The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism & Why it Matters with CHRISTINE WEBB
Q: Could you talk about the ways in which we accept science as being always flawed but still within normal parameters?
Human exceptionalism is often so normalized that it goes unnoticed in many aspects, including how science is conducted and interpreted.
The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism & Why it Matters with CHRISTINE WEBB
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about how you set out to write this book in the first place?
The book originated from a seminar I taught at Harvard, where engaging with these concepts transformed both my students and me in how we related to the more-than-human world.
What's Left: Three Paths Through the Planetary Crisis with MALCOLM HARRIS
Q: So what led you to move from being an historian of capitalism in the world, to most likely an account of their mutual demise and ways to avoid it?
People were asking me what we are supposed to do now regarding global warming or the planetary crisis. I thought there's a lot of value in addressing these challenges from a different perspective.

Q: Could you talk more about the hardness, but also the ways they attempted to finesse these contradictions?
The three hearts are hardwired human nature, hard borders, and hard currency, each refuting standard neoliberal theory while attempting to finesse contradictions through sheer willpower.
Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ & the Capitalism of the Far Right with QUINN SLOBODIAN
Q: Did you envision Hayek's Bastards already in the earlier books?
Yes, the genesis of it was almost at the same time as what became crack up capitalism, particularly around the 2016 election and Charlottesville in 2017.
