Geoff Shullenberger - The Spectre of Postmodernism, the return of Lasch and COVID Flexing of Power

Jan 20, 2021
01:33:16

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.
