Against Progress w/ Jack Black
May 26, 2025 · 58 min

Alright, this week Tim is shopping for two birds that look alike and we’re joined by friend of the podcast Jack Black whose latest book is The Psychosis of Race: A Lacanian Approach to Racism and Racialization and we’re talking through Žižek’s new book Against Progress

What becomes of squashed birds? We’re talking Slavoj Žižek’s work on quantum physics, collapsed wave functions, fetishistic splits, retroactive redemption, disavowal, Jack’s mother’s poetic swearing, and whether the only real option is one that starts again. And again. And again. 

Support us on PATREON for more episodes, interviews, SHORT SESSIONS and our DISCORD.

Big thanks to Jack and as always… 

See you in Paris,
