Reza Negarestani's lecture But Where Do You All Zombies Come From? in Prague
11 October 2024
The Academy of Fine Arts & The Faculty of Humanities are hosting a talk by Reza Negarestani, one of the leading thinkers of our time. Negarestani has not only popularized theory-fiction (Cyclonopedia) but also developed a vast neo-rationalist project on intelligence. In his first-ever lecture in Prague, Negarestani will outline his program of (general) intelligence, as featured in Intelligence and Spirit. Negarestani's lecture will be complemented by a shorter position paper from Václav Janoščík. Mohammad Salemy will moderate this discussion.
