Extinction Talk and All That College Stuff with Tyler Austin Harper
Hello! Today on the show, we have Tyler Austin Harper, a literary scholar and an assistant professor of Environmental Studies at Bates College. We talk about the history of extinction literature, the books that tech moguls read and the vision it inspires, the dangers of science fiction and all that’s happening in the Ivy Leagues right now. 0:00 - Jay talks about the new direction of the show, which for now will be a “degenerate Asian version of In Our Time.” 2:40-6:00 - Jay and Tyler talk about Maine and the L.L. Bean outlet. 7:00-34:00 - EXTINCTION LITERATURE TALK 34:00- end - How to think about what’s happening on campus, the need to address concerns about double standards in speech with seriousness and good faith, and a defense of DEI programs. You should read Tyler’s work as well. Here are some links How Much Blood is Your Fun Worth? in the Atlantic. I’m a Black Professor.

Here’s a Look Inside the Racial Gaming of Admissions in NYT Lastly, I wanted to put in a short message here about the future of the show. As noted, the show will still continue and while there’s no definitive plan yet on what the next months will look like, there will still be episodes and an ongoing assessment of what’s working and what’s not. Obviously, the show will not be the same without Tammy, but the community we built over the past three and a half years has always been extremely important to me and not something I take for granted. If you have any suggestions or complaints or whatever, please feel free to email me at timetosaygoodbyepod@gmail.com. I’m extremely grateful for all of your support over all these years and I want you to know that you also have a say in what comes next. thanks Jay This is a public episode.
