is back once again! This time we’re joined by a prestigious friend, Todd McGowan!! Todd doesn’t appreciate it when people go on about just how impactful he is/has been on contemporary Theory and Philosophy, so I won’t—but I will say that I respect and look up to Todd more than just about anybody else.
This conversation is a continuation of what Mikey and I have been talking about, and also follows on from one of Todd’s recent Why Theory? episodes with Ryan Engley—another awesome guy you should get to know if you don’t already!
Todd lofts a very powerful Hegelian interpretation of Intelligence, tells us why all the current Girard hype might be a bit mistaken, and opines on Freedom, Utility, Finitude, Creativity, and Subjectivity.
This one was a blast! Looking forward to the next one!! Thank you!!!
p.s. shoutout to
for insightfully pushing back against the LLM’s preposterous claims of Mastery! There’s a lot going on there, and it’s correct to be suspicious of the Machine!!
