How to Panic Cheerfully

 I really enjoyed doing this interview with Nithya Iyer for the show, Aftermath. 

Listen to "Breaking the Fever takeover: The Aftermath finale - Timothy Morton on how to panic cheerfully" on Spreaker.

Me versus Transhumanism

 "Transhumanism is a global scientific and philosophical movement whose followers seek to achieve a radical enhancement of humanity’s physical and intellectual capacities and strive to significantly improve the average human life expectancy, paving the way for us to one day attain immortality."

Oh dear. 

In Russia, tomorrow, zoom, transhumanists in the room, register here:

New Term: ENGL 101 (Register and Tell a Friend)

 ENGL 101: WHAT IS A FACT?

This class is an ENGL class. I’m very good at ENGL. I’ve published 25 books in 13 languages. I do lectures around the world. I’ve worked with Björk and Pharrell Williams.

I get around. I've curated art shows in Barcelona and Marfa, TX and London. I’ve been cited over 14 000 times. I know how to read poems. 

But I’m not going to plead with you for one second to like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” 

I’m going to teach you that if you don’t study the nature of facts, you won’t survive in the modern world. 

This is the real STEM class. In the first five minutes of class one, you will understand why, and you will never forget it.
