Tyler brings his reflections from James C. Scott’s Seeing like a State, and sparks a conversation about the problems inherent to making things “legible.” The notion of legibility takes the dialogue beyond the production of governmental policy, and ultimately into the very structures of language and knowledge themselves.
Episode 8: On the Legibility of Things
Jul 25, 2021
Suffer Map
To map our suffering with thought and laughter -- this is the task we have set before ourselves. With these tools, we resist the darkness, and declare war on despair, the only true absurdity. "All things will be made new." Amen, and at each moment they are.
In this podcast, two old friends Tyler and Matthew chart the wastelands together. Their conversations move from deadly serious to absurdly funny and back again. Matthew and Tyler challenge conventional ways of thinking with philosophy, theology, and psychology, which they combine with their experience in technology and business.
