This week’s episode of the Zero Books podcast features a conversation with Professor Pete Bohmer from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.

This year a call went out asking white people to leave. Brett Weinstein felt that this call abandoned a core principle of racial equality, namely that people should not be barred from participation in campus life based on the color of their skin.

This video features an interview with Fabian Scheidler on the ideas in his upcoming book "The End of the Megamachine." The entirety of this interview is available as an audio "Zero Squared" podcast.
The book provides a uniquely comprehensive picture of the roots of the destructive forces that are threatening the future of humankind today. Spanning 5000 years of history, the book shows how the three tyrannies of militarized states, capital accumulation and ideological power have been steering both ecosystems and societies to the brink of collapse. With the growing instability of the Megamachine in the 21st century, new dangers open up as well as new possibilities for systemic change, to which everyone can contribute.

The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Ben Burgis recounts his twitter encounter with the reactionary race realist youtuber and “logic” bros Stefan Molyneux. It turns out that Molyneux doesn’t know the difference between a sound and a valid argument, but he’s also unwilling to be corrected. Molyneux’s blocking Burgis on twitter and his subsequent subtweeting was “not an argument.”

This month on Gaming Materialists we are joined by Discourse from Discourse Miniatures to discuss the world’s biggest TableTop Miniature Company, Games Workshop. In recent years, TableTop miniature wargames have exploded in popularity, a tendency that was only accelerated by the COVID crisis. However, Games Workshop has also come under heavy criticism from within the gaming community for its exploitative business practices. What kinds of exploitive tactics does Games Workshop use? How does this affect the community? And in what ways does the quest for profit shaped the development of the games?
