Lifeboat ethics, risk, and therapeutic opportunity
Psychedelic-assisted treatment (PAT) for mental health is in renaissance. Psilocybin and MDMA stand near FDA approval, and US cities and states are decriminalizing or regulating the non-clinical use of psilocybin. However, neither FDA indications nor a regulated use model sufficiently address the complex needs and opportunities for an improved treatment of addiction. When paired with disability and social dispossession, addiction increasingly bur…

Diffracting Cybernetic-Existentialism

Haunted
The paranormal makes believers and unbelievers out of us all. The compulsion to debunk that which we can neither see nor easily account for is always a part of the game that we play.

As such, the perception of data journalists as predictors of the future—a perception at odds with the expressed mission of journalists themselves—enters into a larger anxiety around trust and facts in polit…
Model Talk
Model Talk: Transparency, Percent Prediction, and the 2018 FiveThirtyEight Election Forecast Taylor Black (bio) Theatre Journal’s timely special issue on Post-Fact Performance, published in December 2018, brings together a number of fast-paced, volatile subjects, particularly electoral politics and digital-era communication. As such, it is no surprise that even the quickest of academic timelines requires updates. In my essay for the print journal…
Introduction
To survive is messy, elaborate, layered. The metaphysics of deferral are implied by the word's Latinate roots: sur (over) vive (life). Sur-vival, live beyond, implies competition among the living, some who go on and some who, perforce, are survived. Live, survive, preserve, and conserve all share the root vivre, which itself is preserved by its prefixal adaptability. Linguistically, life survives. Its animacy is not merely grammatical but neither…
