and potentially broadens its appeal. "Save the children" the QAnon follower might now tell a normie — and who could disagree with that? We attended this chaotic and festive rally and interviewed attendees as everybody marched into the belly of the Hollywood beast.
