    Deleuze, Drugs, and Death: Psychedelic Thanatology at the End of Life

In this crossover episode of LEPHT HAND and Acid Horizon, SEREPTIE and Emma are joined by anthropologist Sujit Thomas, whose research on psychedelic thanatology cuts through therapeutic optimism to ask harder questions about pastoral power, metaphysical belief shift, and the commodification of mystical experience. Drawing on Foucault, Deleuze, and Nietzsche, the conversation moves from authentic dying to the death transcendence scale and Huxley's heroic final dose — asking whether the good death being marketed to us is really a pacification of the excess and irrationality that makes life worth affirming.

    Can Machines Imagine? Fabian Offert on AI, Images, and 'Vector Media'

    Can machines imagine, or do they merely recombine the vast archive of images and language we have already produced? In this episode of LEPHT HAND, Emma Stamm and Sereptie speak with Fabian Offert about his forthcoming book Vector Media and the philosophical stakes of machine learning. Together they explore machine vision, the politics of images, and the strange epistemology of vector space, where culture, language, and visual media are flattened into new regimes of abstraction. Along the way, the conversation touches on critical technical practice, AI art, and whether these systems reveal something about human perception or instead confront us with an alien form of thought.

In this episode of LEPHT HAND, we sit down with Phil Ford of Weird Studies to explore Richard Wagner’s Das Rheingold and the mythic machinery of the Ring Cycle. Moving between politics, metaphysics, and music, we examine the curse of gold, the logic of contracts, and the catastrophic singularity of love. Along the way, we ask whether Wagner’s aesthetic vision can be disentangled from his ideology and what it still reveals about the modern soul.

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

    7. FEB.

    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.

  5. 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.

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

    13.12.2025

    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.

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

    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.
