Sweeny vs Bard

Our latest discussion with Thomas Hamelryck, in which Alexander introduces his concept: The Anoject - a neologism he invented which means, roughly speaking, the anonymous accuser.  We expand on this subject but also speak about the messiah, the martyr and the saint,, fields of potential beyond spacetime, quantum organics, the 3 kayas of buddhism, the death of celebrity culture, higher and lover gods, heresy, crazy wisdom, and Antagony—among other thing.    Thomas Hamelryck is a scientist who uses AI to solve problems in bioinformatics and molecular biology. For philosophical and religious questions, he turns to the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead, the mimetic theory and Christian theology of Rene Girard, the Dionysian philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and the practices of Sutric and Tantric Buddhism.

A long awaited conversation between my favorite interlocutors, and two philosophical and visionary geniuses of our time—who, as I mention in the beginning—are opposite character types.  Nevertheless, both men converge on certain views.  Alexander is an aggressive provocateur with an amazing palate of ideas (the Camille Paglia of Sweden), and John is outrageously humble Canadian professor with an equally ambitious project. Alexander lays out his religious history of the silk route triad, talks about Zoroastrianism, Heraclates, and the monist world view.  John speaks about the monism of Plotinus and defends neo-platonism.  We speak about the meaning of pathos, mythos, and logos—and the pathic nature of art.  And so much much more. John Vervaeke is a professor at the University of Toronto and the creator of the popular online YouTube Series ‘Awakening from The Meaning Crisis’, which is a rich feast of cognitive science, philosophy, religion, and the history of ideas.  What makes Vervaeke special in my opinion is the breadth of his work, but his courage descend the ivory tower and talk to people ‘on the street’—and to exemplify his ideas.  His hero is Socrates, and he embodies the living dialogue and courage that Socrates represents.

How did an obscure esoteric school begun by the French writer and sufi René Guénon and his fascist disciple Julius Evola at the beginning of the 20th begin to influence geopolitics, and especially the works of Steve Bannon, Alexander Dugin, and Olavo de Carvalho?  We discuss this with Benjamin R Teitelbaum, author of a great new page turner called “War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers.”  And we go into depth, especially about Steven Bannon and the alt right who Benjamin has interviewed a lot, and this complex figure especially with reference to his traditionalism, his fatalistic view of the Kali Yuga, and what the neo traditionalists are up to precisely.  An important and misunderstood topic.
