    Death of God w/ Peter Rollins

    Alright, we’ve got some Good News…God is Dead! But does he know he’s dead? This week is PART ONE with the wonderful PETER ROLLINS and we’re talking Death of God theology; belief, knowledge, and Faith. We get into Christian Atheism, Peter’s Church of the Contradiction, and why Nothing Lives, Nothing Binds, & Nothing Saves. What does Bigfoot have to do with ontological incompleteness & Slavoj Žižek’s work on Quantum Physics? Why is Atheism not Atheist enough? Big thanks to all of you over the years who have asked us to have a chat with Peter… To hear more with Peter head over to our PATREON for PART TWO next week and access to our discord, all our other patreon episodes, interviews and SHORT SESSIONS!

  3. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Social Division

    OCT 28

    The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Social Division

    Alright, we’re ⁠Living in the End Times⁠ and this is the FOURTH and FINAL episode in our series on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or as Žižek sometimes puts it, the Four Riders of the Apocalypse. So far in our series we’ve taken a look at the economy focussing on intellectual property, the biogenetic revolution, nature and the ideology of ecology, and today we’ll look at the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, the one Žižek locates in the space of the global commons of humanity,  what he describes as the explosive growth of social division or new forms of apartheid, new walls and slums... Žižek says we are approaching a whole series of critical points, and the question is: can the global liberal democratic system – the capitalist system – deal with them or not? A special thank you to everyone who has been reaching out to us about this new series, it's been much appreciated! See you in Paris! Ž&…

  6. PREVIEW - Whistleblowers at the End of the World

    OCT 7

    PREVIEW - Whistleblowers at the End of the World

    LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HERE! Alright, here's another PATREON EPISODE PREVIEW This week we’re talking Spies for the People, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks, Julian Assange, and the Logic of the Bomb. Slavoj Žižek asks, "Did WikiLeaks open our eyes to the illusion of freedom?" Was the only surprising thing about the WikiLeaks revelations that they contain no surprises? Or did we learn exactly what we expected to learn? The real disturbance was at the level of appearances: we can no longer pretend we don’t know what everyone knows we know… Alenka Zupančič says that “Knowledge thus adopts a new and different role: it is no longer simply something to be disavowed but - paradoxically - something that can help us disavow (the real of this same knowledge).“ So what happens when someone yells THEATRE in a crowded fire? Why doesn’t revelation necessarily liberate? Is Julian Assange an Antingone figure?  What does Norm Mcdonald have to tell us about the register of truth in the public domain? Thanks to our Patreon @tarryingwiththenegative for this weeks episode idea! See you in Paris! Ž&...
