This episode reflects on two essays I wrote about the Twilight Zone New Year’s marathon, one from last year and one from this year. Serling’s work still helps explain how fear turns into scapegoating, punishment, and moral panic. #twilightszone podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Just published a follow-up to my last article. This one asks why relation is not as simple as caring about people and leaving politics aside. Levinas, Butler, and Fanon help explain what happens when recognition collapses before it even begins. open.substack.com/pub/therig…
