Propaganda for the Planet (w/ Timothy Morton)

This week, a philosophical conversation about the environmental movement with eco-philosopher Timothy Morton. We discussed the Stop Oil soup/Van Gogh protest, the value of political performance, Don't Look Up, meaninglessness as an attribute, & more. (Some Glass Onion spoilers!)

"Van Gogh caught a stray..." Love it!

A very interesting conversation! Much to think about.

I love Tim. I have listened to “hyperobjects” and “Humankind”. I have much to say otherwise

Sorry, is this about climate or is this about Morton? This guy can’t get over himself.

Bri, Matthew T. Huber would be a great person to have on for the topic of climate! His recent book "Climate Change as Class War" makes some similar arguments regarding how a mass movement has to be based on what material improvements it can provide to the quality of life for the 64%ish portion of the population that makes of the working class, rather than scolding them for not ~believing science~ or demanding that people who are already struggling to make ends meet "consume less." The book concludes with the Green New Deal as a case study in this type of strategy, but I interpreted a persistent belief on the author's part in electoralism as the vehicle for massive climate action, because he seems to argue that the state is the only entity that can enact change on the scale that is necessary. The argument lost me a little at the end because of what we know now about how the "green dream or whatever they call it" was received by the state. Nevertheless, I think he makes some great points and would love to see a back and forth between the two of you. <3
