There Is No Alternative: The Death of Imagination

This episode explores Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher.

In this episode of The Murphy Monologues, we dive into Mark Fisher’s concept of capitalist realism—the idea that capitalism has so thoroughly colonized our minds that we can no longer imagine alternatives. From the myth of the invisible hand to the soul-crushing logic of endless productivity, we explore how our economic system became a totalizing reality—and what it means to live, dream, and resist inside it.
