What's Left of Philosophy? [podcast]

also funny without trying to be, which is just great entertainment-value (the hidden, 4th type of value)

below i'll link their first episode which engages w Althusser.

on Socialist Planning: engages with planning as thought of by “People’s republic of Walmart” etx, and puts it in context of Mises and Hayek’s challenge, coming out the other side with something beyond either

A Theory of Vibe, by Peli Grietzer — Glass Bead

Exactly what it says on the tin. Tries to develope a theory of 'vibe'/'style' by thinking of humans as bio-autoencoders. a starting point that provides a vocabulary to talk about this stuff.
