This week, The Gang welcomes Amir from the fantastic marxist science blog Cold and Dark Stars to discuss prospects for a new marxist philosophy of science, popularization of scientific socialism, and a better version of the old "decadence of capitalism" thesis. The posts we have in mind are "The Decline of Science, the Decline of Capitalism", "Ergodicity as the Solution for the Decline of Science", and "Crisis Theory" from http://colddarkstars.wordpress.com Help us uphold the immortal science! patreon.com/colddarkstars patreon.com/swampsidechats paypal.me/swampsidechats
