In this Brolo Episode, I spend the first twenty minutes or so trying to get everyone to stop listening by rambling on and on and on. In the second half, I discuss Left vs Right vs Unconditional Accelerationism, why I think they’re ultimately the same thing, and why I think we need a better political framework than just Go Baby Go; and I talk about the Ergodic Ethic vs the Strive Ethic and why you should do more than just join self-improvement groups and climb mountains.

Mikey and Sean are here! Today we're talking about the recent film Bugonia. The three of us recently watched this film, and we couldn't wait to discuss it! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEAVY SPOILERS! DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to give away too much in the description, to respect the spoilers, but in this episode we touch on epistemology, belief, Truth, The Outside, conspiracists, Ordinary Pyschosis, Superego Oriented Neurosis, and some other stuff too! Mikey makes the expert observation that Bugonia and Sorry To Bother You make an excellent double feature for a Theory-head, I complain about Jacques-Alain Miller, and Sean champions the Ethical and Friendship! Great conversation! Thanks, friends!! Also, shoutout to DAMO! Check out the Science Fiction with Damien Walter channel on YouTube and his recent video about Kubrick and Eptstein! Be warned, there is a jumpscare near the end! - https://youtu.be/eFJhR6fM3vU?si=KV2Ga-7c4qDzHLbP Don’t miss out on all the stuff going on at Mikey’s YouTube channel and Substack - https://youtube.com/@TheDangerousMaybe?si=2btoEcN3ta3Dd-V2 https://substack.com/@thedangerousmaybe Make sure to check out Sean's Substack too, he''s been droppin' some hits! - https://substack.com/@dukesdoswing and as always, stay tuned for more!!

Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I are joined by our friend Chris Cutrone to discuss Marxism and the world we live in today. There is a lot of hubub going around about Artificial Intelligence and what it might do, or might be doing, or might have done already, to the economy and to political and social relations, and to the possibility of Freedom itself. We don’t answer any of these questions, that’s not really the way this works, but I think the overarching conversation can only benefit from Chris’ sober take on the situation. Come along as we interrogate notions of Labor and Value, Production and Exchange, Appropriation, Power, and many others, in a new world that includes a powerful externalized structure made of fractally abstracted Intellectual Labor that we call AI!

In this Bonus Brolo Episode, I continue talking about Intelligence, Functionalism, Subjectivity, and the end of the world.

Recently, Mikey and I spoke with Marek and Roberto, excellent dudes and co-authors of the book Exocapitalism: Economies With Absolutely No Limits. One of the things we touched on was their notion of Computation, which I think is very similar to Nick Land’s interpretation of Intelligence; and I juxtapose these ideas against that of Subjectivity. I also talk about how annoyed I get with breathless dorks who think AI is something it isn’t, and also those unwilling curmudgeons too scared to admit that we are on the precipice of some pretty undeniable changes. I also talk a little bit about radioactive slime molds at Chernobyl.

In this brolo episode I talk about Paranoia, Nihilism, and dog-walking-etiquette; among other things.

Recently I’ve been thinking through some kind of cynicism or irony-poisoning, or something, that feels bad, man. It’s come up over and over, and I think it’s a terminal condition. I draw some connections from, and through, this malaise to Superego and TechnoCapital, and the end of the world!!

Come along with me as I wander through the darkness! Or whatever.

In which I talk s**t, talk about s**t, talk s**t about talking s**t, and then go on to try and make some clarifications to how I use the term Intelligence and why I use it that way, and why it’s not absurd to accuse my toaster of being Intelligent.

What is the difference between Machine Intelligence and Human Intelligence? I don’t know, but I do know that there appears to be one. This appearance is one element of Subjectivity, the thing that Capital ultimately must eradicate in order to become the sole for-the-sake-of-which of all the metabolic activity here on Planet Earth. Come along for the ride as I clean some of the lint from my bellybutton!!!

Also, Heppy Halloweek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dolo bonus!

The front half of this episode is me navelgazing about niche consumer identity, and the back half is me trying to make the distinction between AI/AGI in general and AITechnoCapital clear.

I fall into the Doomer category, but I’m not just a dumb doomer by default, I have a good reason!

Anyway, thanks for droppin’ by, see ya’ soon space-consumernode!

In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I discuss the “Tucker Carlson Numogram Incident,” a moment that future historians might look to as a pivotal moment in the development of the Human Resistance against the Terminators and the Decepticons.

We also spend a weekend at Bernie’s, or at least a good twenty-minutes; discussing the dangers of A.I., some potential benefits, and how Workerist and Radical Antiwork tendencies influence contemporary “Left” politics.

This episode is really good. I think it might meander a bit at first, but once we get into it, this s**t fires on all cylinders!!!

Thanks for your time and attention, catch ya’ on the flipside foo!

Another shitty bonus episode. This is what you’d be getting if I had a paywall, but I don’t, so I’m forcing myself onto free followers and subscribers.

I’m crying about Identities and Politics and the Internet, but I think the sparkplug thing was clever. This episode sucks.

The Dangerous Maybe and No Future join me for a discussion about films, Theory, Marxism, History, and some other stuff too! Spoiler alerts for Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence, which came out like twenty-five years ago, D.A.R.Y.L., which came out like forty years ago, Shane, which came out like seventy years ago, and some other films too.

This was a fun discussion, we use these films to discuss the notion of the Human and the Machine, and talk about that perennial Human insecurity; what makes me different from the trees and the rocks and the other “machines,” or “assemblages,” all around me?

We also talk a bit about History, Politics, and Marxism; we blow off some steam that’s been building up in the wake of someone, who remains unnamed but you can find it in a certain comment section, using Lenin in an absurd elitist way to tell us to shut up and stop being toxic and get back to work; and we just have some fun and shoot the s**t!!!

This one was fun! I’m glad we all watched these films and talked about them together!! Shout out to all the homies and your families, we’ll see you on the next one!!
