Benjamin Studebaker is here to talk to Mikey and I all about Populism and the so-called Right, and some other stuff too! What the hell is even Populism? Is it Right-wing, Left-wing, Centrist, or a Postmodern conspiracy of thieves? What's going with Right-wing politics? It seems to be the case that they're in disarray, kind like how the Left has always been in disarray. Should we be worried about Chat GPT hacking Hugging Face? Why does Christopher Nolan suck? And more, in this fantastic episode of The NanceCast! Thank you, Benjamin, always a blast to chop it up with you!!!!!

Yo!! Mikey are Sean are here to discuss the film, Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die! ***SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't seen this movie yet, we recommend doing so before you consume this episode, as there are several pleasant surprises in the movie that we probably spoil in this discussion!*** This movie is excellent! I don't want to write this description, it's kinda all in the episode. Although, I didn't get around to sharing my fears that this movie will never gain the following of other Cult Classics, some mentioned in the discussion, because it hits too close to home and people just aren't into that stuff anymore; though we do brush up against it.

Yo!! In this solo episode, I talk a bit about going into The Hospital as someone who has effectively sworn off modern healthcare treatment. It was gnarly. Then I talk a bit about Ivan Illich, a guy who has a pretty robust critique of Modernity and its Institutions; including Education, Healthcare, Tranportation/Infrastructure, and Media/Communication. I then talk about where Illich fails and how he leaves himself open to Reactionary politics, and I offer my suggestion on how to preserve his critique while shifting to an even more structural view and seeing how Capital achieves a Radical Monopoly and is the source of Counterproductivity rather than the Institutions and Tools themselves having some essential manipulative qualities.

In this episode, Mikey and I catch up and shoot the proverbial s**t for a bit, then move into a discussion of Baudrillard's interpretation of Bataille's Accursed Share. We unpack the superegoic dimension of how society manages The Accursed Share, touch on why increasingly sophisticated social coordination will not save us from the impending Apocalypse of The Object, and where Baudrillard and Lacan seem to be talking about the same thing; and why that matters. This was a fun episode to record! I've obviously been a bit absent from the feed for a while, and that will probably remain true for the immediate future, but it's great to have and share conversations like this!

Benjamin Studebaker joins Mikey, The Dangerous Maybe, and I for a conversation about Intelligence. What is Intelligence? Why does the question even matter? What does the reduction of Intelligence to tasks that can be mechanically simulated do to the notion of Freedom? Politics? The Soul? Can this question lead to an emancipatory project? We touch on A LOT in this conversation, Orthogonality, The Turing Test, Neo-/Techno-Feudalism, Benjamin's critique of Nick Land's core thesis (Capitalism IS Artificial Intelligence); and a whole lot more!!! Thanks, Benjamin!! Can't wait for our next convo!!! You can now get a paperback of Benjamin's book, Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies, wherever you get your books!!!

Yo! In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I talk about Backrooms, the film that just hit theatres and seems to have been assembling itself out of disparate bits of online fiction and memes posted on The Chans, Reddit, and Instagram over the last two decades or so. What is it about The Backrooms lore that speaks so loudly to people? We get into Liminality, touch on Phenomenology, consider the Weird and the Eerie, point of the Baudrillard of it all, and more!! Then, we talk about Hyperstition, Hypostition, and Retrostition a bit; and we get into Trump's absurd Aliens.gov affair. Keep your ears peeled and your eyes open for Mikey's book, which will be available SOON! The Hyperstition Zone has A LOT that you're gonna want to read if you enjoyed this conversation! - The Retrostition essay- https://open.substack.com/pub/nanceee/p/travels-along-the-fault-line-1-long?r=1jl6yq&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web Don’t miss out on all the stuff going on at Mikey’s Patreon, YouTube channel, and Substack - https://www.patreon.com/thedangerousmaybe https://youtube.com/@TheDangerousMaybe?si=2btoEcN3ta3Dd-V2 https://substack.com/@thedangerousmaybe Make sure to check out Sean's Substack, he's been droppin' some heat! - https://substack.com/@dukesdoswing Three Billion Nances has a Patreon page now too! https://www.patreon.com/nancee and as always, stay tuned for more!!

In this Solo Dolo Brolo Bellybutton Extravaganza Episode, I invite you all to my fireside chat where we discuss things that've been on my mind of late. I talk about, Consciousness, Geoffrey Hinton and A.I. (of course), I talk about Family Values and Virtue Signaling (and Anti Natalism too!), I indulge in some reflexivity, and then I talk about Diversity as "our greatest strength" and why Contradiction and Negation make that sentiment true. The second half of this episode is better than the first, so you could just skip the first bit. But, also, I might make a reference toward the end that wouldn't make sense if you hadn't heard the first bit, so there's that. But, probably not, I think you'll be alright to maybe just skip this whole episode, now that I think about it; but, then again, the stuff on Hinton and Subjectivity is good, and also the stuff on Diversity. Oh well, whatever. See ya on the next one!!

Then we talk about Intelligence and Functionalism, Alan Turing and Artificial Intelligence, Object Oriented Ontology versus Heidegger, the wisdom and the madness of crowds, and finally a bit about the Whale Acoustic Model and the possibility of super-intelligent communist cetaceans!
