This is the first lecture given by Carl Olsson about the work and thought behind his first book, The Mouth That Eats Itself. It is, in his own words, a crazy book, described by some as a philosophical horror story that can bury the reader alive. Carl is accompanied by Mandus Ridefelt, whose project Still Life—a philosophy of Sloths and their “counterspirit” (ungeist)—falls very much within the same genre of thought.
