Episode 100

The eighth and final episode in a series with Gyrus which sprawls across a variety of topics in anthropology, cosmology, cognitive science and recent political developments. We wind things down with a discussion of a philosophical/political position known as "accelerationism" (basically the idea that things have to be intentionally made worse before they can get better) and the associated work of philosopher Nick Land and so-called "cyberfeminist" Sadie Plant, formerly of Warwick University's 1990s Cybernetic Culture Research Unit.
