Brent Cooper is a Political Sociologist, behind the The Abs-Tract Organization (TATO), a Metamodern Think Tank producing political theory and critique.     In this podcast we explore critiques of both Ontological Design, as explored in Technosocial by ourselves, as well as of some of the broader ideas around Metamodernism.   We speak of critique, of progressivism and about activism - through political action as well as design interventions.   Correction: The Centre Pompidou in Paris is not a train station but an arts centre (I swear I didn't mean it on purpose). Additionally, the Dutch artist and architect behind “New Babylon” is Constant Nieuwenhuys.

Miguel A. Fernandez is the author of the Operative Traditions book series and an industrial engineer.   In this conversation we explore: how tools and creative disciplines shape human beings; how literacy has replaced the intelligence of other senses; the way a craftsman's nervous system fuses with his tools; Eastern traditions, why Westerners seek them, and how they have been coopted by capitalism; how ancient cosmologies cannot easily be applied in cybernetic or industrial cultures; the heroic path; knights templars and freemasons and their legacy in crafts; technique and technology; the constraint of bourgeois values; art as more than entertainment; approaching the internet as a raw material; using paradigms as materials; belonging to something greater than oneself; wholeness as the maximum expression of what is possible in the moment - as opposed to perfection; suffering, guilt and the myth of paradise; approaching power structures themselves as raw materials that can be learned from.

In this episode, we interview Professor Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin, Russian political analyst and strategist, often called the most dangerous philosopher in the world.   Duginism's influence on contemporary Russian thought, geopolitics and contemporary political discourse is widely recognized. Dugin is a traditionalist, a critic of liberalism and of modernity, and a proponent of Eurasianism. He is also a prominent student of Heidegger, of the Kaballah and a Platonist; and in this interview we explore how his metaphysics fit into in the Internet age.  We also ask him about the role of creativity in geopolitics, on his relationship with Chaos Magic and  about Political Angeleology - and how different Logoi and angelic entities are engaged in a war of mind, or Noomahia, as per his own work.   We also asked him about his views on Ontological Design, and ended up exploring how modernity is actually an ancient phenomena, manifest in the Logos of Cybele and the cult of matter.
