@duncanbell.bsky.socialReposted by @duncanbell.bsky.social@duncanbell.bsky.social@duncanbell.bsky.socialThanks. The story seems to be moving so fast at the moment that knowing where to stop it is itself a challenge!
@duncanbell.bsky.social🙏
@duncanbell.bsky.socialThanks! Your work on the 70s and 80s (among other things) has had a major impact on my thinking about the subject, so i'm delighted to hear that.

@histphilosophy.bsky.socialReposted by @duncanbell.bsky.socialCheck out my new podcast series, "Pages of History," in which I speak to leading experts on topics in cross-cultural philology!
The first batch of episodes deals with philology as a science, the Cain and Abel narrative, and the ancient language Aramaic.

@kimatiwagner.bsky.socialReposted by @duncanbell.bsky.socialThe performative logic of a public execution is the same as the images of boat-strikes in the Caribbean - state violence as pure spectacle. It is the strategy of a government that rules through coercion rather than consent.

@duncanbell.bsky.socialFor those interested in a deeper dive, my book on the history of transhumanism will be published next year....
@duncanbell.bsky.socialIndeed! (He's mentioned in my forthcoming book on the subject...)
