Mike Crumplar, aka Mike the Situationist (@mcrumps), is one of many strange people who have entered my internet orbit in recent months. I can't tell you much about him because I can't understand or remember anything about anyone I interact with on the internet, but in this video chat I will hopefully learn more about him. He recently wrote an essay in the online magazine Jacobite (the less progressive sister publication of Jacobin magazine), about Bronze Age Pervert. That will be the initial, nominal pretext for our conversation. Where it goes from there, only time will tell.
Mike Crumplar's website is https://mcrumps.com

James Poulos is a Tocqueville scholar who wrote The Art of Being Free (2017) and Human Forever (2021). He was a co-founder of The American Mind and his latest project is a magazine called Return. We discuss humanism and post-humanism, the merging of Big Tech and Woke Capital into an atheist cyborg theocracy, why James rejects accelerationism, the importance of human memory, Bitcoin, Urbit, and much more.

Tonight I have a little spiel on the dynamics of Trump's approval ratings. Then I'll be joined by JG Michael, who writes about theory, mythology, and horror, among other things. Also we share strong interests in Theodor Adorno. JG's podcast is Parallax Views (https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/). He recently had me on there so I wanted to have him on here.
