The audience seems to be invited to try and develop a position that somehow integrates both and overcomes their deficiencies — *dialectic klaxon* —which is... literally what the book I've been working on is about (called Red Enlightenment: On Socialism, Science and Spirituality). Also they're both very likeable and intelligent people while also being kind of ridiculous and annoying, which is how I'd like to be remembered.

On the question of 'should we combat fascism with love or with violence?' my answer is: 'both'

An interview I did with the Acid Horizon philosophy podcast a while back about my Red Enlightenment book (coming soon)
Touches on topics like how spirituality can play a part in social movement building, Deleuzian ontology and Spinozist ethics, the use and misuse of science, capitalist mindfulness, and 'religious experience' in everyday life.

"...[W]hat counts as catastrophic is scale-relative. The fizzing in my glass of cola does not appear significant from the scale of world history, but on a chemical level it is active and transformative, not merely actualising a potential but irreversibly changing the potentials of the liquid as a whole. Rather than privileging “the event” as a special moment, therefore, we can see all of reality as constructed of events on different scales."

Might just start tweeting out random quotes from my next book when I get bored. I'll tag them #RedEnlightenment cos that's what it's called
