Description
What is it to feel potential unfold around us? What are the sensations of possibility? What should we expect? In this episode of Something Like, we'll take a page from the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben and explore the precipice of actuality, potentiality, and its misunderstood sister, impotentiality. Failure, success; let it in, let it out, let it go.
