In this episode, David McKerracher (Dave), founder of Theory Underground , joins me to discuss the core ideas of his book "TIMEENERGY: Why You Have No Time or Energy."

In this enriching discussion, Dave and I discuss his concept of “Timenergy,” and its relation to various topics such as free time, otium, leisure, labor, automation,  slavery, the school system, the PMC, and how the ideas of Marx, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and others influenced his thinking. In the backroom,(the second half of the podcast on Patreon), Dave and I discuss some of the more radically contentious claims of his book, and we discuss what a post-capitalist/socialist/communist society that prioritizes leisure and human potential could look like. This includes criticisms of the contemporar “left”, the “anti-work” movement, and previously existing socialism.
