In this episode I start off talking about how basketball has changed from the early 80s to today, and then branch off into a lot of other stuff

In this episode of the Daily Dialectic, I talk about the Boston Celtics, Elon Musk buying Twitter, and the significance of the recent French presidential election.

In this episode I talk about a new article in Vanity Fair which promotes the idea of a “dissident populist new right.” I talk about why this movement is not dissident, new, or populist…

In this episode I talk about the new movie from Paul Thomas Anderson, Licorice Pizza…and other things…

In this episode I discuss Will Smith slapping Chris rock, the ongoing war in Europe, and some other stuff.

I am back, talking about the year that is about to end. I talk about lots of things like Covid World, Ghislaine Maxwell, Spider-Man, Biden, Trump, VICE propaganda, love, Elvis, hopelessness, the Great Resignation, MasterClass, Amazon, strikes, and more.

I interviewed Mike Watt (the bass player of The Minutemen, among many other things) about history, revisionism, 70s culture, 90s culture; his career in music; the influence of Walt Whitman and James Joyce, and a lot more.

In this episode, I am joined for a third time by artist Tai Lee. We talk about a wide range of topics: how revolutionary artists should use the void creatively; how bourgeois artists use nothingness to serve the status quo, rather than subvert it; how artists should use surfaces, rather than depths; the fake radicalism of liberal feminism; the dialectical homofascism of baseball; and more.

In this episode, I cover a range of topics: the dialectics of black iced coffee; Mexican Independence Day; the ideological function of AOC's fake “populism”; and a bit about Australia and China.

In this episode, I start off by answering some listener questions about random topics, like the cultural and economic politics of fast food, why The Matrix movies suck, 90s nostalgia, and why car society is bad. Then I move onto a longer discussion about the significance of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, how the world changed, its impact on culture, and how it’s happening again with Covid World.
