The return of philosopher Alexander Bard in dialogue on power, time, attention and AI in the liminal period associable to Capitalism and ‘Attentionalism’.
This continues threads from the conversation ‘Where are we in history?’ in which the notions of paradigmatics, membranics, and archetypology framed how we might approach an understanding of the social and technological changes taking place today. See E146.
