If you can stand the sound of my voice and cringey ramblings (admittedly, even I can't...) and if you're interested in utopia, pessimism, and all that good stuff, give this a watch! Billie makes a lot of sense even if I don't!
My interview with @Grumpy_Rachid, about his fantastic new book on utopia and pessimism Is now on YouTube. Go and hear about why radicalism always needs a pessimistic moment in thought!

My book has 1x 3 Star rating on Amazon! This is amazing news... it means that someone in the world didn't think it was total nonsense... I feel both vindicated and delighted ๐
Looking at my bookshelves and there must be literally over 200 books I've not yet read but really want to... So challenge to self is to get through one or two a week and see where we get, starting today with:
Had a great conversation with Rachid M'Rabty (@Grumpy_Rachid) about his fascinating new book, Disconsolate Dreamers.
It'll be uploaded to the Zer0-Repeater channel soon!
@TheLitCritGuy Finished reading A Spectre Haunting last week, it's great - Mieville on Marx is, of course, super insightful and really entertaining to read! You will thoroughly enjoy it
Pessimism revives the possibility for radical change.
It calls for a disentanglement from the world and, in so doing, offers a glimpse at the utopian impossible.
'Disconsolate Dreamers: On Pessimism and Utopia' is out on June 30th!
