Nikos Sotirakopoulos and Ashley Frawley join Doug in this special, mostly unedited, episode of the Zero Squared podcast. This was recorded on the fly as a way to have a quick conversation about the Zizek vs. Peterson debate and, as a way to continue the debate. Nikos is a committed Randian while Ashley Frawley and Doug are both Marxists.

This video uses the NBC television program The Good Place and the Netflix Original Series Queer Eye in order to demonstrate the limitations of intersectionality, not as a way to understand the consequences of various oppressions within this society, but as the theoretical foundation for an emancipatory politics.

Zero Books Manifesto:
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.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.

Acid Horizon hosts Bernard Harcourt, a distinguished critical theorist, legal advocate, and prolific writer and editor. Bernard joins the cast to discuss the legacy of Foucault's work, its emergence within its historical milieu, and the practical implications it offers. Bernard also offers a concise explanation of what is meant by Foucault's genealogical method and how we can best understand the normative aspects implicit in Foucault research.

Leo Cookman's Time’s Lie analyses the history, the science and the philosophy behind the creation of linear stories, or ‘Narrativisation’ as this book dubs it. In this video he explores the linear stories we've told about pandemics. Douglas Lain provided the narration for Cookman's essay.

This video is an attempt to tackle the question “Is Life Worth Living?” However, it ends up answering a different question, namely, “What sort of cultural/psychological structures must be either held onto or created if life is going to be meaningful?”
Excerpts from Eugene Thacker’s In The Dust of This Planet and Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism are featured. Thacker’s work is perhaps misread, but in what I hope is a creative and constructive way. There is an attempt to turn his pessimism inside out.

Many leftists today know the name of the Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta, but few know much about him. In this conversation, one of the foremost scholars on his life and ideas, Davide Turcato, discusses Malatesta’s activities during his long London exile from 1900-1913, his revolutionary theory of the armed strike, and his complicated relation to the Marxism of the second international.
