Sophistry has been the tactic against us. The ends justify the means. Emotion over intellect through rhetorical arguments.

Thanks for all you do...

The foundations of democracy feel increasingly precarious, not under siege from tanks in the streets, but from something perhaps more insidious: a 'slow strangulation' conducted from within. Across the democratic world, norms erode,

I wish more people would pay attention to this.

I was offered a ticket but am in DC. Demonstrated at Tesla the other day at least.

Paganism? Ok let’s go!

As a Canadian i am proud that you are moving to Toronto.

Outstanding lecture Professor. You were interesting and compelling.

winfeld.bsky.social•91 days ago

Paganism in this context may mean intolerance, suppression. Everyone who does not conform to the King's will is an enemy. Someone who is not a loyalist, is branded as a pagan.

People are wondering why you went to Canada. People are saying you are a hypocrite and you left US out of fear of Trump, that you are protecting your family while telling others to stay a fight.
Can you explain?
Thank you

I wish I could attend this remarkable lecture

marysvintagebijou.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thank you Dr. Snyder-we will miss you in 🇺🇸.

flashgordon21.bsky.social•91 days ago

I would much rather see paganism return in its previous form than be associated with far right, evangelical Christian amoral nihilism. That gives paganism a bad name👍👊

lewstime.bsky.social•90 days ago

Great talk, I found it on Youtube. Thank you.

beaudeluxe.bsky.social•90 days ago

Enjoyed your talk at Rhodes. Couldn’t agree more about screens in classrooms.

be4spring.bsky.social•90 days ago

We’ll be there at the livestream.

ajlzarychta.bsky.social•91 days ago

Sorry I won't be there to hear this lecture. If the title is any indication of the content, I think it's apt.

wecandohardthings.bsky.social•79 days ago

FWIW — and given that you’re multilingual and have spent time in the U.K., chances are high that I’m wrong 🤡 — but I can hear Canadian influence in your vowels and some word choices. Not the sound of someone who fled to Toronto last week in the back of a turnip truck. 😁

What a shitty pompous title. I hope it fails.

I’m very surprised that Trump is isn’t already called you a traitor…

Thanks

pdbqp.bsky.social•90 days ago

I really, really, would love to see you have a get together with Peter Pomerantsev, Wouter Hanegraaff, Mark Sedgwick and Adam Curtis to better understand the cultural and ideological roots of today. It's definitely a strange combination of marketing, reality TV and misunderstood Gnosticism...

mconniem.bsky.social•90 days ago

Thank you for this. I truly felt joy listening to you.

chrisboese.bsky.social•90 days ago

I also thought you had a great point about technology reversing progress with algorithmic Skinner boxes. As a UX designer over past 20+ years (cough-30), I also see design trend to create apps as “toasters,” one big dumb button, the opposite of Berners-Lee power of interactive hypertext.

chrisboese.bsky.social•90 days ago

Listening to Canadians (and non-US people) is so important. Your analysis is astoundingly close to what Malcolm Nance is saying these days too.

So much to process here. Thank you for all the food for thought!

chrisboese.bsky.social•90 days ago

I am LOVING your NYPL talk on the New Paganism! Univ of Toronto is also the right place to be working out these ideas (and yes, I know your work is more grounded than McLuhan’s), but Toronto is the place for a big, non-totalizing framework.

chrisboese.bsky.social•90 days ago

I come back to a kind of neo-feudalism, but your framework drawing on that deep Viking mythos, and your description of sacrifice goes beyond the Hanged Man card (or Odin on the World Tree), to a broad, sadistic proxy sacrifice (perhaps even plotting future genocides), circles to VALUE, beyond…

chrisboese.bsky.social•90 days ago

… the Scandinavian death wish/cults, and how the wealth the billionaires can’t take with them will be disposed of (or recirculated), I think they are in irrational denial, and some really think they will upload consciousness into some sort of VR game world (Neal Stephenson, Dodge in Hell).
