  • Can the Left Be Saved? With Nina Power and DC Miller

    After my first livestream with Nina Power and DC Miller, we decided to sit down and continue the conversation. In this podcast, we discuss whether or not the Left can be saved from its current insanity. This conversation was recorded in March 2019, right before I left England for good.

    Nina and DC are currently raising money for a legal campaign against Luke Turner. You can support their campaign here. If you'd like to discuss this podcast with me and others, suggest future guests, or read/watch/listen to more content on these themes, request an invitation here.

  • Cath-Pilled Shoplifting Theory with Dasha from Red Scare

    Dasha Nekrasova is co-host of the podcast Red Scare. We discussed the One Holy Apostolic Church, Simone Weil, the best and worst drugs, prayer, Pussy Riot, Zizek, shoplifting, abortion, Deleuze, accelerationism, and many other things.

    They just shut down Google Hangouts so we're still adjusting to a whole new recording setup — the audio is a little wonky, sorry!

  • Ethics of Shoplifting From Self-Checkout Kiosks With Xenogothic

    From the rap sheet that nearly got me fired. I thought I made a very good case!

    "Tonight's livestreamed disquisition will be on the ethics of shoplifting from self-checkout kiosks. Hint: I'm in favor. But I often feel guilty, so I need to think this through clearly and explicitly. Then we will be joined by @Xenogothic, a denizen of "acc twitter" and "cave twitter" and the batshit blogosphere. I believe Xenogothic is kind of an anti-leftist leftist type, kind of like me maybe, but I'm not really sure. Only one way to find out... Xenogothic's blog is at https://xenogothic.com"

  • Has Academia Failed? Talk Given to U. of Southampton Students Upon My Honorable Retirement

    "So that's how academia got pwned, and that's how I pwned this university." In this short talk, I discuss the purpose of the university, how technological acceleration is overheating academia, how I made the decision to leave academia for full independence on the internet.

  • My Interview on Abortion/Necrophilia with Katie Way for Babe.net

    I was interviewed by Katie Way (formerly of Babe.net) after one of my nuclear tweets went viral. Given the role this tweet played in my eventual departure from academia, I'm posting this interview (with permission from Ms. Way) for anyone interested in the larger story. It's pretty interesting as an artifact of media culture in the year 2018.

  • Memology of Peak Oil with Chadafrican

    I speak with Chad A. Haag of the Chadafrican Philosophy channel.
