Post-Orthodoxy

S3:E5 - Mark French, The Economy, & The Children

Long-time friend of the show and all around fascinating being. Our experience of Mark has been someone who's passionate about cooking, nurturing the environment and people, and tackling big projects boldly!
 
I asked Mark to introduce himself:
"I have spent years in finance and banking and real estate development, and have an intricate knowledge of what these activities end up looking like in practice. At a certain point in my career it became obvious the corporate world wasn't right for me personally, and I preferred to live my life for a living. So I choose to spend the rest of my days building pretty spaces that everyone can use, and feeding them really good food if they want it or need it, while they are there."
 
“An Outpost in the Borderlands,” Post-Orthodoxy explores the liminal spaces around changing our minds, and blazes trails into the wilds of what’s possible. Dark and Ainsley Sevier bring their experience as escapees from religious cults to diagnose cultish behaviors in society at large, and to share experiences with other social extremophiles.

S3:E4 - Evno Omni

"DJ eOmni, Evno, or 'that guy over there'... has spent the last 20 years observing the human condition from the fringes of the social narrative. Having obtained a PhD, thus making him un-employable by traditional standards, his main claim is that the best way to fight the suffering (dukkha), the malaise of modern life, is to create joy as much as possible - through art, music, and shared experience. Current exercises in fear, control, and separation of community seem directly focused on limiting that time of beneficial interaction. Evno has spent his life questioning everything, and encouraging others to do the same, while attempting to foster communications and community around authenticity- through teaching, radio, sacred circles, and mixed media events."

S3:E3 - Tone Connors, Art & Politics

Let’s talk about ART, baybee . . . What is the place of art in modern culture? What is the place of modern culture in art? Some say art is the enemy of the State. What does the State have to say? In this conversation with Tone Connors, we also shared stories of first cars, pet peeves, and the hemispheres of the brain.

S3:E2 - Fabio Vighi & Global Economics

Professor Fabio Vighi teaches Critical Theory and Film at Cardiff University, UK.
 
Among his recent books are "Unworkable: Delusions of an Imploding Civilisation" (SUNY press, 2022) and "Critical Theory and the Crisis of Contemporary Capitalism" (Bloomsbury 2015, with Heiko Feldner). He has written extensively on the interconnections between the pandemic and the global economy.
 
"My current research projects tackle capitalist crisis from a psychoanalytic perspective, focusing on Jacques Lacan's notion of discourse as social bond."

S3:E1 - Welcome Back

What do we have in store for each other in the new year? Dark and Ainsley are still out to have a better time, with more people, more often, and we seek to achieve that through cognitive sovereignty tools, introduction of reasonable doubt, trauma awareness, and post-orthodox thinking. Thank you for joining the conversation.

S2:E38 - Making a List, Checking It Twice

Join in our last scheduled conversation of 2021! It's time to review what we've learned, and make plans for the new year. We meander through various subjects over a few chill hours.

S2:E37 - The Code Is More Like Guidelines Than Actual Rules

Don't worry, if you don't want to wonder whether the COVID treatments are causing heart problems, you don't have to! There are plenty of other explanations on the table: marijuana is causing heart problems, climate chaos is causing heart problems, childhood freedoms are causing heart problems, etc. No need to look at the monster in the corner of your eye if you don't want to.

S2:E36 - Cutting Our Losses

It's a fact universally acknowledged that it is very difficult to stop gambling while you're down. Surely if you just played a little longer, you could recoup your losses. It is also very difficult to leave an unhealthy relationship, because then you'd have to face all the years you "wasted." We encounter this struggle with our belief systems and information as well. Post-Orthodoxy is about cognitive liberty and cognitive sovereignty. Are you able to change your mind when faced with new information?
