Cybersocialism: Project Cybersyn & The CIA Coup in Chile (Full Documentary by Plastic Pills) PlasticPills 2021-08-18 | Any description here must be prefaced by gratitude to the couple hundred people that made this project possible. I hope it lives up to the vision I presented to you all, those months ago.If you want to see content like this show up online, it needs your support. I have gained some experience these past 4 months, particularly that big projects are a bad idea for small channels. Unfortunately I am yet beholden to a shadowy algorithmic god who does not reward production value or effort, only the frequency of uploads. You can help by either buying a ticket to the bonus content, or by sharing it around if that isn't viable, and maybe then I can do more like this in the future. There are already a bunch of videos of the creation process on Patreon. patreon.com/plasticpillsWe have some follow-up content on the Plasticpills podcast. Here is the first episode on a series about Cybernetics and Systems Theory youtu.be/tMReLjh10tc, and here is a link to the companion episode for this documentary: youtu.be/pFtPCvhf6ioThe public podcast can be found wherever you get podcasts (PlasticPills - Philosophy & Critical Theory).

Postmodernism is Good Actually: Jean Baudrillards Philosophy | Plastic Pills PlasticPills 2023-04-12 | This video is a companion piece to my Society of the Spectacle video (youtu.be/0blWjssVoUQ) and I wrote it by putting three different chapters of 80s Baudrillard into a blender: "Ecstasy of Communication" from Ecstasy of Communication (amzn.to/3KgBzui), "Ironic Strategies" from Fatal Strategies (amzn.to/3usNspr) and "The Implosion of Meaning in the Media" from Simulacra and Simulation (amzn.to/3KarO0F). They figure as a challenge to humanist social theory, including the Marxist humanism espoused by Guy Debord.
