Hello friends!
Re-upping this past episode of AEWCH because I’m starting to reinvestigate these ideas about how environmentalism is flawed at its foundation: nature. Nature is a concept that we must destroy if we ever want to see and engage with our planet.
To express the point, I pull in my pals Patricia Highsmith, Sigmund Freud, Paracelsus, and more.
This episode is becoming part of a larger project called Occult Philosophy Now!, a book and a set of courses and lectures coming your way in 2020. There’s a new intro to the episode, and I hope we see it with new eyes.
IN THIS EPISODE
- Why “nature” is a poorly defined but totally accepted concept.
- Why our main environmental narratives – going green/sustainability, neo-primitivism, deep ecology – depend on the flawed concept of nature.
- “Nature is the word we use for the feeling we have of separation with other aspects of the world.”
- “The concept of nature is the external exhibition of the death drive.”
- Who are we if we’re imaging mass death to “save the planet?”
- Have you ever fought just to feel?
- Erasing the lines between the living and the dead.
- The world is consciousness states, not objects.
- Putting ourselves at the center of the world is the only way to encounter it, much less “save” it.
Lots to investigate more deeply in the SHOW NOTES
