Next weekend we will record our first Q&A episode of the year! This time around, we are only tapping patrons for questions (unless there is an unusual paucity of responses).

Topics can be about anything more or less relevant to the show.  Common suitable topics include anything about our philosophical interests, our grad school experience, reading recommendations, previous episodes...almost anything! We can't promise that we will do every question. Also, in some cases maybe we will combine questions where it's relevant.

So, ask away! You can ask you a question in the reply to this post, or you can send it to me directly through Patreon's direct messages. 

ALSO THIS WEEK we will give away a free Crit Drip t-shirt of a lucky winner's choice via our Twitter account. Scope out your future reward at the new shop:

Good luck and thank you for your submissions!

Thoughts on contemporary Thomistic philosophers like Edward Feser and Alasdair MacIntyre.

What similarities do you find between Carl Jung and Felix Guattari?

I remember long long ago you played a clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson saying basically philosophy is useless and that those engaging in it are wasting their time. I am curious, why is Neil wrong or right? Maybe another way, does philosophy (particularly from the perspective of the Continental philosopher you all engage) do anything? Or is it good for anything? If it is, what is it good for? I know these are a series of different questions, but I hope you're able to see what I'm getting at. If not, let me know and I'll try to say it another way. Thanks!

Could you explain what Deleuze means by representation? I have a background in analytic philosophy, so the philosophers I’m familiar with that argue against representation usually claim that mental representation is a faulty view of mental content. The philosophers that argue this claim that mental representation simply doesn’t exist. This is very different (though imo compatible with) someone like Heidegger who makes something closer to a moral claim about representation, ie representational thinking is tied up with the philosophical and cultural nihilism of the modern world (and thus overcoming representational thinking is part of overcoming nihilism). It seems like deleuze is usually closer to Heidegger’s view, ie we are able to think representationally though good philosophers would avoid it. However sometimes he seems to claim that the mind doesn’t actually represent the world (thus being compatible with the analytic view I described).

If you were to assemble a Lacanian Starter Kit for new readers of Lacanian psychoanalysis (i.e; me lol) which books would you add? These can include Lacan's writings, but also writings that guide in understanding Lacan as well as his critics.

Spencer, if you haven’t already read The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist, you definitely should. He tackles this problem head on.

After reading much of Mark Fisher's work it's frustrating to not have his voice right now. I would never ask for you to speak for the dead, but how has his writing on capitalist realism informed on the pandemic in the related events to it?

How do you read? I often have trouble retaining information from the types of texts read on the show and I'm wondering how you folks read, reread, take notes, etc.

During the episode on uses of Nietzsche for political philosophy it was hinted that Craig has a really interesting reading of the “The Birth of Tragedy,” though I don’t think it was ever fully revealed. I have been so curious as to what it might be ever since and I would love to hear it!

I think Will spoke flatteringly of my take, which I have come to realize is much like Klossowski’s view of Nietzsche—and I probably got that from reading a lot of Deleuze. But Perhaps I’ll go into it.

I’ll definitely talk about this one. In my Master’s program on education, I did a presentation on reading retention. So I will talk about it.
