Our conversation explores the concept of worldviews as self-contained snow globes that represent specific cardinal virtues. We discuss the four common elements of every worldview: what is good, where good and bad come from, who deserves good, and how to do good. The conversation also delves into the challenges of understanding and evaluating different worldviews, the role of in-group signaling, and the importance of understanding other perspectives. We also discuss Valueism as a life philosophy based on intrinsic values and effective action to increase them, the decline of traditional religion, the search for alternative forms of community and meaning, group differences, and the extremes of the distribution, language ambiguity, and imprecision used to hide behind claims and avoid accountability - and much more.

In this episode, we talk about frigid bitches, why Generation Z is definitely not "sex-positive," porn culture, ambiguous sexual norms, #metoo, the rise of BDSM as standard, sex trafficking, the "Aziz Ansari Paradox", the new polygyny in universities and cities and why "consent" is a necessary but not sufficient part of the dating landscape.

I talk to Zero HP Lovecraft about women, men, and the future of dating in the age of acceleration.
We also talk about toxic masculinity, bullying, how he has seen the dark heart of man, signaling, status, pick up artists, his righteous war with the Oatly intern, what "radicalized" him, and why incels won't get to have a Marxist class revolution.

I talk with Patrick Deneen about why Liberalism failed, about the frictionless society, being alone, technology and supernormal stimuli, why Libertarianism failed and keeps failing, the problems of scale, the West strip-mining the world for intelligence, fertility traps, and much more.
We also cover what could come next, which will be the topic of Prof. Deneen's next book.
Patrick Deneen is a Professor of Political Science at Notre Dame and the author of "Why Liberalism Failed."

I talk with national security and political warfare expert David Reaboi about the way the media shapes narratives, the wrong lessons learned from the cold war, the fact that universal values are a spook, about credentialism, and building new institutions.

David's new book, "Qatar's Shadow War" will be out soon as well.

I've talked to the extremely erudite and prolific Twitter poster, Yeerk.P
We talk about reeducation with "facts", the nature of truth, freedom, individuality as a consumption pattern, sex as a social construct, family bonds, the problem with scale, expressing emotions, and using inner states as political tools.

Default Friend is a writer, cultural commentator, tech familiar, and, coincidentally, a friend.
We talk about the future of tech and tech optimism under the dark cloud of a year of skepticism about technocratic forces at work in our world. We also chat about dating, sex work, Mormons, wine aunts, simps & incels.
A fun conversation with a very smart lady.

This is a cozy podcast in the wake of the Capitol riots, featuring the formidable poaster also known as Kashiwagi @kwamurai.
We talk about the Capitol riots as a reason for optimism and/or sheer terror, marketing memes, the influence of the fringes, face-posting vs. being anonymous & how things could shift with the rise of a new counter-elite.
I'm being interviewed just as much in this one - I tell the story of my time at Vice, the monoculture of Tech, ethnic tensions in Romania, and how we stumbled onto the darkness of fringe politics.

Mary is one of my favorite writers, but I've learned the most from her in matters of feminism, sexuality, and motherhood.
We chat about Mary's concept of reactionary feminism - she almost had me applying for my membership card - about LARP-ing and our fractured, multipolar reality; about porn & censorship and the fact that it's high time to reckon with ubiquitous and often abusive forms; about not being sex-positive, and about the ravages of hyper-liberalism.
Mary writes primarily for Unherd, and her Twitter feed is an excellent place to find her latest projects @moveincircles.

Pascal joins me from his lead-lined wine cellar via Ham Radio (Radio Jambon in French), so excuse the wild audió. It's partly his incessant smoking and partly my incompetent amplification.
We talk about the consulting farms masquerading as College that we both attended, Catholicism, Neoliberalism (as always), weak men, and our love of, and pretty much existence as, Internet Weirdos.
Pascal is a fellow at the Ethics & Public Policy Center and writes for all the big name brands in journalism and is NOT the France whisperer, so get that out of your head.
You can find him at @pegobry on Twitter.

Geoff Shullenberger is a senior lecturer at NYU, a self-described marginal academic, and one of the most incisive analysts of the current moment that I've yet to chat to. We discuss his analysis of Postmodernism in the context of the now-famous release of "Cynical Theories" by Lindsay/Pluckrose, the rediscovery of Christopher Lasch & Rene Girard, and how power is flexing its beefy managerial apparatus in this time of emergency.
We also cover the recent Mark Crispin Miller thought crime scandal at NYU, where Geoff lectures as well.

Recently unpersoned Twitter great, Indian Bronson, joins me in a conversation about the realities of being someone with a conservative temperament in a world with no guard rails.
We talk about the dying gasps of the Republican Party, Voice vs. Exit, his work facilitating remote work and other exit opportunities, and the state of love & dating in the era of hyper-liberalism. IB is both extremely eloquent and dark-redpilled on the practical matters of navigating life, so definitely worth a listen.
You can find IB's latest work on his substack: https://indianbronson.substack.com/ where his latest piece on Exit is an excellent read for anyone with subversive tendencies: https://indianbronson.substack.com/p/decentralize-to-exit

In this episode of the Subversive Podcast, I talk to Gio Pennacchietti, a writer, impressionist painter, and Jungian Traditionalist. He gracefully explains art to me without laughing at my ignorance once and delivers a searing analysis of why we're in the equivalent of aesthetic end times - and why it's not all bad. It's a longer podcast, just because it was incredibly fun.

On the first episode of the Subversive podcast, I talk to philosopher and rationalist Roko Mijic about where we're heading and how to get there in one piece (maybe). Roko is more of a tech optimist than I am, but he gives me hope.
