On this episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay welcomes Matthew Raymer—founder of ContentSafe—for a deep dive into the tangled intersections of propaganda, technology, and freedom of speech. Raymer, whose company ContentSafe specializes in protecting creators from deplatforming and shadowbanning, brings firsthand experience from the front lines of digital censorship. As a technologist and advocate for decentralization, his work with the Anti-Censorship Technical Committee centers on supporting privacy and anti-censorship projects to ensure open discourse in a world increasingly threatened by digital suppression. The episode explores the enduring relevance of Jacques Ellul, author of Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes, who argued that propaganda is not just about lies or overt manipulation, but about shaping perceptions and behavior through the integration of individuals into mass society, often using technology as its primary vehicle. Expect a nuanced discussion of Ellul's theories—how propaganda works both psychologically and sociologically, and how it leverages technology to mold both individuals and the collective consciousness. From there, the conversation widens to examine the uneasy relationship between science, religion, and technology in the age of technocracy. How does the advance of artificial intelligence threaten or enhance religious freedom and individual rights? Recent research suggests that AI and increased digitalization can negatively impact religious liberties and reshape social norms, raising urgent questions about the ethical and political implications of rapid technological change. Raymer and Turner won't shy away from the most taboo and controversial subjects—those very topics that often trigger shadowbans and algorithmic suppression. They'll dissect the geopolitics of censorship, the rise of authoritarian and democratic models of AI, and the ongoing struggle to keep the digital public square open to dissenting voices. Tune in for a fearless, wide-ranging conversation that cuts through the noise and challenges the boundaries of what can—and should—be discussed in our increasingly surveilled and censored digital society. ▶Follow & Connect with Matthew Raymer: ✩ ContentSafe ✩ The Anti-Censorship Technical Committee ✩ Twitter ____________________________________________________________________ ▶ GET On-Demand Access for Courtenay's Cognitive Liberty Conference https://cognitivelibertyconference.com ----------------------------------------- ▶ Follow & Connect with Courtenay: https://www.courtenayturner.com ✩ Linktree ▶ Support my work & Affiliate links: ✩Buy Me A Coffee! ✩GiveSendGo ✩Venmo ✩Cash App ✩ Richardson Nutritional Center: (B-17!) ✩ Relax Far Infrared Saunas: (Warm Up!)

Some believe AI levels the playing field. Will these tools castrate human creativity and imagination instead? Making everyone seem superficially clever but without an ounce of depth?   New surveys indicates the left is increasingly embracing assassination and political violence as a whole. Duh. We needed a poll to tell us that? The media is asking why. The answer is surprisingly simple and resides in my archives: propaganda's goal is to create proselytes and militants; fanatics who are primed to take political action at a moment's notice. Bernie blew that oligarch whistle last month while Black Barry (bam ba lam) upped the agitation ante last week. Will run-of-the-mill conservative ever bother to respond or are they content posting memes?     Like it? Rate, review, and share it! Hate it? Send it to a co-worker you loathe!   More: https://toddzillax.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjdLR140l--HufeRSAnj91A

In his 1962 book, Propaganda, Jacques Ellul outlines three conditions for propaganda's success. Bombard people with excessive information so they will forget, always have “breaking news” so they do not reflect or think critically, and have no North Star or standard to measure deviation. As Christians we are called to remember, called to think, and called to follow our certain and firm North Star. Dr. Stephen J. Nichols, president of Reformation Bible College and chief academic officer for Ligonier Ministries, discussed how a Christian worldview speaks to these conditions and encourages us to both speak and live truthfully in difficult times.Support the show

In 2014 Rabbi Sacks recorded six thoughts for Ellul, providing wisdom and guidance as he reflected on the year gone by, and the new year soon to begin. In this final message of the 'Thoughts for Ellul' mini-series, Rabbi Sacks discusses Professor Reuven Feuerstein, and draws a parallel between his highly-esteemed work as a child psychologist and our relationship with God. Recorded ten years ago, this remains a timeless message for us all, particularly as we may wish to reflect on our spirituality as Rosh Hashanah draws ever closer.

ELLUL 3 DONT DELAY!

ELLUL 2 OPEN HEARTS FOR CHANGE

ELLUL 1 BE WARY

Many of our neighbors have succumbed to what the French philosopher Jacques Ellul called “the political illusion.” What is it, and what can we do to resist it? Here are a couple of resources mentioned on today's episode: Ellul explained the “political illusion” in his 1965 book L'illusion politique. It was published in English in 1967. To read my interview with Christopher Watkin, click here.) According to a recent Gallup survey, a majority of Americans now believe abortion should be legal in all or most circumstances. That finding represents a significant shift in attitude in just the past few years. To read about the pastor's conference hosted by Turning Point USA, click on our report here.

Être sincère avec soi-même serait une vertu, un comportement qui traduirait une capacité à l'honnêteté et à la clairvoyance. Or, Jacques Ellul ne partage pas ce point de vue. Pour lui, "être sincère avec soi-même" serait en réalité un moyen de masquer notre égoïsme et notre refus des contraintes. Pourquoi ? Explication dans cet épisode.

Jung et Ellul ont été contemporains mais ne se sont pas connus. Joël Decarsin vient nous présenter leur pensée dialectique. Comment Ellul et Jung nous permettent-ils de comprendre les enjeux de notre monde contemporain ? Pourquoi la technique nous mène-t-elle par le bout du nez ? Pourquoi des concepts nouveaux (l'intelligence artificielle, les théories du complot, la post-vérité) sont-ils à ce point paradoxaux ?

Nearly everyone thinks the world has gone off the rails, and nearly everyone has a theory why, from kids these days to the moral breakdown of the West to the internet. We return to the conversation started by French Protestant philosopher Jacques Ellul more than 80 years ago, and find him startlingly, alarmingly prescient. In this episode we consider his proposal that technique, in the sense of efficient means by technological instruments, has become our all-defining reality, and answer the question that haunted us some time back: is it propaganda all the way up and all the way down? (Yes.) Notes: 1. Ellul, Presence in the Modern World and Propaganda 2. Plekon, Hidden Holiness, Saints As They Really Are, Living Icons 3.

A followup to the last episode. After watching our indoctrinated sleeper cells come to life, it's a good time to revisit Ellul's book, Propaganda, and put it thru the filter of the last few weeks.    Notes from 2019: Ellul's ideas on pre-propaganda, propaganda's conditioned reflexes, myths, and "orthopraxy". Including the triggering of active and passive action (activists, influencers, collaborators), widespread participation by "committed" zealots, the separation between thought and action, exploiting the abyss between what we say and what we do, mobilizing men for action counter to their own values, and being unable to reverse ourselves once "action" has begun.   Jacques Ellul's "Propaganda": https://www.amazon.com/Propaganda-Formation-Attitudes-Jacques-Ellul/dp/0394718747 Like it?

We've made this one public so you can get a taste of what's going on behind the scenes at Theory Underground. Critical Media Theory (CMT) (on the 2nd Sunday of every month 9:00 AM Pacific / 12:00 PM Eastern) may be the most popular and cutting edge field/subject-matter at TU. It's about what we all have in common: Devices that mediate our sensory experience, filter existence, and structure our habits. The McKerracher-Snelgrove synthesis (Dave and Ann) bring a unique teaching approach that combines thinkers such as Marx, McLuhan, Heidegger, Arendt, Baudrillard, Lacan, Ellul, Virilio, Steigler, with popular bestsellers on the topics of smartphone distraction, social media addiction, and more. Through these lecture sessions, the monthly practical experiment/assignments, and presentation/publishing opportunities, students of CMT are able to develop themselves as researchers who are co-pioneering the most relevant field of the most mediated century known to humankind.   ABOUT / CREDITS / LINKS   How to get involved with weekly, monthly, or once-in-a-lifetime events (including the lecture series you watched here!) https://docs.google.com/document/d/19pOkceYZGixxcrPcJBv3uzdG3IevZ1ApX1vDi7YpQnY/edit?usp=sharing   Become a monthly TU Tier Subscriber to access past, ongoing, and upcoming courses, special events, office hours, clubs, and critical feedback that will help you evolve your comprehension capacities and critical faculties, via the website here: https://theoryunderground.com/product/tu-subscription-tiers/   Don't have time for that but want to help anyway?

Modern views on how future technology is likely to change our lives range from bloviatingly aspirational visions of utopia to musings on whether the latest advancement in AI will destroy humankind in our lifetime or merely enslave us all in Matrix-style battery capillaries.  Yet debates on whether technology is a neutral tool for our benefit or a near-unstoppable force leading us to a particular destiny are nothing new.  In 1964, French philosopher and sociologist Jacques Ellul wrote The Technological Society, in which he argued technology had a totalizing effect that could potentially dehumanize our world in its never-ending effort to make all things efficient and “useful”.   While he's somewhat critical of Ellul's determinism, this episode's guest—Jason Thacker—gleans much wisdom from Ellul's warnings.  Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis and Jason Thacker discuss competing views of technology and how they might help us for a foundation for dealing with the technological challenges we face in our digital public square.   About Jason Thacker From https://jasonthacker.com/ Jason Thacker serves as an assistant professor of philosophy and ethics at Boyce College in Louisville, KY.  He also is a research fellow in Christian ethics and director of the research institute at The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.  He is the author of several books including Following Jesus in the Digital Age and The Age of AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity.  He also serves as the editor of The Digital Public Square: Christian Ethics in a Technological Society and co-editor of the Essentials in Christian Ethics series with B&H Academic.  He is the project leader and lead drafter of Artificial Intelligence: An Evangelical Statement of Principles, and his work has been featured at Slate, Politico, The Week, USA Today, Christianity Today, World Magazine, The Gospel Coalition, and Desiring God.   He is a graduate of The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies.  He also holds a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he is currently a PhD candidate in ethics, public theology, and philosophy.  He serves as an associate fellow with the Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology in Cambridge, an advisor for AI and Faith, fellow in science and technology at the Land Center for Cultural Engagement at Southwestern Seminary, and a research fellow with the ERLC Research Institute.  He is married to Dorie and they have two sons.   You can follow Jason on Twitter @jasonthacker   About The Digital Public Square Brooke was one of the contributing writers to the recently published book The Digital Public Square.  In The Digital Public Square, editor Jason Thacker has chosen top Christian voices to help the church navigate the issues of censorship, conspiracy theories, sexual ethics, hate speech, religious freedom, and tribalism.  Many of the contributing writers (David French, Bonnie Kristian, Bryan Baise, and Brooke Medina) have been prior guests on the Saving Elephants show.

*This episode is releasing on April 9, 2023, at dawn, Berlin time. This is in commemoration of the execution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who stood up to the lies and deception of Hitler, and who paid for it with his life. He died at dawn exactly 77 years ago from this moment. I dig into Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to explore the mind of an early master propagandist, and how we might avoid being bewitched by another iteration of him in the future. 0:00 - Bonhoeffer Introduction15:00 - Our aversion to reading Hitler21:45 - How this episode connects with the season23:30 - Hitler's/Germany's struggle: injustice and imperialism33:00 - Racial ideology38:00 - Hitler's moral lens42:45 - Hitler's grounding of authority49:00 - Hitler the progressive51:15 - Why focus on the masses?53:30 - How to propagandize the masses59:30 - The elite are disconnected from the masses1:06:00 - How the elite propagandize the masses like Hitler1:12:30 - Ellul and Hitler's overlap1:13:45 - Importance of truth at the core of propaganda1:16:00 - Importance of polarizing groups and issues1:20:10 - Mithridatism and saturation1:20:50 - Vary forms of propaganda1:21:25 - Propaganda aims at effectiveness1:22:00 - Concluding thoughts*Correction to Holmes's quote.

Découvrez le bouquet philo, l'abonnement pour accéder à tous les cours passés et futurs :https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/cours-philo Être sincère avec soi-même serait une vertu, un comportement qui traduirait une capacité à l'honnêteté et à la clairvoyance. Or, Jacques Ellul ne partage pas ce point de vue. Pour lui, "être sincère avec soi-même" serait en réalité un moyen de masquer notre égoïsme et notre refus des contraintes. Pourquoi ?

Kale sits down with Tara Ann Thieke to discuss The Machine, Spirits, Technology and the struggle to be human.   In the first half of the show they talk about what it could mean to be in a "post-Christian" world and the limits of the liberal order, and in particular what the implications are for people raised in this order and the reality of the meaning crisis. In the second half they talk about spirits.    Topics covered: Ellul and Illich Edith Stein paying attention to the face as an antidote to memes human person as Icon rather than thing or instrument curating your own social media game Spirits and compulsion Millennials have been lied to Benedict Option for those who have "timed out" the spirit of Ahriman Buffered and Porous models no neutrality in the spirit world
