In this episode, the hosts discuss non-human sexes, pre-capitalist political economy, class struggle, and more. They explore the benefits of starting with the final chapter, the significance of syntheses and the stakes of schizoanalysis, the connection between political economy and filial alliances, the concept of the signifying chain, the relationship between Christianity, capitalism, and the motley image, the parallels between capitalist exploitation and the creation of a bride by Frankenstein, the revolutionary potential of art and science, the concept of non-human sex and its connection to human sexuality, and the challenge of dealing with difference and incorporating mortality.

Michael Hardt joined Coop and Taylor for a look at his work with a focus on an article from he and Toni Negri titled, Empire, 20 Years On. We look back at some of the arguments made in the text and discuss a bit about Michael's experience collaborating with Negri.
