My piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social on the philosophical origins of our political division between unity and difference, how to overcome it, and what psychedelics have to do with all of it.

Following his death in May, a number of commentators have tried to link Alstair MacIntyre’s critique of modernity with the post-liberal political movement. @pjthinker.bsky.social argues that's a mistake.

New Substack post! My conversation with philosopher Jay Odenbaugh about the philosophy of de-extinction. Are genetics all that matters in the identity of a species? And even if it is possible to bring back to life species that have gone extinct - is it a good idea?

Perhaps the most emotionally impactful interview from over 50 or so I did @ HowTheLightGetsIn for @iai.tv. Christina Lamb on the many roles of women during warfare: fighters, victims, recipients of the most horrific violence. A tale as old as human history.

Part two of @alexispapazoglou.bsky.social’s interview with @thomsampson.bsky.social on how Trump’s tariffs - even if temporarily paused - will affect global trade. Perhaps it’s time countries came up with an economic model that doesn’t rely on trade with the US. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

I still remember this warm conversation with Martha Fiennes about the dark and bright side of AI and the creative process. I felt we bonded for a moment over our love of Tarkovsky’s films.
