Here are ten questions I took up from my subscribers during last week’s livestream session at thinkspot:
1. “What are the three most related and worrisome things that have happened since writing, Explaining Postmodernism?
2. “What are your thoughts on Nassim Taleb’s notion that democratic socialism is most effective at the local scale?”
3. “What did Nietzsche think of the ‘new world’ or the United States in particular?”
4. “Are you aware of anyone who is addressing the effects of postmodernism on education?”
5. “Can you talk a bit about the relationship between post-modernism and fine art?”
6. “Did Ayn Rand ever comment on or write about Jung, particularly his concepts of the collective unconscious?”
7. “To what extent do you think the work of Friedrich Nietzsche was misconstrued to elevate a post-modern movement/philosophy?”
8. “What books would you recommend that have largely shaped the way that you think that you do not believe has received enough public attention?”
9. “Is Heidegger’s one-time Nazi fraternizing something that must be included in our analysis of his work?”
10. “At what age did you really begin to embrace philosophy and devote your career to it?”
Each month I’ll be doing one livestream lecture and one livestream q&a session at thinkspot.
