Does Star Trek show us what socialism looks like? What would it look like if we organized society democratically instead of allowing a few people to control most of the resources?   Bibliography and Further Reading * Obviously, the work of Marx and Engels is key to this piece. Particular texts I drew on here include The Civil War in France (1871) (modern editions contain the first draft and the address on the Civil War) and The Critique of the Gotha Programme (1875). Marx's "La Liberte" speech (1872) is where he proposes that some countries might transition to communism peacefully: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1872/09/08.htm * One of my chief inspirations for this piece and in general is the book Socialism: Past and Future (1989) by Michael Harrington, founder of the Democratic Socialists of America. Socialism does a good job of summing up the history of socialism, the rise of democratic socialism, the problems we faced in the 20th century, and where we might go from here. * The Preconditions of Socialism (1899) (also published in English as Evolutionary Socialism) by Eduard Bernstein is a fascinating book by the father of the democratic socialist movement and the idea of achieving socialists goals through gradual reform. A controversial figure both in his time and today, both with orthodox Marxists and modern democratic socialists, his story is one I find endlessly fascinating. Much as during the Social Democratic period of the mid-20th century, when Preconditions was first published, it seemed as if gradual socialism was working in Bernstein's native Germany. Then of course the First World War brought Germany to its knees. Bernstein himself, who'd become a member of the Reichstag, would die three weeks before Hitler came to power, undid all the achievements of his party, executed its leaders, and most of the members of Bernstein's ethnic group. While researching this piece, I also drew on The Dilemma of Democratic Socialism: Eduard Bernstein's Challenge to Marx (1952) by Peter Gay, and the excellent introduction to the English translation of Preconditions from 1993 by translator Henry Tudor. * For the history of the Russian Revolution, I highly recommend China Mieville's October (2017), a highly readable retelling of the story of the revolution and the events around it. * I am highly indebted to the work of Richard Wolff, whose Democracy at Work (2012) and associated website and YouTube channel opened my eyes to the possibilities of worker cooperatives as a tool for workers to control the means of production within a capitalist society and so create a mechanism not only to improve the lives of workers in the near term, but to build up worker power and control in the long term. * I'm also indebted to the continued work of Cory Doctorow in and out of his Pluralistic project, with too many useful and informative pieces to list here. For example, Pluristic turned me onto how municipal broadband providers are the only ones with consistent customer satisfaction, or his piece in Boing Boing about how the notion of the "tragedy of the commons" is based on lies and fraud. Other important pieces include "What Comes After Neoliberalism" and "Excuseflation".  * Carlos Maza's excellent video essay "The Pay for It Scam" is essential for understanding the ways in which only programs for the social good are ever asked "how will you pay for it", while corporate subsidies, tax cuts, and the military budget piles on the debt.  * For more on the "primitive communism" of the Iroquois and other native tribes, I recommend The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity (2021) by David Graeber. * Most of my research on Gene Roddenberry comes from the book The Impossible Happened: The Life and Work of Gene Roddenberry, Creator of Star Trek (2016) by Lance Parkin  * More on how modern corporations actually show the power of a centralized economy, a piece inspired by the book The People's Republic of Walmart (2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRepEvmCCIg   A larger bibliography can be found at: https://literatemachine.com/2023/04/11/star-trek-into-socialism/#paragraph

1ère invitée de la #Session Live, #1 Ana Carla Maza pour présenter l'album Bahia (Persona Editorial 2022).   Bahia est le deuxième album studio d'Ana Carla Maza. Il s'ouvre sur Habana, hommage à la capitale cubaine, où elle est née il y a 26 ans, d'un père chilien, musicien luxuriant, Carlos Maza, et d'une mère cubaine, guitariste, Mirza Sierra. "Cuba est un volcan", disait le père. "La Havane est une folie", répond la fille. Bien sûr, La Havane, c'est le Malecon, ce boulevard en façade atlantique, qui reçoit les embruns des Everglades. Pourtant, la ville se love autour d'une baie, très fermée, protégée, sûre : la Bahia, partie arrière d'une Habana Vieja humaine, portuaire, cosmopolite, parcourue des mélanges qui ont essaimé de l'Afrique au Brésil.  Voir le clip A Tomar Cafe.     Titres interprétés - Todo Ira Bien  Live RFI - A Tomar Cafe, extrait de l'album Bahia - Le Petit Français Live RFI   Ana Carla Maza, violoncelle, chant. Son : Benoît Letirant & Mathias Taylor.   Puis #Session Live #2 avec Guillaume de Chassy et Élise Caron qui présentent l'album L'âme des Poètes (Nomadmusic 2022).   Note d'intention autour de L'âme des poètes, voir le clip.   "Longtemps, longtemps, longtemps Après que les poètes ont disparu Leurs chansons courent encore dans les rues" Charles Trénet   L'art de créer de belles mélodies est un don inégalement distribué chez les musiciens. Trénet, Schubert, Evans, Misraki, Prokofiev et Frisell font partie de ceux qui, sans nul doute, ont reçu cette grâce poétique. Au-delà des styles, des époques et des lieux, leurs mélodies ont le pouvoir mystérieux de toucher nos âmes et nos cœurs. Qu'elles soient écrites pour la voix ou, sans paroles, pour tout autre instrument, ces chansons universelles sont mes viatiques pour traverser l'existence. Je souhaitais les célébrer à ma façon sur un même disque. Pour entreprendre ce voyage, Thomas Savy (clarinette) et Arnault Cuisinier (contrebasse) sont des compagnons irremplaçables. Comme moi, ils enjambent les frontières entre musique classique, jazz et chanson. Comme moi, ils révèrent la Mélodie – avec un grand M. Lorsque nous jouons ensemble, la notion de soliste est abolie au profit d'une conversation à voix égales où prévalent l'écoute, la confiance et la liberté. Au fil des années, notre trio a rencontré des voix remarquables : celles de Natalie Dessay, Laurent Naouri ou David Linx. Dernièrement, Élise Caron nous a entraînés dans son monde où se côtoient étrangeté, fantaisie et mélancolie. Pour nous, elle a convoqué les souvenirs délicieux de Danielle Darrieux, Lucienne Delyle, Suzy Delair et Yves Montand. Nous avons peu ou pas répété, nous abandonnant face aux micros au risque de l'instant présent. Nous avons souhaité cette fragilité, marchant main dans la main au-dessus du vide. Trop de préméditation eût peut-être effarouché les fantômes rêveurs qui circulaient parmi nous. L'âme des poètes est parfois délicate à apprivoiser... Guillaume de Chassy     Biographie de Guillaume de Chassy À la croisée du jazz et de la musique classique, le pianiste et compositeur Guillaume de Chassy a créé un univers poétique et singulier. Il est considéré comme un artiste majeur de la scène musicale française. Mélodiste et coloriste, son style privilégie la sobriété dans une esthétique sonore raffinée. Guillaume de Chassy a collaboré avec des personnalités du jazz américain et européen, comme Paul Motian, Andy Sheppard, Mark Murphy, Paolo Fresu, André Minvielle, Élise Caron, David Linx, Daniel Yvinec… Guillaume de Chassy se produit dans le monde entier au gré de ses multiples projets, du piano solo à la forme symphonique. Régulièrement saluée par la presse, sa discographie est le reflet d'une personnalité qui échappe aux classifications et d'une créativité sans cesse en éveil. Curieux de toute forme artistique, il s'investit également dans des créations alliant texte, images et musique, notamment avec les comédiennes Kristin Scott Thomas (avec laquelle il a enregistré l'album Shakespeare Songs), Vanessa Redgrave et Katja Riemann.     Biographie d'Élise Caron Élise étudie l'art dramatique, le chant et la flûte traversière au Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Rouen, puis le chant au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris. Soliste et improvisatrice à l'Orchestre national de jazz, elle collabore également à de nombreuses créations de grands noms de la musique contemporaine, du jazz et de la chanson. Au théâtre, elle interprète Shakespeare, Sophocle, Ramuz, Brecht... Sous la direction Jérôme Savary (pour La Périchole d'Offenbach), Jean-Louis Martinelli (pour L'Opéra de quat'sous et Le Brave Soldat Švejk). Plus récemment, elle a été dirigée par David Lescot pour La Chose commune – concert-spectacle sur la Commune de Paris. Au cinéma, elle a joué le premier rôle de Cocktail Molotov sous la direction de Diane Kurys et tourné avec Jean-Paul Civeyrac, Franck Guérin, Stan Neumann, Xavier Giannoli et Leos Carax. Elle a également participé à No Land's Song – documentaire d'Ayat et Sarah Najafi sur le combat contre l'interdiction faite aux femmes de chanter devant un public mixte en Iran.

Caitlin Durante (Bechdel Cast) joins us to demonstrate just how you can get blocked by your high school, over a decade after graduating from it. Hint: it involves the school mascot. There's nothing cartoony or mascot-like about the rest of the episode though, as we dive very deep into Lego for Adults as Caitlin tells us the story of building the 9000-piece replica Titanic and tries to decide exactly what to do with it now that it's finished. Meanwhile, Stefan bought himself and his partner a model kit for Christmas, but it turns out to be a lot more than he bargained for. Plus, we get into our low-key New Years Eve celebrations, Richard Karn has an NFT, Chris James pulls his best prank ever, and Caitlin tells us about her favourite brand of joke tweet.   If you want to hear many, many more joke tweets (and about jokes, and tweets), head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. We just recorded the final episode of Paranoia, the RPG series we've done with Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, Racquel Belmonte, and Josh Buergel, and it is predictable chaos. Plus, we've got brand-new Patreon tiers including a totally revamped $100 Club which will get you access to a super-secret Discord channel AND a Cameo from Stefan and John!   Caitlin Durante is a writer and podcaster whose podcast, The Bechdel Cast, can be found wherever you get your pods.

One of our most requested guests, Dave Weigel (Washington Post) is finally able to make an appearance on our show after getting the approval from the higher-ups, and it does not disappoint. Despite writing about politics and all the blocks that come with that, we dig into one of Dave's weirder blocks: Amy Schumer, who blocked him for saying Trainwreck wasn't all that good. The episode is very good though, as we obviously talk politics with Dave, like gerrymandering and the Tea Party and other important political things like the GTA remasters, Letterboxd, Bone Bone, and competitive video gaming. We also have a brief POD Kast crossover as Dave gets excited over John mentioning 311 and John introduces Dave and Stefan to the concept of a "brodel".   If you want to brodel down with us, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This past week, we released our third episode of Paranoia, the dystopian RPG, and it's our most unhinged and funny one yet. We're joined by Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, and Racquel Belmonte for what is a crazy time every time out, and this one is no exception. We also just posted the VOD of our live Family Feud episode with Jesse and Mike from YKS and former Jeopardy! champs Seth Wilson and Alex Schmidt, available at any donor level. PLUS! We have ad-free episodes and a Discord and it's all great, so check it out.   Dave Weigel is a politics writer for The Washington Post whose book, "The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock" is available everywhere you get your books. You can follow him on Twitter at @DaveWeigel.

Matt Wright (comedian) joins us for a landmark recording, as it's the earliest recording we have ever done! With Stefan out of town next weekend, the Blocked Boys were forced to record at 9 am, with some predictably delirious results. Matt gets blocked by an "Open Mic Cabaret" after a joke about cheap wine, and that sits couched in some great discussion about Home Improvement, the Deftones, Succession, and puking courtside. Plus, Stefan is very concerned about the future of internet files after failing to understand a .webp, an NBA trading cards streamer opens a coach's card, Matt tells us about growing up a Pokémon card fan, and John recaps Friday night's eventful Family Feud live episode.   Speaking of that live episode, it will be available this week on patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month (plus a live show every other month! Wow!). This week, we have the Family Feud VOD PLUS our third instalment of Paranoia comes out, as the gaming group featuring us alongside Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, and Racquel Belmonte try to finally track down their "impossible" mission. Plus we have ad-free episodes, a Discord, and lots of other fun stuff over there, so check it out!   Matt Wright is a comedian whose latest album, "Here Live, Not a Cat" is available now on his website, mattwrightcomedy.com. You can follow him on Twitter and Instagram at @MattWrightComic.

Juliana Rodrigues (comedian) joins the show to discuss how an older guy who works at a comedy venue has an extremely strange Instagram account that only shows his workplace injuries and bad pictures of his food, leading Juliana to block him. Of course, Stefan loves it. With John and Stefan just returned from their fantasy hockey boys' trip, they give all the goods on Stefan having a tough Thursday night and we learn an awful lot about everyone's puking habits. But don't worry, before long we settle in to some more "normal" conversation about eating 6 Junior Chickens in one sitting, webcams, cats, getting in an argument in the Instagram comments, and buying clothes at the airport.   If you want to save your airport clothes money and spend it on something much more fun, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE juicy bonus episodes every single month. This week, it's Paranoia 2 as our ragtag crew goes shopping for gear before heading out on our impossible mission. We are joined by Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, Racquel Belmonte, and Josh Buergel for an RPG of extreme proportions. Plus we've got lots of fun stuff coming and ad-free versions of the episodes too!   Juliana Rodrigues is a comedian and podcaster who hosts the All Good podcast, available wherever you get your pods. You can follow her on Instagram at @juliana_hooliana and on Twitter at @hooliana_.

Clare Belford (comedian) returns to the show and she's got a new view on life where she doesn't want to hear about your weight loss program, your diet, your latest fad, or just your weight in general. And she's got a block for that! We discuss how COVID has distorted everyone's view of their own bodies and it gets a bit real but it gets very nice too, which we love. And of course, we go over a bunch of not nice stuff as per usual, as we get into living in Eastern Canada, haircuts, curling fights, weird drink combinations, Pepito the Cat, and John and Stefan pull out the measuring tape to see who has the bigger head.   If you want to prove you have a big head and even bigger brains, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, we put out a Hell Block with Brett Payne where Stefan talked about being blocked by John Pavlovitz, and coming soon is the second chapter of our Paranoia saga, where we play the well-known RPG with Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, and Racquel Belmonte, which you won't wanna miss. Plus, we've got a great Discord, an ad-free version of the pod, and more! So check it out.   Clare Belford is a comedian whose debut album, The Entire Cabbage, is out now wherever you get your albums. You can follow her on Twitter at @ClareBelford and on Instagram at @clarble.

Raina Douris (NPR's World Cafe) joins the show to hearken back to her old days as a Toronto resident, as she tangles with one of the resident dirt-kickers over at Toronto's worst newspaper, the Sun. We also manage to get into chatter about one of our favourite Canadians, Frank D'Angelo, before moving on to talk The Grateful Dead, anti-vaxxers, protesting, getting punched, and hippies. Plus, we find out that Raina is on Wikifeet, John updates us on the Milk Crate Challenge, and Stefan introduces us to a detestable Republican candidate.   If you want to complete a challenge, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty and complete the "donate to your one of your favourite podcasts" challenge. It's easy to do and gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, we have the first instalment of our quest to conquer the world of Paranoia, the RPG where ourselves and Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, and Racquel Belmonte come together to try to complete an impossible mission.

Raina Douris is the host of NPR's World Cafe and can be found on Twitter and Instagram at @RahRahRaina.

Alison Rosen (podcaster, writer) joins us to warn of the dangers about posting a photo on Instagram of a recent manicure, lest people think you're too much of a narcissist. In fairness, we do manage to talk a fair amount about ourselves on the podcast, as John is forced to talk about his curling history off the top and it devolves into a long conversation about seltzer and pop consumption. We also get into laser hair removal, arguing with anti-vaxxers on Twitter, one of the craziest CNN interviews of all-time, and John discovers the all-time best name of an Olympian from the world of field hockey.   If you want to discover some all-time best things, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes a month AND our entire back catalogue, which is filled with greatness. It's a tremendous deal and we have a big August ahead with our first episode of BPD&D2, as we're going to be playing the RPG "Paranoia" with Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, and Racquel Belmonte.

Welcome to the Present Age Podcast.I’m your host Parker Molloy.On today’s show, I speak with my friend Carlos Maza. As the host of Vox’s “Strikethrough,” Carlos helped shine a light on the way the choices made by the media helped raise Donald Trump and Republicans to power.His videos, with titles like “Why every election gets its own crisis,” “How Trump makes extreme things look normal,” and “The decline of American democracy won’t be televised,” were some of the sharpest pieces of media criticism of the past five years.And then he stopped.After becoming the target of an anti-gay harassment campaign by right-wing YouTubers, Carlos was let go by Vox despite being named one of Time magazine’s 25 most influential people on the internet in 2019.I recently had a chance to chat with Carlos about all of this, and I’m really excited for you to check this out. Let’s get started.Parker Molloy: So joining me today is the wonderful, the great, the talented, the prescient Carlos Maza.Carlos Maza: Hey, Parker. Thanks for having me. It's a pleasure and an honor to be here.Yeah. Thank you so much for agreeing to come on my new podcast-type thing. It's an adventure every day over here.It's badass to watch you evolve over the years that we've been friends and it just feels like getting a front seat at a really cool story. So it's a pleasure.We took a similar path in the sense that we both maybe have gotten a bit cynical over time and not unjustifiably so.I would say my path is one marked by increasing cynicism, for sure. Yeah.Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's part of why I wanted to talk with you because the other day, I was going through and I was looking at old Vox Strikethrough videos and I rewatched all of them because one, they're very good, but two, looking back at them, it's just like, "Yes, everything he said was on point." You really broke down how Trump makes extreme things look normal, how harassment on Twitter became a giant issue, how the narrative around Antifa would keep flying up. And then also, I think this is important. It's you had one that was about the decline of American democracy and about how media generally is not equipped to deal with this.And I think that we've seen that happen more and more over the past year or two, especially and we're at this point where there are people literally trying to overthrow the government, but media still can't stop inviting these people on meet the press and whatnot and treating them like they're totally normal. So I'm just curious, how do you feel about what's happening in the world as it relates to things that you predicted would happen in the world? Things that you were pointing out were happening in the world?You mentioned cynicism, and that's my primary response to all this. Is that when I was making those videos, many of them were right at the beginning of the Trump era and then over, I think the first two or three years and it felt like sounding an alarm bell on a crisis that could maybe be averted. There was this feeling, I think for me during 2017 where I thought this might be a wake-up call. I'm sure everyone felt this way. Every week, this must be the thing that snaps things back into normalcy or back into some realistic sense of how bad things are getting. And now that we're so long away from that initial moment of weird optimism, my sense about it was just like, "Yes. I felt like I accurately described what's going on and I feel a little silly that I had hoped that things would correct themselves.”I think I still had some faith maybe in myself as a media critic, or just more broadly in the media establishment, their ability to react to crises and adjust and course correct, and I think right now, you might feel a similar way. My sense is no amount of good media criticism will change corporate media's incentives. And I think media watchdogs are valuable, but in the sense that you can move the beast, I think there's very little that good-faith criticism can do because the people who make these media calls are not operating from a journalistic priority. They're operating from essentially a business priority. Yeah, I've just become really cynical. I look back at those videos and think, "What a sweet summer child unaware of how hopeless this is."Yeah. That's how I look at a lot of my writing. A lot of my writing that I did over at Media Matters. So it was the same kind of thing. It was, "Tucker Carlson is a fake populist." It was, "Look out for the dog whistles," and stuff like that, but we ended up... Everything just kept going along as it was going along. And I wrote an article about the importance of not letting Trump and his cronies get away with trying to subvert democracy back in December. This was before January 6th, because it was clear what he was doing. And even after January 6th, there was a week or two where everyone was like, "Oh, well, we have to rethink things." And then they just went along doing the same exact things they've always done. So I feel like I am lacking in hope and optimism, which might be called for. I'm not quite sure.We both started in this weird... I think we both got to know each other and we're doing work around queer issues at around the same time and I think... I don't know. I'm curious about how you feel about it, because my sense about it when I was doing it was like, "This could help." I had some real faith that I could alter the language and behavior of journalists and that's what motivated me, and I've had to go through a real shift on my own personal work journey about what I'm trying to do and what I think is possible and what I find useful, and that shifted a lot for me. Have you felt a similar...? We both started off as these fire-brand-y activists and I don't feel like that anymore.No. Yeah. I mean, the past several years, anytime someone's used the word activist to describe me, I'm like, "Please don't. Please just don't." I mean, at one time maybe I would have been fine with it, but the more time has gone on, I went into... When I was writing articles about trans issues at The Advocate, for instance, I did that for about a year and I was operating under this assumption or this hope that by doing this, I could help enlighten the ignorant. I went into things under the assumption that by shining a light on injustices or explaining politely to people, "Hey, don't call trans women men, or maybe you don't need to include the person's former name in this article as they were not famous under that name. So there's no actual reason to add it." And stuff like that would happen constantly. And I think that there was some good that came from that.Some good, but overall the messaging is just lost. And over time, we've seen these queer-specific publications either fold or shrink down to nothingness or just have zero traffic and that aspect of things hasn't been picked up by mainstream outlets. And that's scary to me, but at the same time, I wonder if it even matters and that's where I'm at.Yeah. My sense is like I think I had a very rosy belief in the arc of the moral universe and things always slowly getting better, which is I think a luxury/hangover of the Obama years to some extent, and that feeling has been... I've had to grapple with that sense of I ended up part of some big inevitably successful project. What I do matters very little in the grand scheme of things and how do you try to fight for a better world when you get a sense that it might not matter, or if it matters, it's not because of you? And that's been a real... I was curious to how you felt about it because I think we both went through a collapse of faith maybe around the same time or a collapse of optimism and it's fucked me up as a writer and as a creator and looking back at my old Vox videos, I'm like, "I'm a very different person now in my heart, even if the arguments they make would be singled out."Yeah. I feel the same way. I feel like a lot of my earlier writing, even though it came off in that firebrand-y activist-y approach, even though that was what I was doing then, I feel like I came to it with such a different energy. And now it's just this sort of, "Well, if things are bad, things are always bad. Things will continue to be bad. They'll probably get worse." And I don't want to feel that way. I want to feel optimism, but I want to feel optimism with justification. I want to feel justified optimism and I don't. And I think that the power of media generally is important. And I think that some of the flaws that have happened along the way, really come down to the fact that you'll have places like CNN's Reliable Sources, for instance, that show. They'll have the same people on constantly to talk about, "Oh this newspaper in that town," or they'll have Ben Shapiro or Eric Erickson on or whoever, and what are we learning?What are we doing? What's changing? And I think that there's this reluctance to put people who really challenged the narratives that are pushed in media out there. The whole time that you were making these videos for Media Matters and Vox and on your own as well, it just blew my mind that you weren't being constantly booked on TV, because everything you were saying made perfect sense. And when I would use that to try to show someone who really meant well and wanted to learn something different, it would be effective. The way that you presented arguments was always so straightforward, but not condescending, which I think is really important, and I think it would've done a lot of good for CNN, MSNBC, whatever to put you on air, but that didn't really happen and made me lose a little faith in...Not that I had much faith in corporate media, but it made me lose the remaining amount of faith that I had, because they would rather keep putting the same old, same old people back on and making the same arguments and pretending that they're not seeing what's happening in the world and it's beyond frustrating.What have you been up to because that is something that you were everywhere and in 2019, was it Time Magazine? Said you were one of the 25 most influential people on the internet, which was very impressive. I was like, "Wow, that's awesome." But then you did your own thing and then you haven't really uploaded in quite a while. What have you been up to?Yeah, it's been such a weird experience. I had my big falling out with YouTube and lost my job and everything and I think I just had a period afterward that was right before the pandemic and then I went independent in February and then the pandemic started. And I think honestly, the citizen that we're describing in terms of politics, to me has aligned with the broader anxiety or confusion about purpose and meaning in life. I don't mean to get too heady about this, but the last video I uploaded on my channel on my birthday in April was about Overcome with the Plague and it was like an existentialist reflection on trying to do good in the world that seems inevitably doomed and took me forever to make that video because I was trying to describe something that I think even after making it, I grappled to talk to people about, which is this, I don't know, this grappling with purpose.I think this might just be me, but I certainly feel hyper-aware of living in an era where it does feel a little bit like the world is ending, at least in some meaningful way. I spent, I would say, four years at the end of Media Matters and at Vox working my ass off to make these videos that I thought were so important and truly, they consumed my whole life. My whole identity was making these videos and I was staying late at work every day and my whole sense of self-worth was wrapped up in these videos. And I think to have it fall apart so catastrophically, to very publicly get fired and to lose myself, lose my identity, to get dogpiled, to have everyone worrying about me and to lose it all I think forced a real... It's still forcing a real examination of who the f**k am I? What makes me happy? What do I want to do in this limited time on earth?So I don't have a great answer to the question of what I want to do with my time, but I think to answer your question about where have I been, I feel like I've just been wandering through my life a little bit, trying to figure out what I want to keep. I know I don't want to work as hard as I did when I was at Vox because it made me a really unhappy person. I know I don't want to be as angry as I've been because my anger wasn't making the world better and I don't think it was making me happy, and I know again, sorry if this is a bit too heavy, but I know I can't save the world.I would like to spend a little more time saving myself and that means it's more time taking therapy seriously, growing plants in my apartment, spending time with friends, fostering a cat, doing small things that I think keep me grounded in a world that feels often ungrounded and I'm trying to unlearn the lesson I learned when I was at Vox and I think to some extent, Media Matters, which is your only worth and happiness comes from making a big famous thing and becoming successful, and it doesn't. So I wish I had a really sexy answer. My honest answer is I feel lost and I'm trying to be okay with lostness right now because I don't really know a way out of it.That's not something I've talked to people about, obviously, because it's embarrassing and shameful in some ways, and I think on the internet, or especially on Twitter where you and I spend a lot of time, it's a weird thing to admit. To go from this time person who's supposed to be really successful and popular to being like, "I don't know if I want to be as public anymore. I don't know if I want to talk to people anymore. I don't know if I want to have my identity wrapped up in a performance that I can't control all the time."The Present Age is a reader-supported newsletter. While a free version of the newsletter exists, paid subscriptions make this work possible.Yeah. It's funny that you brought up existentialism just because, I mean, I named my newsletter and this podcast after Kierkegaard's The Present Age. So it's the same sort of idea. It's the same sort of stuff that I've been going through myself and in that same sense of, "Okay. Trying to find meaning in life and purpose, and I don't feel like there's anything that we're supposed to do or that there's anything that we're supposed to work towards. I feel like a lot of the time, it's just nothing and we have to figure out what we want to work towards, what we want our imprint on the world to be. And over time, it's that same situation where I put so much time and energy into writing articles about various issues and then six months later, I find myself in a position where, "Okay, it looks like I need to write that same article again because no one listened last time."And after a couple years of that, it just got to this point where I realized I'm just not making the kind of impact that I want on the world while also leaving Media Matters, I viewed it as a personal failing on my part for not being good enough or persuasive enough or the right personality or the right person to get these messages across that I still believe in and still think are important. I still like everyone over at Media Matters and enjoyed working for them and wouldn't trade that for the world, but at the same time, I felt like I was spinning my wheels. I was telling the same story over and over and over, and I want to tell a new story, a different story, a more important story, a broader story that we can all relate to. And I think first to do that, it's important to really start to whittle away at all the b******t that's out there and that's why I wanted to do this more free-wheeling kind of, "I'm going to write about whatever I feel like writing about.I'm going to interview people about whatever I want to interview them about," type of situation because I'm genuinely pretty curious about what everyone's been doing with their lives in this weird year that the pandemic has brought to us. You have bands that have had to cancel tours and they're playing these weird streaming shows that are odd and I'm not... It's clearly not what they want to do. It's clearly not what their fans want. Everyone's operating at this level of, "Well, the best we can do right now is whatever." Even if it's an in-person concert, it's yeah, sure. But ideally, we would be going to concerts in these places where there isn't a virus just running rampant and that's the subtext of everything I do, is that we're in a world that is just flawed for all of us.And the way that we communicate with each other is the only thing that there is left and it's been really interesting talking to people about this because it makes me feel less alone, if that makes any sense, to know that we're all going through some sort of different levels of horrific world events around us as it does seem like the world is ending in its own ways. And part of me wonders whether this is something that is somewhat unique to our generation, or if this is a feeling that everyone has had along the way, and that is the big question. Am I being too pessimistic or am I seeing things exactly as they are? And I still don't quite know the answer and that's why having these conversations is so important to me and so fulfilling in a different way.Because both of us have had these careers that were very... I mean, we have both been very front-facing. Our names and our identities are wrapped up in our work and writing and I think both of us have personas that we at least for some portion of time performed online that are not totally identical to our real personas. I think we both are much... Especially when we first started working in the same spaces, are much more aggressive online than I think we are as people normally. And I have gone through this feeling and I wonder if you feel too, having this desire to retreat intensely and reclaim my identity and hide away from the rules for a bit.And I'm trying to think about authors who would write a book and then go on sabbatical for five years and be like, "I'm not saying s**t for five years until I have another book at me." Well, we don't really get that luxury because we were just constantly making arguments. Do you feel that desire to retreat and almost protect your identity from even friendly audiences and how have you managed that? Because I get the sense that your relationship to online identity has shifted significantly over the years that we've known each other and I know that mine has too.Absolutely.And I'm curious where your head is at with that stuff.Yeah. I absolutely have felt that and I'm still in that weird position where I mean, first off, if someone is... If you manage a coffee shop or something or a factory, or if you're a CEO at a very successful company, whatever the case may be, it's not about being online constantly. A lot of people are online constantly for their own reasons, but in our positions, it was crucial to making a living is being online. That has been something that through, I mean, the past few years of therapy that I've been doing, a lot of it has centered on this idea of how do I deal with something that is making me feel terrible about myself and feel sad and feel angry all the time, which is social media, the internet, people, while also realizing that that is so core to what I'm doing and what I do with my life?And that's part of why I decided to try this solo thing because at Media Matters, there's no out. You can't just go, "I'm not going to pay attention to Vox this week," because then you're not paying attention to whatever's happening in the world because a lot of the work revolved around what is happening in right wing media. And I still keep up with this stuff, but I've already started to feel less anxious now that tracking exactly what Tucker Carlson is saying every night or what Sean Hannity is saying isn't my job. It's not my core job. It makes me feel better about myself and what I'm doing in the world, even if at the same time, it feels like it's giving up in a sense.Yeah. That phrase, “giving up” really resonates with me, because I think especially at a place like Media Matters or even just monitoring conservative media, there is this impulse I think you have as a media watcher that you need to be constantly drinking from the fire hose and just everything needs to be responded to and everything needs to be corrected. And I think one shift that's happened in my mind over the course of the Trump administration and the Trump campaign was something is happening here that has basically nothing to do with people having correct information and something being fact-checked enough. Know about the fact-checking to me, felt like it made a shred of difference to people who were ideologically committed to this and I think especially going into Media Matters, I had this real belief in people's good faith and the sense that debunking works as a persuasive strategy that I don't have anymore.And I think even my work was built around this sense of, "I need to make a video every three weeks and respond to anything that's coming up, or if it doesn't get responded to, it'll spiral out of control." And I made those videos for three weeks and I was constantly at the office and it did not matter in any meaningful way. So I think I'm in this phrase, this period of if I cannot stop the fire hose, the fire's going to happen no matter what. And the people who I disagree with are not super interested in whether or not I can fact check them or debunk them, what can I do this meaningful? And I think for me making a video like How to be Hopeless, or the video that I'm working on now in critical race theory is starting from this place of I accept defeat when it comes to persuading those who don't see eye to eye with me on this.I know that I cannot win that fight. If I'm talking to those who are interested in what I have to say, what can I do for them? And it's just a very different skill set and objective. Trying to speak to people whose hearts are aligned with yours is a different skill set and I think a little bit tougher. I find it much harder to write now that I've given up on debunking because fact-checking is easy. Really just to point out that something is wrong and find evidence for it. Trying to, I don't know, speak to someone who's in the same place of despair and have them understand the world a little bit better, or even feel less alone like you described is tougher as a writer and as a persuader, and I find that I struggle much more now with figuring out what is there to say that's useful? Because I don't feel like saying, "That's not true, that's not true, that's not true," is useful anymore and I would like to use my time more wisely.So I don't really... Even though we've been doing this for a long time, I feel like an amateur again. I'm not quite sure how to make the argument because I don't know what I'm trying to persuade someone off right now.Absolutely. Oh, that resonates so much. It's funny that so far, us talking has just been a lot of, "Yes, yes." But it's true. It's fascinating to me, I mean, just talking to you about these shared experiences that we had. Even if they were at different times in our lives is helpful and hopeful in a weird way that it doesn't make me feel like a total failure and I think that is what I'm grappling with right now is trying to figure out how to feel like less of a failure in life and less of someone who just does a lot of talking and not a lot of listening and doesn't really make a difference. I've been trying to figure out different ways to connect and that video, that How to Be Hopeless was just a fantastic video.Thanks.I'll be sure to link in the transcript of this. I make a point of getting full transcripts of every interview I do just for the sake of accessibility and whatnot, and aside from being expensive, it's very nice to have and it's a nice way to add little extras in there with links to YouTube videos and whatnot. The one other thing I wanted to ask you about, when it comes to the topic of cancel culture and all of that sort of stuff, when we hear people talk about that and use that, I see that as people talk about, "Oh, well this writer...." Andrew Sullivan got criticized for race science or something ridiculous that yeah, he's going to get criticized for and that was “cancel culture” for criticizing him. So he's going to leave and he's going to take a quarter-million dollars or whatever it was and everyone's going to feel bad for him because he was "canceled". And you see that happen all over the place.Yes.Steven Crowder, for instance, constantly... He's always been “canceled” because he was criticized or YouTube took him offline for a week to say, "Don't do it again." And then he's going to do it again. But when it comes down to it, the people who are affected by these things are the ones that typically don't have the kind of megaphone to get the "Help. I've been canceled," message out to the world and I saw that happen with you and with Vox. I mean, I feel like you were making a good point.You made a video pointing out how Crowder was just attacking you and clearly violating YouTube's rules. And as much as Vox initially publicly came out in your corner, it seems like they hung you out to dry. I'm not sure if you want to speak on that at all, but it depresses me because I cannot believe that it's the fact that they're a company in their corporation, it's not necessarily mission-driven or even worried about what the function of a company is, but in retrospect, do you think the things...? They could have done something different or that they didn't have your back enough or was everything fine? I don't know.Yeah. I mean, the humorously detached view of it is I spent all my time criticizing the way that corporate media prioritizes profit and finances over editorial good judgment. So then when I lost my job because I threatened Vox's financial interests as a partner, it was like, "Right. This makes sense. I should not be surprised." And I think the danger of any media critic at a media organization is invariably the things you're criticizing are going to happen in the place that you work too. My feeling about it is I don't have a ton of confusion about what happened to me. I'm very clear that the argument I'm making was right, the reasons that I was let go didn't really make any sense. Vox's trying to sell a show to YouTube that made them a lot of money. You could not run ads on my show because I was running a political show. So it makes sense. And I don't have a lot of anger because I feel like I've grieved that thing that happens enough that I'm not mad. I get it.You don't get mad at a lion for hunting prey because that's what a lion does. And you of course, think what happened to me, it was really painful, but I don't have any confusion about the fact the lion was hungry and I was prey and Vox did what they had to do. I will say that beyond my anger or frustration with Vox, I had to go through this own reckoning of did I f**k up? Did I do something that was wrong or stupid? And was there something...? The way you described after leaving Media Matters of like, "Was I just not the right person? Could I have said this differently?" And now that I've got some space from it, I can look back and be like, "I am really proud of how I handled myself." That was a very difficult, painful thing to go through and my only motivation in it was, "Fight like hell for what's right, even if you think you're going to lose." And I fought like hell for what was right. I still think I'm right. I still think I did it correctly.I still think my argument is solid and I like who I was during that and I'm still really proud of that person who I am now. The flip side of that is it does not shield you from suffering and punishment. It's been a very, very bad... It was a very painful experience and I think I'm still grappling with the pain of it and this sense of like, "It doesn't matter how good you are. The good people are not always rewarded and this has nothing to do with you being good or bad." There's no way you could've phrased this that would have been different. You just lost. The video of How to be Hopeless is ostensibly about grappling with grief at the end of the world, but for me writing it, it was also about you can't stop the plaque. If you're in the way, sometimes you just die. If this gets for me like dying is like losing my job and losing my identity as a public speaker, and rather than be angry about it forever, I had to just talk to myself and say, "I really like you."“I'm glad you did this. If this is it for my career, that's okay." You're just one person and just live a decent life. So my existentialism is part, me grappling with COVID and Trump, and part of me grappling with feeling like I really tried my best and lost. And how do you make peace with losing it and not use it as a weapon against yourself and say, "I'm such a f**k up. I should have done this differently. I should have phrased it differently." And just being like, "Yeah, I lost, but I did not lose myself and I tried to maintain my integrity and act in a way that was aligned with my moral judgment and I feel like I did that." Even though that doesn't shield you from pain at all. It doesn't shield you from shame or feelings of worthlessness, you just have to work through it. Sorry, that's a very fluffy answer, but it's an answer based on a lot of therapy.No. Yeah, I totally get it. And I get that it's complicated. Part of what to me on the outside stood out was that you were being framed as this... The argument for instance with Crowder and others on the right would push was, "Oh, you are the corporate one and he's just a little guy." I mean, he's loaded. He has so much power and influence and I would assume money. And you were being framed as the big corporate dude, which we both know wasn't accurate and it really hits home how life just sometimes is not fair and it's not right and I don't know. Would you have done anything differently in that particular situation or does it not matter given that we're moving past it? Have you thought about that at all?Yeah. I mean, the only thing I would have done differently was I would say the first eight weeks that it was this big public thing, I was so on the defense and in activist mode that I just had this exterior of like, "Nothing f***s with me. I'm not phased. Everything is funny. These people don't intimidate me. I'm not scared." Part of that is true. You and I had both been in the trenches online for a long time. We've dealt with a lot of harassment and s**t like that. A part of me was very solid and had no doubt. There was another part of me that was being traumatized about what was going on, and there were sessions where my therapist was like, "Are you good? I know you're talking about how you're okay, but this is trauma. Are you good?" And I'll be like, "I'm fine." And my family would be like, "Are you okay?" And I would say, "I'm fine."And I was putting on a brave face for everyone else, but also for myself because I didn't want to admit that I was getting fucked about what's going on, and eventually, I did have a breakdown privately and really have to deal with the fact that I mean, I was getting PTSD and was having all these bananas anxieties about being afraid in public spaces. I just want to... I wish I would've given myself enough compassion earlier on to be like, "Publicly, you're this tough guy and this is fine, privately, you need to let yourself be okay being fucked up by what's going on." You can only fight for so long before your emotions decide to find you and say, "Now we're having a breakdown," but I really just...My only thought when that was going on at first was like, "Survive, survive, survive, survive," and there's just not a lot of room when you're in that defensive posture to be like, "I'm okay, but this really, really hurts and I feel very scared right now." So that's what I would've changed. But in terms of the argument that I made and my choice to make it, I look back and I'm like, "Badass. That was badass," and that's how I think I feel about it. Badass.Yeah. Well, that's great. This has been a great discussion. This has been a great conversation. I've really enjoyed this.Me too.This is wonderful and thanks so much for coming on my new podcast that hopefully more people will listen to as time goes on.Of course. I got to say because we both [inaudible] on similar trajectories or both have been dancing in the same space for a while, I'm like whatever else happens to us, I'm very grateful that you and I have fought on the same side for a while and got to grow up with each other in this space, and convos like this... I think being an online persona can be very lonely in some ways and almost this reminds me that while the experience is often lonely, you're often lonely alongside other very good people. So I'm glad that I'm alongside you in this.Yeah. Thanks. And I mean, I'm just glad that we're friends.Same.In addition to all of that.Yeah.

Anna Carla a grandi dans une famille de musiciens. Fille du célèbre pianiste chilien Carlos Maza et de la guitariste cubaine Mirza Sierra, elle se nourrissait, enfant, de musique. Ses parents aimaient beaucoup le violoncelle et c'est naturellement, qu'elle a commencé à en jouer. Le Jazz l'a aussi accompagnée depuis toute petite. Anna Carla Maza aime le jazz, sa liberté, son ouverture. Aujourd'hui, son répertoire est comme un voyage à la fois inspiré et imaginaire dans l'Amérique du Sud. Elle a grandi à Cuba où son père s'est installé après avoir fui le Chili. C'est sur cette île qu'elle s'est imprégnée d'airs, de rythmes et d'accords avant de poursuivre ses études en Europe. Dans ses chansons, elle revisite les musiques traditionnelles de son enfance, de la bossa nova brésilienne à la habanera cubaine. Rythmes lents, mélodies pop, harmonies jazz et techniques classiques se rencontrent pour créer un univers d'une maturité détonante modelé par une voix suave, des pizzicati percussifs et un archet aérien. Fascinée par le violoncelliste français Vincent Courtois, la musicienne a été soutenue par Vincent Ségal qui jouait avec son père. Soutenez-nous !

Because this is not the Earth of Joe Biden's childhood.This week, we take a break from the inside-the-beltway negotiations, zoom out, and ask the important questions: Is the stable foundation of human civilization unraveling? Does anyone or anything have the power to hold the apocalypse at bay? Journalist David Wallace-Wells synthesizes climate science to deduce whether we are still living on planet Earth, and what it means for the future if we're not. Then journalist Kate Aronoff takes us on a tour through inadequate solutions and false hopes for planetary salvation, before explaining why the U.S federal government, for better or worse, has the power to stop the apocalypse -- or to seal our fate.Waleed reveals he is actually an animal rights activist before having an existential crisis about the absurdity of American politics. Our guests and their work:The Uninhabitable Earth: LIFE AFTER WARMINGBy DAVID WALLACE-WELLSOverheated: How Capitalism Broke the Planet--And How We Fight Backby Kate AronoffAdditional readings and references:Carlos Maza's video essay ‘Why you still don't understand the Green New Deal'What Does '12 Years to Act on Climate Change' (Now 11 Years) Really Mean?Q&A: How do climate models work?Scientists have gotten predictions of global warming right since the 1970sSPECIAL REPORT: GLOBAL WARMING OF 1.5 ºC: Summary for PolicymakersWhat would it take to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C?The Paris Agreement set an unrealistic target for global warming.

Episode 557: Italy is closed – Coronavirus shuts down Italy – Carlos Maza slams the wealthy but lived in luxury -TFATK REACT To Pete Davidson Going Hard on Louis CK

Oh, so now that a Republican congressman has called the coronavirus the Wuhan virus, the term is suddenly racist. Never mind the many, many mainstream outlets that have called the virus by the same name since the outbreak began. When journalists are bored or have nothing intelligent to offer, they make up racism. Then, Carlos Maza, internet socialist, built a career on advocating harming political opponents and bringing about a socialist revolution. Turns out, dude comes from an American Dream success story! Wonder why he didn't want his followers to know his mommy is a multimillionaire. Lastly, BlazeTV host Lauren Chen joins Jon Miller to discuss the disturbing downward trend of dropping testosterone rates. What does this mean for the future of Western civilization?

In this episode, I address the outrageous media response to the Coronavirus, which is contributing to the panic. I also address the shameless reintroduction of the false 2016 election narratives by the left.  News Picks: Stock markets open sharply down. Christopher Steele is back! Why does Fiona Hill continue to embarrass herself? Are “hidden” Trump voters the key to 2020 election success? IRS data shows that the liberals big government plans will bankrupt us. Another liberal fraud exposed! YouTube socialist Carlos Maza slams the “wealthy” but lives in luxury.  Coverage of our Friday show, where we revealed new information about the Spygate scheme.  Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved.

Carlos Maza exposed as being a total hypocrite and has welathy parents bankrolling him! Is anyone surprised by this? No. The answer is no. Watch the full episode on youtube here: https://youtu.be/O_0FPFSp7-Y

It wasn't long ago that Carlos Maza was making his vehement hatred of YouTube known because the company gave a platform to BlazeTV's own Steven Crowder. Today, Maza ironically finds himself trying to start an independent career on YouTube, where he un-ironically has a platform to call for communist revolution.

For this week's episode, we're diving into the Sewers of Paris archive to revisit a chat with the wonderful Carlos Maza. You may know Carlos from the brilliant videos he's produced, analyzing news and media. Or you might know him from the big queer fuss he caused last year when he shone a spotlight on the rampant harassment and discrimination problem faced by YouTube. Carlos and I spoke back in 2017 about his nerdiest interests — role playing and video games, a medium in which he's given a lot of thought to whether he identifies as a fighter or a healer? In his videos, Carlos puts up a strong verbal fight. But offscreen, the role in which he's most at home is that of caretaker, looking after others and supporting the well being of those around him. But as he's found, that doesn't always leave time for taking care of himself.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First I want to let you know about a whole bunch of live shows that I'm hosting in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. You've probably heard me mention my live comedy show and podcast Queens of Adventure, which features drag queens playing Dungeons & Dragons. We'll be taking the stage at Re-Bar in Seattle on March 12, and then at Emerald City Comic Con on March 13; then we're doing two in Portland at the Siren Theater on March 18 and 19; and then even more at Oasis in San Francisco on March 25 and 29. Our Queens of Adventure live shows are a ton of fun, basically a big queer improvised comedy story powered by unpredictable dice rolls and a rowdy audience. Tickets are now on sale at QueensOfAdventure.com — I hope to see you at those shows!

Johnny Depp was recently cancelled over allegations of abuse from ex-wife Amber Heard, but now, new photos and audio leaks show that Depp himself suffered abuse at the hands of Heard. Some are still asserting Heard only acted in self-defense, but in either case, what can this story tell us about cancel culture and innocent until proven guilty? Then, a French teenager sparks a debate of free speech vs. hate speech when criticizing Islam, Carlos Maza starts his YouTube career, and a Catholic hospital is being sued for refusing to perform gender reassignment surgery.

Never one to let the clamor die down, YouTube has announced a brand new harassment and cyberbullying policy. But while arguably well-intentioned, could the vagaries of the new rules (and explanatory blog post accompanying them) leave creators more confused than ever?

In this episode, Garreth and I talk about the importance of shows like SNL in the public discourse, the 2020 election, YouTube Demonitization, and Garreth's musical journey in Nashville. Just an aside, I misquoted the Carlos Maza situation at first but I do later correct myself in the podcast. I incorrectly referred to him as a buzzfeed reporter but he actually was a Vox reporter.

This week, the Carl boys break down Carlos Maza's (of Vox and Media Matters infamy) attack on conservative comedian Steven Crowder and discuss the problems big tech has with free speech in general.

5 Things to Know About Regulating Internet SpeechThe Powder Keg – YouTube recently “demonetized” hundreds of controversial channels, after an on-going spat between conservative comedian Steven Crowder and liberal Vox writer Carlos Maza. The host of Louder with Crowder repeatedly mocked Maza's flambuoyant personae (aka the “gay wonk”) and ethnicity, and Maza roused a Twitter mob to get YouTube to remove him altogether. YouTube's kept the videos up, but took Crowder's ad dollars — pleasing virtually nobody, as Reason's Robby Soave pointed out. The Legal Issue - Some kinds of speech, such as incitements to violence, are clearly not protected by the 1st amendment, while “hate speech,” or offensive speech, is not clearly defined. Under Section 230 of the Decency in Communications Act (1996), online platforms like YouTube can set their own guidelines for acceptable speech but are continuing to come under scrutiny for alleged bias against conservatives.The Proposed Remedy – Trump is talking about antitrust to break up Big Tech monopolies, but most scholars think this is impractical. Republican Senator Josh Hawley just introduced a law to essentially revive the “Fairness Doctrine,” and stop biased censorship of conservatives. This Sunday, I'll speak to Frank Buckley about his middle-ground idea for a governmental check on “woke” social media censorship.The Unintended Consequences – Elizabeth Nolan Brown points out that Hawley's bill would likely make censorship against conservatives worse. The bill would require companies to reapply with the Federal Trade Commission every two years to prove that they are operating in a politically neutral manner. Ultimately, this would mean censoring vastly more political content, Brown notes.A Quote to Ponder :“There's always someone we're laughing at, and that person is going to take offense. If it's a conservative laughing at a liberal, even a liberal who seems to be asking for it, even someone who dishes it out but can't take it, like the butt of Crowder's laughter, that's when the progressive social media censors step in.” - Frank Buckley, How to stop the 'woke' social media censors, NY Post, June 10, 2019
