The Trap of Perfect Images: Sex, Death and Creation with Cadell Last

The Technosocial Institute

Cadell Last is a philosopher and YouTuber. In this conversation we explore: why Cadell wrote a book on sex, masculinity and God; the paradox between evolutionary theory and religious civilisation; capitalism, the collapse of religion and the explosion of sexuality; the political struggle for liberty and sex; sex as a battleground; the interplay between identity and the real of the sex drive; noopolitics and competing meme complexes; how identity constellates around memes, and how these memes are disrupted; how racial and gender struggles have replaced national and religious struggle; bringing language and knowledge to sexuality; Hegel, death and disappointment; relationships between masters and students; the Big Other and lack; Heidegger, Einstein, Being and Time; Islam, Communism and other competing universalities; the production of self creating, purely technological life; biological, cultural and technological reproduction; the prospect of a new, noological species; collapsing temporality; dialectics, division, and the trap of perfect images.
