Other Life

"Today, inappropriate honesty is not merely feasible, increasingly it is a dominant strategy.” I discuss the concept of parrhesia, its history, and its present political prospects. Thanks to Nina Power and DC Miller for the invitation. Big thanks to all the patrons who help me keep the lights on. If you'd like to discuss this podcast with me and others, suggest future guests, or read/watch/listen to more content on these themes, request an invitation here.
