A roundtable discussion on ‘cool’ with Alexander Bard, Thomas Hamelryck and Alex Ebert, hosted by Andrew Sweeny.
After listening to Alex Ebert’s fantastic presentation ‘Dead Cool’ at the Stoa we thought we would invite Alex— who like Alexander Bard, is a pop star turned philosopher—for a discussion on ‘The Philosophy of Cool’. What is cool in the age of attentionalism? What is fake cool and what is real cool? How is cool related to Réne Girard’s theories of mimetic desire. Originally part of the Sweeny vs Bard podcast, we thought it exemplified a lively round table and should be part of the Strange Attractor series. After all ‘cool’ is a strange attractor and mysterious enough to merit a serious conversation.
AN APPROACH TO THE FERMI-PARADOX … because UFOS are apparently a hoot.
Episode 8 of the THE PARALLAX VIEW with Andrew Sweeny and Tom Amarque are up. Eric Gans! Scenes of consciousness, developmental psychology, libido and the crux and conspiracy of monogamy ... its all here: The ghosts that haunts us
About Parallax
Parallax is a European online media platform offering constructive and fresh perspectives for the post-post modern age. We publish essays and podcasts, webinars and lectures, and are a hub for original and heterodox thinking.
The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
