サマリー
あらすじ・解説
This episode of Breaking the Fever features a podcast takeover by interdisciplinary researcher Nithya Iyer, who has been investigating existential risks and systemic change. The theme of the takeover is AFTERMATH, which starts from a fictional aftermath of systemic and ideological collapse, and seeks to interview thinkers acting at the apex of present and future technologies, mainstream and alternative philosophies, factual and fictional realities, asking: where do we go from here?
In this takeover finale, we feature Timothy Morton - a prolific writer, philosopher and interdisciplinary thinker. Tim has carved out a celebrity status through their pioneering ecological thought and the conception of the 'hyperobject' - a tool for thinking about the vastness of existential threats. We discuss what it means to live in a world where the individual is helplessly entangled in existential threats and the narrative of the 'End of the World', how to make sense out of the chaotic dismantling of meaning in 2021, 'panicking cheerfully' and the George Harrison method of trying to change stubborn minds.
