      I think it's this episode which introduced me to the idea. If it wasn't Revleftradio it was some other theory podcast covering the same topic. I haven't yet gotten into the Lacanian side.

        Just finished listening at work, general philosophy and Marxism don't get discussed together enough!

          This reminds me, I'm reading The Psychic Grid and theres a paragraph where the author says that in order to change people our conditions must change. It was interesting because its not revolutionary theory or anything like that at all. Its about how we "create" the world we live in, in our brains because we don't experience reality directly, only indirectly through the senses. Theres been a few passages like that, liberal philosophers getting real close to understanding how we can make a better world lol. I should post a screenshot or something.
