Es gibt keinen Ausweg, es gibt kein nächstes Mal. Es gibt nur «jetzt». Wenn wir es jetzt nicht tun, werden wir es nie tun.
Jetzt. Gemeinsam.
Das Buch ist spannend und leicht geschrieben, sehr empfehlenswert.
10/10

"Think of it this way. We built the net as a safe refuge for the counterculture. Corporations invaded the net, they took it over, and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare.
But they're ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they're leaving it behind, for something abstract and better, and as far as I'm concerned, let them take the net. As long as we can take back the real world.
They get the net, and we'll have each other."

Ep. 342 Could the end of employment be the beginning of something better? Rushkoff traces the history of work from medieval markets to AI automation to find hope in the cracks of collapse. He shows how the loss of “jobs” could open space for cooperation, creativity, and real human connection.

"... I keep coming back to this feeling that we're existing on this very thin membrane over ... just an ocean of tears. And, I've got more courage to go there and touch it, but it's ... there's so much grief!"

Ep. 331 Liana Gillooly , an advocate for purpose-built ecosystems and psychedelics, joins Rushkoff for a conversation about the evolving landscape of psychedelics. Gillooly discusses how to integrate activism into psychedelic use, the importance of ritual, and why sobriety and connection might b
"By leaving politics out [of the psychedelics movement] we just got co-opted by the worst of the worst. Same with the net, it's like we followed John Barlow; 'governments stay away, we don't need you', and it's like 'oh no, the corporations took over'."

Barlow was responding to the kind of wrongheaded attempts at net regulation we've seen so many times recently; link taxes, youth bans, etc.

"I don't mind even people thinking of ["AI"] as conscious entities. Is there a problem if we take the metaphor literally and think of them as ... sort of ... children, or a next generation of life that we're raising?"

Ummm ... *yes*! The same problem as thinking of Android devices as children, or the next evolution of life. It's delusional nonsense, and it leads to huge category errors in the way we understand the tech. See above.
Ep. 325 De Kai, the man who built the world’s first global translators and AI systems, says we better learn to parent our AI offspring before it’s too late. The author of Raising AI argues how we behave in front of AI’s matters more than whatever we tell them.
"Now, I’m not saying we shouldn’t do what we can to slow or stop all this bad shit from happening. But we shouldn’t act as if this is a surprise. As if now is somehow a game-changing pivot moment. A whole lot of us have been shouting from the rooftops for a whole long time while this incremental descent into madness was occurring, and it goes much deeper and longer than Donald Trump and America’s technocratic extremists."

Ich glaub, so kann man es zusammenfassen:
"Interessant dass Sie eine gegebene soziale Realität als Utopie bezeichnen. Ist es eine #Utopie, dass sich Menschen in die Augen sehen und sich unterhalten? So war die Welt früher." Aber ja, dann kam das #Internet, und es wurde kommerzialisiert, und... "Wir haben ein iPhone, kein wePhone." #DouglasRushkoff
