Welcome to the second instalment of the Essence of Anarchy series. In this episode we will examine the concept of property. What does it mean to say somebody owns something? How does ownership come about? And how can something that is owned change hands?

Understanding Afghanistan, with Adam Fitzgerald
Sunday Sep 12, 2021
Sunday Sep 12, 2021
Adam Fitzgerald of The Darkened Hour Podcast joins me to make sense of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Was it really about capturing Bin Laden and making the world safe from terrorism? Were oil and gas pipelines and narco-trafficing deeper reasons for the war? If so, has it been a colossal failure for the U.S. Empire? And what becomes of the Empire now?

Contemplating Conspiracy 1. To Entrench or Engage?
Thursday Sep 09, 2021
Thursday Sep 09, 2021
I am therefore suggesting a kind of philosophising about conspiracy theory. Taking the ideas seriously—if not always literally—and respecting their proponents enough to not write them off with cheap psychological dismissals.

The Essence of Anarchy 1. Introducing Anarchy
Monday Sep 06, 2021
Monday Sep 06, 2021
‘Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos.’ - The Joker
Welcome to this series of articles exploring the philosophy of anarchism; and, as the title suggests, boiling it down to its very essence. Does anarchy imply chaos and disorder? Or does it in fact lead to a far greater state of societal harmony than we currently experience? These are the questions we’ll be getting into.

Alien Encounters, Trauma and Spiritual Growth - with Marci Peterson
Wednesday Oct 21, 2020
Wednesday Oct 21, 2020
Marci Peterson has a fascinating story of overcoming trauma through a psycho-spiritual journey ultimately involving a near death experience. Throughout her life, Marci has had profound encounters with a non-human intelligence, presenting itself as alien beings, who have acted as teachers for her.
In this interview I ask Marci all sorts of questions in an attempt to understand better this strangest of human experiences. We consider everything from a very literal interpretation, to a symbolic/mythic one, as well as questioning the reliability of hypnosis and memory.
Marci has a book coming out next year titled: Believe - There's More

Back to the Future, Myth, Meaning (and even 9/11) - with Daniel Luxton
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Monday Mar 23, 2020
'What the hell does 9/11 have to do with deep spirituality?' That's the question Alex Tsakiris posed at the end of our conversation on the Skeptiko podcast. Taking up the challenge is today's guest, Daniel Luxton, who contacted me with his answer. You wouldn't guess, but it has a lot to do with the Back to the Future films. In this interview Daniel talks about the myth and meaning of these wonderful films and whether they really predicted future events.

The Darkened Hour Inaugural Episode Clip
Wednesday Feb 19, 2020
Wednesday Feb 19, 2020
Adam Fitzgerald and I have concluded our Roads to 9/11 series on this channel and Adam has started a new channel dedicated solely to 9/11 studies - on which I am assisting.
This is a clip from the opening episode, where Adam asks me how I became interested 9/11 myself. I talk about my loss of faith in the establishment, interest in imperialism, 9/11 conspiracy theory and how studying philosophy helped me navigate these choppy waters.

Elaine Thorpe is a trance medium who channels the spirit of Jonathan Hunter, a Victorian gentleman who lived from 1845-91. In this interview I ask Elaine about her journey to become a medium. Elaine then goes into trance and I speak directly to Jonathan, asking him about both his life in 19th century London as well as his existence now.
