 A tour of Jacques Lacan's famous 'Graph of Desire', as elaborated in 'The Subversion of the Subject and the Dialectic of Desire' in his Écrits. We check in at each of its points, explain what all the algebra means, and go through the concepts behind it. Plenty of real-life examples to help explain. Much more exploring psychoanalysis through the work of Jacques Lacan at https://www.LacanOnline.com watch the video below:

The ability to be able to copy or upload the mind has been discussed much in science fiction, and increasingly in science in recent years. Today we will examine many additional uses of Mind Uploading, along with how it works and some of its implications for concepts like Consciousness, Identity, and Individuality. We will also explore how these themes appear in Dennis E. Taylor's newest novel, The Singularity Trap, our Book of the Month.

A revolution in AI is occurring thanks to progress in deep learning. How far are we towards the goal of achieving human-level AI? What are some of the main? AI deep learning expert and the University of Montreal Professor Yoshua Bengio talks about deep learning—what it is, how it got there, where it's going, and how.  watch the video below: Zizek Studies Conference 19/05/2018  Live video at the 2018 4th Biennial Zizek Studies Conference in Athens, GA watch the lecture below:  THE IMMANENCE OF TRUTHS is Alain Badiou‘s forthcoming sequel to Being and Event, and Logics of Worlds… Here is Terence Blake’s translation of the book’s contents page shared by François Nicolas… Department of French and Italian, Princeton University, presents Alain Badiou. watch the video below: 
Artists are increasingly adopting game design as a methodology to interrogate and subvert complex financial and political systems. From simulations of fictional companies to live action role-play games, a diverse range of situated methods is emerging to expose social and political infrastructures. This discussion will explore to what effects gamification and digital simulation are useful for organising socio-political activism. Is responsible, community-oriented life in contemporary society a ‘skill’ that can be learned in a game-like environment? If the performance of financial investments can be simulated, can we also simulate the disruption of capitalist systems? How can such simulation become reality?
With Andy Morales Coto, Kei Kreutler, Stephanie Polsky and The Demystification Committee

by Zeyno Ustun  Roy Scranton, Stephanie Wakefield, and McKenzie Wark participated in a lecture on the Anthropocene. Our world is changing. Rising seas, spiking temperatures, and extreme weather imperil global infrastructure, crops, and water supplies. Our greatest enemy, it turns out, is ourselves. The warmer, wetter, more chaotic world we now live in — the Anthropocene — demands an intensive rethinking of the project of our species-being. Might the various traditions of critical theory be a resource for thinking the Anthropocene? This is the topic that Roy Scranton, Stephanie Wakefield, and McKenzie Wark will attempt to explore in this event. Author, journalist, Iraq war veteran, and Princeton Ph.D candidate Roy Scranton‘s journalism, essays, and reviews have appeared in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Boston Review, Contemporary Literature, and elsewhere. His book, Learning to Die in the Anthropocene, has just been published by City Lights. Stephanie Wakefield is co-founder of Woodbine in Ridgewood, Queens, and a geographer at the CUNY Graduate Center. She is currently finishing a book on oysters and the “becoming infrastructure of nature/becoming nature of infrastructure,” and teaching Urban Environmental Studies at Queens College. McKenzie Wark is the author, most recently, of Molecular Red: Theory for the Anthropocene (Verso Books), and teaches in Liberal Studies at the New School for Social Research. Video by Public Seminar www.publicseminar.org | @PublicSeminar This event is sponsored by Liberal Studies, The New School for Social Research.  In this video we take up the musical genre of vaporwave again in order to understand the Capitalist Realist moment we’re trapped in. We also consider the movie Snowpiercer as we take up an essay by the post-Marxist McKenzie Wark who, in his essay The Sublime Language of My Century, criticized Marx’s critique of political economy in the same way that a music critic might criticize a pop song.

Foucault’s interviewer Badiou is now an elder statesman of French philosophy, its “greatest living exponent,” writes his publisher. His most recent book documents forty years of what he calls the “’French moment’ in contemporary thought"—one greatly inspired by Michel Foucault.
