Uncertain Things

Everything is broken. Jaded journos Adaam & Vanessa talk to people much smarter than themselves and ask: "now what?" Listen at:

[Uncertain Things @UncertainPod]

[Adaam James Levin-Areddy 🐙 @AmsterdamLost]

On today's Uncertain Things, @EinatWilf returns to look back at 2.5 years of war. Did Israel lose the war that matters? Can ideologies be destroyed? Is America exceptional? And is there hope for Arab Zionism?

[Eli Lake @EliLake]

.@MattWelch is a national treasure. Listen to his interview with @AmsterdamLost on the dangers of conflating speech with violence. On the superb podcast, Uncertain Things, https://t.co/ZGXLV4sanD

American show trials: @MattWelch on the moment that made him worry about the illiberalism in higher education.

This is worth your time.

The hero in the American story is "the individual that stands up to the crowd."

Catch @JonahDispatch on our latest episode talking Jacobins, Millenarians, and other death cults.

One difference between Liberalism & its utopian cousins is that it takes human nature seriously. It's a guardrail against the worst tendencies of, rather than an attempt to solve, the human condition. @JonahDispatch (He Who Must Not Be Complimented) joined me for a Marvel Feature-length talk on Uncertain Things to discuss. Full episode's out wherever you listen to podcasts.

One of the nerdiest talks on a very nerdy podcast. In a marathon of an episode, we talked utopias, Straussian esotericism, the revolutionary urge to purge, montheism, and dark humor.

Clips to come.

[Melanie Notkin @SavvyAuntie]

@RabbiWolpe Ah! @dansenor said something similar toward the end of his appearance on @AmsterdamLost’s @UncertainPod this week!

American media (especially on the right) insists that Israel's attacks on Iran will drag us into World War III. @Nadav_Eyal disagrees. Here's a snippet from our talk yesterday on @thedispatch podcast:

[Adaam James Levin-Areddy 🐙 @AmsterdamLost]

Yesterday @Nadav_Eyal and I got waylaid mid-discussion by a difficult question: what's motivating Iranian leadership? Is it regional Great Power Realpolitik? Or is it eschatological fantasies of death, destruction, and martyrdom?

[The Dispatch @thedispatch]

How likely is the Israel-Iran conflict to drag us into World War 3?

Israeli journalist @Nadav_Eyal joins @AmsterdamLost on The Dispatch Podcast to explain Israel’s surprise attack on Iran and its effect on the future of the region.

[The Dispatch @thedispatch]

To what extent does Israel rely on the United States during times of war?

@AmsterdamLost is joined by Israeli journalist @Nadav_Eyal to explain Israel’s surprise attack on Iran and its effect on the future of the region.

[Adaam James Levin-Areddy 🐙 @AmsterdamLost]

"I am tired of [Gazans] being under the mercy of this entity." On Uncertain Things, @afalkhatib explained why he supports an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

[Adaam James Levin-Areddy 🐙 @AmsterdamLost]

Just published one of my favorite convos on Uncertain Things: the inimitable @AlanDersh and I discuss his new book "The Preventive State," the origins of law, whether transparency is necessary for a democratic jurisprudence, and even had a Talmudic detour.

[Adaam James Levin-Areddy 🐙 @AmsterdamLost]

Maybe the chaos and the bloodiness were the appeal all along? My stream-of-consciousness thoughts about the revolutionary craving and the temptation of nihilism.

[Adaam James Levin-Areddy 🐙 @AmsterdamLost]

A while ago @pescami admonished me for blaming everything that's going wrong in our politics on nihilism. My response came two months later, at a bar, two martinis in, in the form of a stream-of-consicousness rant clumsily typed on a phone. Here goes: https://t.co/JJmpWPYEXX
