Mary is one of my favorite writers, but I've learned the most from her in matters of feminism, sexuality, and motherhood. We chat about Mary's concept of reactionary feminism - she almost had me applying for my membership card - about LARP-ing and our fractured, multipolar reality; about porn & censorship and the fact that it's high time to reckon with ubiquitous and often abusive forms; about not being sex-positive, and about the ravages of hyper-liberalism. Mary writes primarily for Unherd, and her Twitter feed is an excellent place to find her latest projects @moveincircles.

Pascal joins me from his lead-lined wine cellar via Ham Radio (Radio Jambon in French), so excuse the wild audió. It's partly his incessant smoking and partly my incompetent amplification. We talk about the consulting farms masquerading as College that we both attended, Catholicism, Neoliberalism (as always), weak men, and our love of, and pretty much existence as, Internet Weirdos. Pascal is a fellow at the Ethics & Public Policy Center and writes for all the big name brands in journalism and is NOT the France whisperer, so get that out of your head. You can find him at @pegobry on Twitter. Audio isn't ideal but workable.

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. Audio isn't ideal but workable.

Recently unpersoned Twitter great, Indian Bronson, joins me in a conversation about the realities of being someone with a conservative temperament in a world with no guard rails. We talk about the dying gasps of the Republican Party, Voice vs. Exit, his work facilitating remote work and other exit opportunities, and the state of love & dating in the era of hyper-liberalism. IB is both extremely eloquent and dark-redpilled on the practical matters of navigating life, so definitely worth a listen. You can find IB's latest work on his substack: https://indianbronson.substack.com/ where his latest piece on Exit is an excellent read for anyone with subversive tendencies: https://indianbronson.substack.com/p/decentralize-to-exit His new project is Keeper Dating https://www.keeper.dating You can support Subversive at https://www.patreon.com/aksubversive Any donation is greatly appreciated and makes the podcast possible.

In this episode of the Subversive Podcast, I talk to Gio Pennacchietti, a writer, impressionist painter, and Jungian Traditionalist. He gracefully explains art to me without laughing at my ignorance once and delivers a searing analysis of why we're in the equivalent of aesthetic end times - and why it's not all bad. It's a longer podcast, just because it was incredibly fun.    You can support Subversive at https://www.patreon.com/aksubversive Any donation is greatly appreciated and makes the podcast possible.

On the first episode of the Subversive podcast, I talk to philosopher and rationalist Roko Mijic about where we're heading and how to get there in one piece (maybe). Roko is more of a tech optimist than I am, but he gives me hope.    You can find Roko's latest work on his substack: https://hereticalupdate.substack.com/ And follow Roko on Twitter for continuous doses of subversion:  https://twitter.com/RokoMijicUK Discovery by Scott Buckley https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckleyCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/discovery-scott-buckleyMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/M8ZwIybVy3o
