Can We Use AI Without Losing Our Souls?
Can We Use AI Without Losing Our Souls? YouTube video by Douglas Rushkoff

The negativity surrounding AI today is justified, but it may be too early to write AI’s epitaph.

This week, I contrast a peer-to-peer Amazon killer built by social activists with the chilling surveillance infrastructure being developed by tech billionaires like Larry Ellison.

I remember when we thought TSA was going to be a temporary measure in the wake of 9-11, not a new normal. The billion-dollars-a-month airport security system is just the price of living in a perpetual state of war.

"The paranormal is not uncommon. It's actually very common. What happens is the culture suppresses these things and presents the illusion that they're not happening all the time — when in fact they are." - Jeffrey Kripal

The Holy War Delusion: Is it Time to Retire Our Religions?
The Holy War Delusion: Is it Time to Retire Our Religions? YouTube video by Douglas Rushkoff

As religious identities are weaponized by nationalism, literalism, and holy war narratives, from Christian Zionism to the defense of the nation-state, we find ourselves trapped in a linear, Axial Age story that no longer serves humanity.

My Dinner With Jeffrey: What the Epstein Files Reveal About Us All
My Dinner With Jeffrey: What the Epstein Files Reveal About Us All YouTube video by Douglas Rushkoff

I recall a disturbing 90s dinner party where I was scolded for "wasting my plus-one" on a brilliant intellectual instead of "eye candy" to decorate the room for elites.

Then, I trace the lineage of this misogyny to the scientism of figures like Dawkins and Pinker.
