Contemplating Conspiracy: Part 3 - Pulling Down and Propping up the Tower

Conspiracy theories can be a lightning bolt, bringing devastation to our unquestioned world-views. The fires they set off can reduce all we thought we knew to ash, requiring us to rebuild in some new fashion, hopefully with a more solid foundation.

The Essence of Anarchy 3. What’s so Good about Consent?

Welcome to the third instalment of the Essence of Anarchy series. In this episode we’ll be asking whether we should take consent as a foundational good, requiring no further justification? Some of you may answer ‘yes’—and think such a thing is self-evident. Others may not be convinced, seeing this position as idealistic. We must acknowledge that such a belief in consent is clearly far from universal. History is replete with people who—believing they have found the one right way to live—see all that remains as being to impose that way on everybody else, consent not being required.

On Understanding Consciousness

'There are indeed multiple non-scientific ways in which we can probe consciousness. A comprehensive understanding may require fundamental changes in perspective. That which is obvious from one perspective may make no sense from another; whilst that which is nonsense suddenly becomes the obvious answer. As we make these shifts, even our sense of what it means to understand might change.'

 

This is the underpinning of the previously published poem 'Consciousness IS'

Contemplating Conspiracy 2. Madman or Magician? Encounters with David Icke

David Icke’s work was a sledge hammer that cracked open the nut of my conditioned worldview. It was the red pill that took me down the rabbit hole into wonderland. A gnostic mythos for our age.

The Essence of Anarchy 2. What is Property?

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

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?

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

‘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.
