    *PATREON EXCLUSIVE* Attention Fracking: How Big Tech Steals Your Mind with Henry Kramer

    Emma's class on anti-civilization thought begins in August 2026: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses/p/anti-civilization-recovering-from-industry-and-progress Are we free to think, or has our attention already been excavated before we can conceive of thinking? In this episode, Serpetie welcomes Henry Kramer of the School of Radical Attention for a wide-ranging conversation on attention fracking, the colonization of the imagination, and what it might mean to re-enchant our relationship to the more-than-human world. Drawing on depth psychology, phenomenology, and radical politics, we explore whether mysticism and activism can ever really be reconciled--or might it rather be the case that keeping this tension is one of the purposes of imaginal practice. The public podcast feeds feature a preview of the full conversation. The extended discussion involves more on imaginal practices and a shared raw meditation on the experience of grief in our world today. Contributing subscribers can access the full episode.

    Sacred Science vs. the Machine: Nasr on Nature, Technology & Modernity

    Find Emma's course here: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses What if modernity's greatest crime isn't economic or political, but spiritual, a severing of humanity from the sacred language written into nature itself? In this episode, Serpetie and Emma dig into Seyyed Hossein Nasr's 1993 collection The Need for a Sacred Science, taking a critical look at his perennialist argument that the harmony, symbols, and laws of the natural world carry an ontological reality that modern scientific reductionism has all but destroyed. The conversation moves through Nasr's critique of technological progress, the idol of innovation, and some surprising common ground with Deleuze, James Hillman, and anti-civilization thought, including what any of this means in the age of AI. Part two goes deeper into Nasr's sacred order and its tensions with strife and Nietzschean cosmology, and that one is for Patreon subscribers only. Link below.

    How Can We Build Solidarity With Children? with Madeline Lane-McKinley

    AHRC EVENTS: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/previous-courses-1 Buy Madeline's book: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2610-solidarity-with-children We live in a world that is profoundly against children—evident in the genocide in Palestine, the fascist targeting of trans children, and the blatant disregard for the lives of migrant children crossing borders and oceans. It is a world in which climate catastrophe has become the new normal, in which children’s futures are by no means assured. What we need, feminist writer and scholar Madeline Lane-McKinely argues, is a politics of solidarity with children, one that sees children as comrades in our struggle for a better future. Blending personal and political reflection with cultural analysis, Lane-McKinley examines the history of childhood as a system of private property in capitalism, showing how the idea of the child has been weaponized in the service of white supremacy and empire. They disentangle motherhood from the act of caregiving, tracing the possibilities of revolutionary mothering. And they critique the parents’ rights movement and imagines what education might look like outside schools, considering how we might center children as we challenge the strictures of the nuclear family.  Support LEPHT HAND: Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHAND Emma's Substack: https://elftheory.substack.com/ Sereptie's Substack: https://splitinfinities.substack.com/ Merch and Design Shop: crit-drip.com Acid Horizon Links: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizon Sereptie (ambient project): https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ Acid Horizon Research Commons is now live: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-main

    Logging Off, Opting Out, and Not Texting Back: The Ethics of Non-Response with Jana Bacevic

    Enroll at AHRC Summer School 2026: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses What if you don't owe anyone anything? Not your attention, not your care, not even a reply to their message? That might sound like the philosophy of a sociopath, but sociologist and philosopher Jana Bacevic argues it's actually the foundation of a more honest and more just ethics. In this episode of LEPHT HAND, Emma sits down with Jana to discuss non-reciprocity, a concept that challenges the Kantian backbone of liberal morality and asks what it would mean to stop paying back a system that was never fair to begin with.

    Prog Rock, Politics, and the Pathos of Distance: Is Progressive Music Elitist or Revolutionary?

    AHRC Summer School: www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses Vintagia is back! www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/vintagia-basecamp What does it mean that the music most associated with wizards, capes, and sixteen keyboards also harbored some of the most radical left politics in rock history? In this episode, Emma and Sereptie are joined by writer, bassist, and WFMU radio DJ Dave Mandl for a deep dive into the origins, aesthetics, and political contradictions of progressive rock. From the egalitarian aristocracy of prog's classical pretensions to the outright communism of Henry Cow and the Art Bears, we trace the fault lines between individualism, elitism, and genuine aesthetic liberation. Along the way we ask whether the charge of bourgeois excess ever really stuck — and what prog's capacious, boundary-pushing spirit might still have to offer a left politics in search of new forms.

    The PBS Unconscious: Childhood Wonder, Nostalgia, and the Collapse of Shared American Culture

    What happens to a generation raised on the civic idealism of public broadcasting when the world it promised never arrives? In this episode, Sereptie is joined by Emma Stamm and Bob Langan to unpack his recent blog post Corduroy Psychedelia: Boards of Canada and the PBS Unconscious — an exploration of nostalgia, childhood wonder, and the shared cultural commons that neoliberalism quietly dismantled. Drawing on Mark Fisher's hauntology and acid communism, Spinoza's theory of affect, and the uncanny aesthetics of films like Picnic at Hanging Rock, the conversation asks whether the affects instilled in us by PBS, Napster, and late-night diners might still carry some political charge. From Boards of Canada dads to the death of the diner, this is a wide-ranging meditation on what it means to grieve a future that never came.

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

    Enroll in classes now: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses What if the psychedelic revolution in end-of-life care is less a liberation from the medicalization of death than its most seductive intensification? 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.
