Philosophizing Our Time: Desire, Debt, & Digital Serfdom (Virtual, July-August)
Monday evenings, July 21 - August 11, 2025 (Virtual)
This isn’t your dusty old metaphysics class. It’s philosophy with an edge—and maybe a little eyeliner. We’ll explore and our confused collective moment, how the “now” is sliced, monetized, and seductively repackaged through media, attention economies, and the strange return of feudal vibes (except now your liege lord is an algorithm).
Expect short, juicy readings from thinkers like David Graeber, Byung-Chul Han, Susan Buck-Morss, and Jodi Dean, paired with film and media dripping with “hypermodern” vibes: TikToks, indie films, vaporwave capitalism, and experimental ads that whisper, “Buy me, obey me, love me.”
Each week is part study group, part film club, part existential flirtation. Dress up, log on, and prepare to think through timelines, late capitalism, and what exactly we are living through.
