  1. From Weird Academia to Acid Communism: Meta-Politics, Community, and Holding Space for the Humanities

    2 DAYS AGO

    From Weird Academia to Acid Communism: Meta-Politics, Community, and Holding Space for the Humanities

    Emma and Sereptie debrief the 'Weird Academia' conference in Bloomington, Indiana, reflecting on what it means to make space for the strange within and beyond the academy. We explore animal consciousness, interdisciplinary research, and the “closet” of weird scholarship, asking how encounters that rupture established methods can open new forms of knowledge. The conversation turns toward meta-politics, examining non-communication, collective retreat, and para-academic practices as forms of resistance amid digital exhaustion and institutional collapse. Along the way, we connect weirding to acid communism, communal learning, and the ongoing struggle to sustain the humanities as a living, shared practice.

  2. Deleuze and Simondon on Psychedelic Experience: Individuation and Immanent Spirituality with Aragorn Eloff

    Deleuze and Simondon on Psychedelic Experience: Individuation and Immanent Spirituality with Aragorn Eloff

    In this episode of LEPHT HAND, Emma leads a conversation with Aragorn Eloff on psychedelic experience through the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Gilbert Simondon, set against contemporary debates in cognitive science and computational theories of mind. Aragorn introduces his theory of the psychedelic, drawing on enactivism, complex systems theory, and theories of individuation and becoming. Together, the discussion explores anxiety, metastability, immanent spirituality, and the risks and possibilities of psychedelic transformation. The episode considers how non-computational models of mind open new ways of thinking about consciousness, therapy, and collective sense-making.

Rather than centering on a single text, the conversation reflects on early encounters with philosophy and how those formative experiences shape the way thinking is pursued today. Together, Craig and Emma begin to sketch what rigorous philosophical research might look like outside traditional academic institutions, emphasizing collective study, depth, and experimentation. The episode serves as a calibration, setting the terms for how LEPHT HAND will think, work, and research going forward.

    AHRC 2026: A Brief Hiatus & A Reflection on Vattimo’s “Beyond the Subject

    In this end-of-year installment, we’re sharing a conversation originally released on LEPHT HAND as we take a rare and well-earned brief hiatus from regular publishing. This pause marks a moment of transition rather than retreat, as both LEPHT HAND and Acid Horizon continue to evolve beyond the podcast form! Closing out the episode is a reflection on Gianni Vattimo’s essay “Beyond the Subject,” engaging questions of weak thought, interpretation, and the limits of the sovereign self. As we close out the year, we’re also preparing a new slate of courses through the Acid Horizon Research Commons, and we look forward to returning soon, welcoming many of you into the classroom in the weeks ahead.

  5. Socialism, Spirituality and the Forgotten Occult Roots of the Left with Graham Jones

    28/11/2025

    Socialism, Spirituality and the Forgotten Occult Roots of the Left with Graham Jones

    Can a genuinely liberatory politics survive without mystery, imagination, or the spiritual experiences that give life its depth?  Sereptie speaks with Graham Jones about Jacobin’s article “The Forgotten History of Socialism and the Occult” and why its knee-jerk rationalism gets the history wrong. We explore the intersections of Marxism, mysticism, occult traditions, utopian thought, and the warm stream of revolutionary desire. The discussion moves through materialist spirituality, political subjectivity, Boycott Watkins, and how radical movements can reclaim the ecstatic and the ineffable.

  6. Why Rationalism Fails: Excess, Variation, and Ontogenesis as First Philosophy (with Timothy Jackson)

    16/11/2025

    Why Rationalism Fails: Excess, Variation, and Ontogenesis as First Philosophy (with Timothy Jackson)

    What happens when the very logic we rely on to understand the world becomes the barrier to understanding it? In this episode, Timothy Jackson joins us to rethink rationalism through the lenses of Darwin, Simondon, Deleuze, and Bataille, challenging inherited frameworks across science and metaphysics. We explore variation, excess, and ontogenesis as the forces that precede and destabilize every closed system of explanation.  To explore more of Timothy’s work, visit his Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=vOnot8oAAAAJ&hl=en .

  7. Bergson and Weird Philosophy: JF Martel on Time, Subjectivity, and Weirding Realism

    Bergson and Weird Philosophy: JF Martel on Time, Subjectivity, and Weirding Realism

    Have you ever felt reality glitch, as though the weird was peeking through the cracks of time or the Real? In this episode of LEPHT HAND, JF Martel joins to explore how Henri Bergson’s concept of duration and Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of becoming invite a radically weird subjectivity, one that consumes rhythms, intensities, and habits across time. We discuss how this non-linear conception of time doesn’t just solve problems but also introduces new ones: what does it mean to be a subject in perpetual flux, and is this mysticism, metaphysics, or simply reality hiding behind a theatre of representation?

    Writing as Exorcism: Dreams and Dissolution in the Work of Henri Michaux (with Garett Strickland)

    Subscribe to LEPHT HAND for early access to episodes! Henri Michaux wrote as if to exorcise himself from existence. His poetry and prose traverse dream, delirium, and the slow undoing of identity, where language becomes both scalpel and spell. In this episode, Garett Strickland joins Sereptie to explore A Certain Plume, Darkness Moves (anthology), and Michaux’s hallucinatory experiments as acts of metaphysical revolt. Together they consider how writing, for Michaux, becomes an art of disappearance—a way of turning life itself into an exorcism.
