Ep. 16: Is BLR Reactionary?

Reading excerpts from thinker and philosopher Eugene Thacker's latest work, "Infinite Resignation." Thacker is a professor at the New School in NYC, and in his essay "On Pessimism" is composed of aphorisms / fragments which explore the concept. You can purchase the book here: https://tinyurl.com/y6d6k2wz I also share some thoughts about how the perspective of pessimism relates to Beyond Left & Right (BLR) philosophy. Intro/Outro song is my own composition, except for the drum track, which comes from https://www.drumdrops.com/. Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/becomeother
