Cory Doctorow’s McLuhan lecture on enshittification.

“‘IP’ is just a euphemism for ‘a law that lets me reach beyond the walls of my company and control the conduct of my critics, competitors and customers.’ And ‘app’ is just a euphemism for ‘a web-page wrapped [with] enough IP to make it a felony to mod it to protect the labor, consumer and privacy rights of its user.’”

“Autism and ADHD affect people on a spectrum of severity, both are legally recognised as disabilities, and neither are mental illnesses to be “cured”, although the knock-on effects can lead to mental illness. People who experience ways of thinking that diverge from those experienced by the majority of people are described as “neurodivergent”.”

What if someone close to you just ... vanished one day? That happens to tens of thousands of families a year in Japan, and it happened to Jake Adelstein, too, back in 2018 - when his accountant disappeared, just before tax day.

This podcast will take listeners on a journey into the fascinating and bizarre world of Japan's johatsu, or "evaporated" people.
