That free spirit keeps on moving Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

This week, we're exploring Marguerite Porete a bit further with Simon Critchley's book Faith of the Faithless.

The Movement of the Free Spirit Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

With the recent passing of Raoul Vaneigem, we're spending this episode talking about his book the Movement of the Free Spirit. It's a weird book about a heretical trend in medieval Christianity that pointed people toward freedom rather than repression. But, to be honest, it's a pretty mixed bag!

Check out the book over here on Archive.org

Life is useless Jul 22, 2026

Show notes

In a world where the IMF has said the entire stock of whales are worth 1 trillion dollars and biological offsets equivocate one threatened environment for another, Christianity can help us think of life as worthless and beyond value altogether.

We've got a new episode where we're talking about the valuation of life and how we can reframe the way we think about value altogether. To get there, we're chatting through a big philosophical idea about the valuation of life and ecology. In the episode we talk about Marika Rose's Theology for the End of the World, Phillippe Maia's Trading Future, and a bunch of other weird philosophy guys.
