Welcome to Revolutionary Readings with Professor Peyto, where we take theory off the shelf and put it where it belongs: in the streets, in our bodies, and in our breath.This episode: Meeting the Universe Halfway by Karen Barad (https://www.dukeupress.edu/meeting-the-universe-halfway)Physicist, feminist, philosopher Karen Barad asks us to rethink everything we’ve assumed about reality, science, and our place in the world.We’ll explore:— What it means to live in a universe of entanglements— Why objectivity is a myth and observation is always ethical— The difference between interaction and intra-action— How quantum physics becomes a queer feminist ethics of care— And how reading this book during my Saturn return has become a spiritual practice for me personallyThis episode isn’t just about theory, it’s about accountability. About showing up in a world where we are never separate, never neutral, never untouched. Barad doesn’t give us easy answers, they offer a method. A practice. A way of meeting the universe... halfway.Theory is survival. Entanglement is sacred.
