Acid Horizon
Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.
Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.
Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

"Are We Still Able to Die?": https://camtology.substack.com/p/are-we-still-able-to-die
In this episode of Acid Horizon, we are joined by philosopher and writer Cameron Carsten to discuss his recent blog post, "Are We Still Able to Die?"—the first installment in his series Power as Reality. Cameron’s work delves into the nature of power as the control over reality, tracing its manifestations through domination, hegemony, and the symbolic dimensions of life and death. Drawing on thinkers like Baudrillard, Foucault, Deleuze, and Guattari, this conversation also confronts urgent questions of meaning, fulfillment, and resistance in the shadow of the emerging Trump 2.0 era.
