The Trolls Under the Bridge: Intersubjective Parasitology, Computational Demonology, and Things That Go BUMP in the Dark Night of the Soul w/ Evan McMullen

Every complex ecosystem evolves parasites. This niche is not absent from the ecosystems created by the intersubjective interaction between minds, but in the transition from older, traditional ontologies for understanding mind and its relationship to reality to new, more “scientific” paradigms, we seem to have lost most of our ability to perceive and relate to the intersubjective phenomena our ancestors might have called “demons.” Evan returns to the Stoa for a 4 part series to discuss these phenomena, since their relevance in terms of our daily life experience and the generators of political conflict is becoming more obvious and relevant.
