About this video essay: We've all felt it: the movies have changed. But how so exactly, and why? And what can be done about it? In this extensive critique, I try to capture the decline of modern cinema in one unifying theory.

This write-up re-introduces the concept of entropy from different perspectives with a focus on its importance in machine learning, probabilistic programming, and information theory.

Peli Grietzer is a philosopher of literature who received his PhD from Harvard University in 2017. His dissertation used machine learning theory to study forms of ambient meaning, like moods and vibes, in modernist and avant-garde aesthetics.

Across the foliated space of the twenty-seven equivalents, Faustroll conjured up into the third dimension: From Baudelaire, E. A. Poe’s Silence, taking care to retranslate Baudelaire’s translation into Greek.

The figure of 'The Edgelord' has been gaining traction in recent years. But I haven't read anything directed specifically at (theorising) this phenomena. Do you have any recommendations? Books, essays, YouTube polemics, podcasts etc. are all very welcome. OR The Edgelord's perceived relation to other concepts, frameworks, cultures, or pop notions.

Isaac Newton apocryphally discovered his second law – the one about gravity – after an apple fell on his head. Much experimentation and data analysis later, he realised there was a fundamental relationship between force, mass and acceleration.

Horror movies played a huge role in my life and horror classics such as "The Shining," "The Exorcist," and "The Thing." are and likely always will be some of my favorite films of all time. But the horror genre has changed drastically. The plots are formulaic, remakes and reboots are the norm and the scares are dried up.

I'll always be a fan of horror movies, but if you are looking for some severe scares this Halloween, consider checking out a non-horror. A BBC produced Docu-drama from 1984 called, "Threads."

The most realistic and gruesome depiction of nuclear war and the price to be paid afterward are on full display in "Threads." (1984) And there are no shortages of terrifying scares.

With "Threads," (1984) if you know, you know. If you don't know and are on the hunt for scares and a shock to your system, look no further than "Threads" (1984)

What is the role of critical theory today and who is it for? What kind of maps can theory provide in the context of entrenched capitalist crisis? These are some of the questions posed by this seminar series. 

The computational theory of mind (CTM) is the theory that the mind is a computation (calculation) done by the brain. That is, the mind works by rule-based manipulation of symbols, which is what a computer does — computation. Thus our mental states are computational states.

Holly Buck joins me to discuss her new book, After Geoengineering: Climate Tragedy, Repair, and Restoration. We talked about why we may have little choice but to undertake geoengineering to avert the worst of the climate crisis. We also discussed the question of whether climate change is innately difficult for human beings to comprehend, and whether avoiding the worst effects of climate change will entail moving beyond capitalism.

Human evolution was messy, with multiple human species living and interbreeding at the same time, in a convoluted process that eventually led to us. Such is the emerging narrative in anthropology, and it’s a theory now bolstered by three fascinating new studies.

What even is theory-fiction? In short, it is the intersection of theory and fiction, and also the “dissolution of the opposition itself” (Fisher 1999, p 156).
