The Problem of Binary Thinking and Its Consequences
The speakers discuss the problem of binary thinking and its consequences, highlighting how misreadings and misinterpretations of philosophical texts can lead to the adoption of a victim-oppressor binary. They critique the tendency to present power structures like patriarchy and capitalism as binary choices, arguing that this perpetuates the binary itself. They advocate for productive forms of power that allow for new subjectivities and modes of life.
