    BatailleMaxxxing | The Accursed Share pt 6

    Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and Sean No Future are here again! This is the sixth installment in our series of reading through and discussing The Accursed Share. Georges Bataille was a weird little French guy writing weird fiction, erotic poetry, and doing all types of ill s**t. Then, he witnessed the world wars, the rise of Fascism, and the Total Mechanization of Earth and those who call it home; so, he set out to do something about it. That something? Write a book about "political economy" that forces a Copernican shift and brings the man out from behind the curtain - that "man" being the deep structure we know as Capital, and that curtain the prevailing Ideology, or Narrative, that leads us all to believe that we are in fact the ones calling the shots. Bataille is essential for understanding Modernity, both for grappling with this otherworldly monster that intends to use up all our resources and convert us all into computronium; and for developing a ubiquitous "recognition" that we are all, in fact, Humans (whatever that means), and that we must give up this false belief in Capitalism and start managing our General Resources in a Social fashion, lest we blow ourselves up and leave the dolphins and octopuses to inherit our ruins.

    The Nietzsche Episode! | Reading a bit from Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals

    In this episode, Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and I read and discuss a bit of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals - specifically, the final two sections of the second essay. Neither of us are big Nietzsche guys (I can never even spell it properly!), which some might find odd seeing how many of our "favourite guys,' are, indeed, Nietzsche guys themselves. This bit about the "Cost of Revolution," is dope; and it's not him whining and whinging like when he thought some anarchists burned down the Louvre, it's an actual interrogation of the very cost of being "Human" as opposed to being a nihilistic cog in a wheel Check out ⁨@TheDangerousMaybe⁩ on YouTube, Substack and Patreon! - https://youtube.com/@thedangerousmaybe?si=p4gTjzE0os7F3dHR https://substack.com/@thedangerousmaybe https://patreon.com/thedangerousmaybe Check out Three Billion Nances on YouTube, Substack and Patreon! https://youtube.com/@threebillionnances?si=ao3RTz9nL9Zu01x9 https://substack.com/@nanceeehttps://patreon.com/nancee This is a public episode.

    Ghosts, Numbers, and Death? Philo-Bros Brodown for a couple hours!

    Mikey The Dangerous Maybe and Sean No Future are here for a Brodown At High Noon! This special episode was extremely fun! We talked about all kinds of stuff, from the difference between Anxiety and Fear and why people often prefer Fear to Anxiety (read my recent Substack piece on The King in Yellow for some more on this); to the ontological status of Number; we disagree about Kant, Hegel, and Slavoj Žižek; we talk about Ghosts and Hallucinations and sleep paralysis demons; and other wild and wacky stuff, too!!! Also, read my new short story, The Cup of Coffee at the Center of the Universe! - https://nanceee.substack.com/p/the-cup-of-coffee-at-the-center-of?r=1jl6yq There is a Snyder cut of this episode available on my Patreon page.
