Not to be outdone, Eric wonders aloud where people defecate when ...

    Hartmut Rosa's Social Acceleration Theory

    In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss take time out of their somewhat busy schedules to talk about Hartmut Rosa's noted theory of 'social acceleration'.

Eric at one point in this episode recounts the time he gave a (hurried) presentation to Bob Hawke, the late former Labour party Prime Minister of Australia, and Louis admits that the new ordering system at h...

Having previously co-authored a work with Wallerstein, Charles tells Eric and Louis what the...
