• Read: [[Red Enlightenment: On Socialism, Science and Spirituality]]

  • Enjoying it. I am sympathetic to the idea of a [[secular spirituality]] of some kind.
  • Jones is continuing his referencing to [[cybernetics]] and [[complex adaptive systems]] that was present in [[The Shock Doctrine of the Left]], so I'm enjoying it on that level too.

• Listened: [[The Missing Revolution w/ Vincent Bevins]]

  • On the uprisings of the 2010s and their failure to manifest as leftist revolutions in the long-term.
  • On the problems of [[horizontalism]]. Bit of [[Horizontalism vs verticalism]].
  • Interview is a bit one-sided, Marxist-Leninist, missing the nuance of [[Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal]] I think.
  • Still, really interesting, and based on on the ground accounts of what happened, so definitely to take heed of.
