Seeking the Hidden Thing Podcast

Dr. Lancellotti has dedicated himself to translating the works of Italian philosopher Augusto del Noce into English. He was gracious enough to join me for the Ghetto's first guest appearance.Long time readers of this Substack will know that I reference del Noce frequently. For those unfamiliar with Augusto del Noce, I would encourage you not just to listen to this interview, but go back and read my Del Noce pieces which all should be tagged “Augusto del Noce.” If you are looking to read him yourself, begin with The Crisis of Modernity as this is the most accessible of the three works. None of them are easy reads, but will reward a patient and close reading.You can follow Dr. Lancellotti on Twitter, and I recommend that you do: @_CLancellottiBumper Music: Gregorian Chant Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ This is a public episode.

Men today are lost because the technological and administrative world in which they find themselves gives them no markers to tell them they are men. In fact, to survive, they must become like women.Written Version: https://www.seekingthehiddenthing.com/p/boys-will-be-boys-facing-the-contestBumper Music: Stream Countdown 10s by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ This is a public episode.

It takes little work to demonstrate that men are in trouble. The very idea of the "incel" cries out that something is wrong. To help understand this idea of "man" I turn to the writing of Walter Ong.Written Version: https://www.seekingthehiddenthing.com/p/what-is-a-man-introducing-the-idea Bumper Music: Stream Countdown 10s by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ This is a public episode.

Anyone with a plan or a set of policies that will "fix" things is lying to themselves and to you.

We live in a mass society where people have been shorn of their connections to each other and to the past, even to themselves in favour of absolute personal autonomy.

This term, "re-enchantment" is starting to enter the lexicon of right wing discussion. We should resist this. I am not sure I have a better one, but this label works for the machine, not against it.Written Version: https://www.seekingthehiddenthing.com/p/why-i-hate-the-term-re-enchantmentBumper Music: Stream Countdown 10s by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ This is a public episode.
