Untimely Reflections #5: Matt Keck - Archotropism, Fragility, and the Elite Morality

This is the first episode with my new mic set-up! Enjoy that crisp, crystal-clear vocal quality on my end, for the first time during one of my conversations with a guest. Apparently the bitrate was wreaking havoc on my normal mic setup, but thankfully the problem is finally solved. In this Untimely Reflections, I have a conversation with Matt Keck, the co-host of Beyond Talking Points. Matt is an anarcho-capitalist, who recommended the topic of archotropism, which is a theory of power set forward by youtuber/podcaster Popular Liberty. In the course of the conversation, we discuss how it is that economic wealth relates to power, why it is that the morality of the elites counter-intuitively tends towards leftism, the future of China, and how authoritarian modes of governance can create fragile systems. Even though Matt and I have very different views of government and the state, we share a lot of common insights on the nature of power and power relationships. As you may have noticed, I spoke with Matt's co-host, who is also named Matt, in the second episode of Untimely Reflections: https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/e16slnt You can listen to Beyond Talking Points here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Hag3O3dJr64F6VNs7rF3w
