Conrad Hamilton is a doctoral student with Catherine Malabou and lecturer at Paris 8 university. He is a contributor to What Is Post-Modern Conservatism: Essays On Our Hugely Tremendous Times edited by Matthew McManus, is currently writing Dialectic of Escape: A Conceptual History of Video Games and is a co-author of the upcoming Myth and Mayhem: A Leftist Critique of Jordan Peterson wherein he provides a chapter critiquing Peterson’s understanding of postmodernism and Marxism, among other things- which is what Conrad discusses in this episode with Daniel.* *Conrad and I went on a rather wide tangent debating China and the CCP; since that seemed suited to being part of a separate episode, this conversation has been divided into two parts.
