  73: Are Today’s Militaries Able to Fight Today’s Wars?

  Feb 11, 202611 minS3

  <p>Modern militaries are preparing for the wrong battlefield.</p><p>While defense budgets expand and recruitment campaigns intensify, the underlying model of the soldier remains anchored in industrial-age assumptions about physical fitness, command presence, and able-bodied strength. But today’s wars are hybrid, informational, algorithmic, and cognitive. They are fought through drones, cyber operations, infrastructure disruption, and narrative warfare.</p><p>In this episode, we argue that militaries are structurally ableist — and that this isn’t just unjust, it’s strategically obsolete.</p><p>Speaking from lived experience as a disabled person, this episode explores why disability is not a weakne...

  71: The Power of Language

  Aug 7, 20251h 14mS3

  <p>In this Metaviews salon, our motley crew dove deep into the wild and wondrous terrain of language—its power, its peril, and its paradoxes.</p><p>We summoned thinkers like George Lakoff, Noam Chomsky, and Walter Ong to help frame the discussion, but as always, the most revelatory insights emerged from the collective intelligence of the group.</p><p>We debated the boundaries of language—do animals possess it, or merely the shadows of it? Many argued convincingly that they do, challenging long-held anthropocentric assumptions. Language, after all, may not be exclusive to humans, even if its structures differ acro...

  70: The Nature of Nature and Human Perceptions of the Natural World

  Jul 10, 20251h 17mS3

  <p>Jesse Hirsh introduces the season 3 premiere of Metaviews with a compelling discussion about the intricate concept of "the nature of nature." The episode delves into how the term "nature" has become a catch-all reference point in discussions that often intertwine with politics and morality, leading to a paradoxical relationship with the environment—a relationship that is becoming increasingly urgent in light of climate change. The participants, a diverse group of insightful thinkers, explore the implications of our understanding of nature, questioning whether our perceptions and classifications truly reflect its essence or merely serve our human narratives. As they engage in...

  <p>In the final episode of Season 2, Metaviews pauses to reflect—on where </p><p>we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. Titled Chrysalis, this </p><p>episode marks a moment of transformation.

But this is not a </p><p>passiv...
