Diffractions

Here’s the first half of an interview done with Diffractions in 2026 after the publication of The Revenge of Reason, titled ‘Stitching the Manifold: 1.0‘ The questions are very incisive, and cover a wide range of topics in a way that lets me tie together various threads running through the essays in the book. There is a nice discussion of left-accelerationism, the normative distortions engendered by the concept of survival, and a good overview of computational Kantianism.
