We have a new episode out with @schuringa.bsky.social on the politics of analytic philosophy. Want to know how and why analytic philosophy framed itself as apolitical even as it was bankrolled by the CIA and the RAND corporation? Listen to our conversation, out now wherever you podcast.

Had a great time talking with Muftah for their new podcast series. Discussing the role of policing "superstition" and the secular, the history of magic-religion-science, my more recent work on critical history. If that sounds like your kind of thing, give it a listen: www.muftah.org/p/superstiti...

The grand narratives of modernity and the critical insights of postmodern thought seem to be discordantly converging. On the cusp of new unknowns, unfamiliar questions emerge that a familiar world can't answer.

Protean View emerged in response––to probe the metamodern.
