Fight Like An Animal

Embodied Politics


Listen Later

Now that the first book deriving from this podcast is complete, it feels less ridiculous to say it. The purpose of this project has always been to create a truly new political tendency, as different from any extant one—arguably more so—than, say, monarchism is from liberalism, or liberalism from anarchism. The distinction, as Arnold argues in Revolutionary Biology: Embodied Politics for Global Survival is biological coherence. The misconception that biology implies a lack of plasticity is present, in one form or another, in all our existing politics. This manifests in its outright rejection in some traditions; in others, it manifests in arguments about what human social behavior is “really” like. What is lacking, in every case, is an understanding that every human potential has an underlying biology, which we must understand in order to affect which potentials manifest. This is the essence of embodied politics. In this episode, we briefly examine the path to this book's completion, hear the first chapter, “The World Is Dying and So Are Our Stories about Saving It,” and get an update on future projects emerging from Fight Like An Animal and the World Tree Center for Evolutionary Politics.
