Maniphesto Media Academy (MMA) is a virtual one-room school-house for men who want to take an intellectual and spiritual deep dive. Through weekly study groups and lecture series, we try to make sense of the present apocalyptic times.
The course will cover:
The history and theory of media paradigms
Marshall McLuhan’s theories of media, communication and culture
‘The Jordan Peterson phenomenon’ and the rise of long form content
John Vervaeke’s ‘The Meaning Crisis’ and Jonathan Pageau’s work on Symbolism
Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas on the death of god and affirmative nihilism
Réne Girard’s theories of scapegoating and mimetic desire, and how these play out online
Alexander Bard’s descriptions of attentionalism and netocracy in the internet age
Ivan Illich, education, and the underground world of contemporary YouTube educators
How to write and produce podcasts
And more…
At MMA we will celebrate creative content, think critically about the existing paradigm, and create a lively learning community.
The weekly meetings include short lectures, breakout rooms, debates, and lively discussions.
This is a great opportunity to be involved in a convivial learning community and to converse with some of the amazing philosophers and thought leaders who will be invited as special guests.
You will engage in media projects, doing hands-on practical work, creating podcasts and videos, writing blogs and essays, and becoming your own content maker.
Meetings take place Wednesday evenings at 8pm CET (2pm EST) on Zoom, lasting 1 hour.
After the session is a 30 minute community time, attendance is optional.
Further discussion, social media, and community building happens on Telegram.
