Contemplating Conspiracy: Part 3 - Pulling Down and Propping up the Tower

The Essence of Anarchy 3. What’s so Good about Consent?
Welcome to the third instalment of the Essence of Anarchy series. In this episode we’ll be asking whether we should take consent as a foundational good, requiring no further justification? Some of you may answer ‘yes’—and think such a thing is self-evident. Others may not be convinced, seeing this position as idealistic. We must acknowledge that such a belief in consent is clearly far from universal. History is replete with people who—believing they have found the one right way to live—see all that remains as being to impose that way on everybody else, consent not being required.

'There are indeed multiple non-scientific ways in which we can probe consciousness. A comprehensive understanding may require fundamental changes in perspective. That which is obvious from one perspective may make no sense from another; whilst that which is nonsense suddenly becomes the obvious answer. As we make these shifts, even our sense of what it means to understand might change.' This is the underpinning of the previously published poem 'Consciousness IS' Download Essay here

Understanding Afghanistan, with Adam Fitzgerald
Adam Fitzgerald of The Darkened Hour Podcast joins me to make sense of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Was it really about capturing Bin Laden and making the world safe from terrorism? Were oil and gas pipelines and narco-trafficing deeper reasons for the war? If so, has it been a colossal failure for the U.S. Empire? And what becomes of the Empire now? Follow Adam on YouTube
