"Reading Nick Land's 'Teleoplexy' (His Most Important Essay) In this mega-episode Nance and I exegetically read through Nick Land's 'Teleoplexy' which is in our opinion the greatest essay he ever wrote (yes even greater than 'Meltdown') since it does the best job of connecting all of the main Landian dots e.g. capital time technology artificial intelligence acceleration etc. This now classic text has had a major influence on how we think about capitalism AI and the future. If you want a nuanced and detailed introduction to the fundamentals of Landian accelerationism then this is the video for"

"Helen Rollins on Psychoanalysis and Cinema In this episode Nance and I are joined by Helen Rollins to discuss her book Psychocinema. In it she uses Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian dialectics to explore the fundamental dynamics of cinema. According to Rollins the cinematic art has unique effects on how we desire and fantasize but also on how it contains emancipatory potential in relation to capitalist ideology. It was a great conversation. Thanks Helen Sign up for Helen and Alfie's Philosophy Portal course on psychoanalysis and politics here:"
