Michael Downs

In this discussion, Michael Downs, a working-class autodidact philosopher and author of "Capital VS Timenergy," dives deep into the provocative ideas of Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin. He unpacks right-wing accelerationism and examines the concept of 'timeenergy' as a potential foundation for socialism. The conversation also touches on automation's impact on labor, contrasting capitalist ideals with the push for meaningful work, while engaging in a thought-provoking critique of contemporary philosophical landscapes, including the dynamics of ideology and reality.
