Modern discourse would have you
Modern discourse would have you believe that anarchy is
about disorder and chaos. However, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. For Colton and
Matthew, anarchy is a form of social and political organization focused on making all spaces as
non-coercive and horizontal as possible. Or more specifically, the presenters view anarchy as
an everyday practice and as a tool to critique social and political hierarchies.
In their Socratic dialogue, Colton and Matthew have a conversation about what anarchy
means to them. They talk about how hierarchies influence their everyday lives, and imagine a
world where everyone has access to exercise their autonomy in their work, home, and
relationships. On a broader level, Matthew questions the efficacy of systemic hierarchies, and
considers participatory social activism as a means for liberating all people. On a more tangible
and micro level, Colton questions planned obsolescence and talks about how they practice
anarchism in their everyday relationships.
Matthew, a self described punk skateboarder and academic, is majoring in English with a concentration in composition and rhetoric, and minoring in philosophy. In pursuit of a career in higher education, Matthew wishes to develop his masters thesis on anarchist pedagogies and social activism in the near future. As an activist of social justice and intersectionality, Matthew seeks to dismantle, or at least disrupt, all unjust hierarchies especially in everyday life.
Colton is majoring in Philosophy and is working on two minors; one in Psychology, and the other in an IDP minor titled Ideology Estadounidense. Areas in which Colton will work in the future includes, but is not limited to; autonomy, identity theory, relationship theory, access within inclusivity versus exclusivism, and critical theory. They will also continue their work on the infinite predicate of god, which is their Honors Thesis topic, within Philosophy of Religion. They hope to attend The New School in New York to pursue their Graduate career. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
