The West is an itinerant war machine. We define who we are, prove our ethics via an Other we best. The only solution is Copernican.

We cannot do anything about climate change because of the pseudocertainty effect: "what is at issue..are competing claims of expertise and prophecy in human affairs. An expert posseses the truth in a particular domain (in this case cli

As a Canadian who has lived in Europe as well as America, I experienced more sameness than difference. As Saskia Sassen writes, global metropoles of elites all have the same culture really. You can get a craft beer everywhere now. As I writ

Similar story; was tested in Grade 5. Question: Did anyone else in your family have it? My mother and grandfather did. I had a very weird, one might have said traumatic childhood (kidnapped; lived in truck; orphanage; bizarre family) so I c

Yes. For one example Finland has a nasal inhalation vaccine and cannot get funding to go ahead with it. (my partner is Finnish).

Yes! I grew up on Donahue and the Geraldo Rivera show and Mory too. Those shows ratings were entirely built upon outrage. Social media is an iteration which allows all of us to join the audience. Tho I do admit for a romantic longing for 90

Youtube is now an owned Public Commons. In order to communicate we must pay rent to corporations as our commons is privatized. When the internet began it was public commons because no one owned it.

There is no functional Economy and this is due to the policies in place that the outgoing generation supported or, in the least, did not violently protest. So, in that way it is expected. To watch from the cupola of privilege that we in the

This is what real estate is for; they are and have been all my life stocks. We are ruled by Market Logic so that everything becomes quantified (Mbembe Necropolitics) including the Public Commons of Human Shelter.

The horror memoir book I wrote made me realize that part of the reason I am where I am - mostly content - is because of my stepfather. I sort of recoiled off him and, in that way, while my peers are in mid-life crisis I think folks like us

Why do we do nothing about climate change? We cannot. Why this deadlock? We live by Market Logic, which has no bearing on reality but is our symbolic reality because everyone acts as tho it is true, chasing admiration while simultaneously r

Yes. An excellent book on Market Logic is JP Dupuy Economy and the Future: A Question of Faith. It is philosophy but it is, vs Zizek or Lacan, an easy read. It is a very precise, logical argument that to debate here will end polemics.

My relationship with horror, I associate with my childhood asthma. We did not have drug coverage so I did not have inhalers so from 4 I'd be up all night (1970s) watching TV. Horror movies were the only thing that distracted me, filled

I left home at 15; my story is complex, but abusive stepfather is the quick summary. It was the best thing I ever did. He forbade my mother and sister from seeing me and so I have not seen my mother who remains with him. I did meet my siste

It is because the only logic we have left is Market Logic and the only ethical barrier we have left between us and violence is The Economy. The Economy is entirely faith based. And our faith is waning, and among younger generations, is gone

I lived in Colombia in '95 right after they legalized cocaine and weed. It was funny, there was all these fake police harassing the Europeans by getting a street kid to place a jar of actual weed (not cannabis) beside them on the beach

Nothing, in fact will 'save us'. Given our tight ideological grip, all we can do is reframe our failed order with new schemes.

I'm GenX and in my youth in Toronto I'd only go to the Fox and The bloor movie theater and they only played old things. I have not been to a theater in years after walking out of 10 movies in a row for so boring/silly.

I blame Zizek and his 2020 book Sex & the Failed Absolute who link unorientables (klein bottle, crosscap and Mobius) to unfinished human subjectivity.

Yes! And also, the urge for a rapid answer is ideological. Never has the origin of a virus happened in a year. Or two. The Spanish flu was from Kansas. Ten years after the fact SARS is mostly proven to be from bats. https://news.
