Sweeny vs Bard Season 2 Ep. 18: The Anoject Part 1: With Thomas Hamelryck
Our latest discussion with Thomas Hamelryck, in which Alexander introduces his concept: The Anoject - a neologism he invented which means, roughly speaking, the anonymous accuser. More discussion on the nature of tyranny and scapegoats, with reference to favorite philosophers Girard, Heidegger, Nietzsche and others.
Thomas Hamelryck is a scientist who uses AI to solve problems in bioinformatics and molecular biology. For philosophical and religious questions, he turns to the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead, the mimetic theory and Christian theology of Rene Girard, the Dionysian philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and the practices of Sutric and Tantric Buddhism.
