What comes after liberal democracy? | Kolja Zydatis
What comes after liberal democracy? In this bold, idea-rich lecture, Kolja Zydatis explores the global political topography of our time – a murky, volatile “interregnum” where the old order is collapsing but the new has not yet arrived. Drawing from his and Mark Feldon’s new book, Zydatis offers a panoramic, polemical tour of what he calls hyper-liberalism – a runaway version of liberalism obsessed with borderlessness, identity, and control – and the strange new regimes it has birthed: the Diversity State, the Green Leviathan, and the Biopolitical Machine.

The End of the Liberal Order – and What Comes Next | Jacob Reynolds
Is the postwar liberal order finally coming undone? And if so – what comes next? The liberal order is dying – not liberalism as an idea, but the postwar regime of managed decline, elite control, and fake freedom. This talk exposes how that order hollowed out real autonomy, smothered politics, and bred a generation of anxious, atomised subjects. But if it's ending, what replaces it? Populist parties are rising – but do they have the stomach for revolution, or just nostalgia and slogans? With five sharp tests – from institutional guts to faith in ordinary people – this lecture challenges any would-be populist movement to prove it stands for freedom, not just power.

Deneen, Yarvin and the "new right": Parasites on Populism? | Dr Tim Black
This lecture explores the emergence of the American New Right – a diffuse and provocative intellectual tendency gaining visibility in the wake of the populist revolts of 2016. Focusing on figures like Patrick Deneen and Curtis Yarvin, it examines their critiques of liberalism, meritocracy, and democracy, as well as their visions of authority, order, and political renewal. While often dismissed as marginal or extreme, these thinkers articulate deeper dissatisfactions with modernity, autonomy, and the liberal elite consensus. The talk considers whether their ideas offer a serious response to the current political malaise – or reflect a more inward-looking, aristocratic impulse seeking meaning in a post-liberal age.
