Quixotic Musings Quixotic Tom

In this initial interview with musician, author and old friend, Tim Benson, we review some of the main themes of his new book, "The New Eon", which, building on the work of David Hawkins, advances that we are on the cusp of a historically unprecedented time. Check out Tim's site here:

His work is also available on Amazon, here:

In a conversation that in some way draws many of our previously discussed themes to a point, James Tunney and I consider the manner in which contemporary modes of culture and technology are driving us not merely to a diminuition of thinking, but, perhaps even its loss altogether.

In an opening discussion, WD James and I discuss elements of the Western Tradition that loosely constitute what could be termed "Egalitarian Anti-Modernism": Building upon and expanding on aspects of his ongoing essay series at Winter Oak, and WD's substack, Philosopher's Holler, themes we explore include aspects of Plato's 'Republic', the debate between Realism and Nominalism, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and even a bit of Shakespeare. Do watch and enjoy! WD James' work can be found both at his Substack, and at Winter Oak, the links to which are here:

In another conversation with James Tunney, we take up the question of how relevant the distinction between the political Left and Right are, exploring whether its function is merely propagandist in quality. In turn, we scrutinize whether it is connected to deeper cultural currents, and how we are to relate to them....

In a sequel conversation with Eric Coppolino of Planet Waves FM and Chiron Return, we begin considering the degraded state of journalism in the wake of digital's ascendency, and move over the course of the conversation to reflections upon the importance of embodiment and embodied relationship as an antidote to the dilemmas of the present.

Here is the link to Eric's work on Poormina Wagh, that we discuss at a certain length in our chat:

In another ranging conversation with James Tunney, we survey the curiously mythological dimensions of the scientific project as prologue to considering the symbolism of the skull, the implications of Golgotha, and how these things ramify for our relationship to the technological.
