Laurie Taylor talks to Nina Khrushcheva, Professor of International Affairs at The New School in New York City about her research into the propaganda formulas deployed by Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin over the last two decades. As the great granddaughter of Nikita Khrushchev, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1964, she offers personal, as well as political insights, into these developments, drawing on previous periods of oppression in Russian history. She argues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has intensified 'hard' propaganda, leading to a pervasive presence of military images in every day life and the rehabilitation of Josef Stalin, the former dictator of the Soviet Union, as a symbol of Russian power. She suggests that lessons from past eras, described by such Soviet classics as Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, can offer small grounds for optimism and hope, as ordinary people absorb alternative narratives. How else to explain the fact that George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, has been a bestseller for many years and has seen a surge in popularity since the start of the war in Ukraine?Producer: Jayne Egerton

38: Hapless Democrats, Greenland Buffoonery & Trump's Orwellian QuagmireWelcome to episode thirty-eight of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) The Democrats' historically low approval ratings and the disastrous leadership of Senator "Reptile" Schumer and the embarrassing spectacle of him folding like a house of cards over the GOP's budget and continuing resolution. We also discuss Gavin "Snake" Newson and the pathetic crew of 2028 presidential candidates, which includes Tampon Tim Walz and hapless Mayor Pete.2) The assault on Greenland by Trump and his cronies, including a visit by Vice President J.D. "Piglet" Vance, and the complete absurdity of this land grab that is counterproductive to our national interests.3) How Trump and his team's use of fear tactics and lies to achieve insignificant results is consistent with the portrait drawn of a totalitarian state in George Orwell's 1984. Examples include assaults on judges, law firms, and artistic institutions, which have occurred through the use of a legally questionable executive order.Connect with David & Stu: Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.The views expressed on air during David & Stu… Unhinged! do not represent the views of RAGE Works staff, partners, or affiliates.

This part covers his novel Caliban Shrieks in more detail and how it compares to other working-class novels from the same period; his later writing and life, and how his writing career would come to an end (despite George Orwell's efforts); and, finally, the amazing series of events that led to the rediscovery and republication of Caliban Shrieks.Our podcast is brought to you by patreon supporters of both Working Class Literature and Working Class History.

Taking a page right out of George Orwell's 1984, governments across America are building an Orwellian police state using facial recognition technology.

Vernor Vinge'in öngörülü novellası True Names'ten ve Bitcoin'in kurucusu Satoshi Nakamoto'nun esrarengiz kimliğinden ilham alarak, dijital çağda kimlik, gizlilik, anonimlik ve takma adların derinliklerine iniyoruz. Yazar Gigi, çocukluk lakabının nasıl "gerçek adı"na dönüştüğünü anlatan kişisel hikayesinden yola çıkarak, çevrimiçi dünyada ve "et mekânında" (meat space) kimliğin sabit değil, prizmatik ve akışkan olduğunu savunuyor.Google, Facebook, bankalar ve hükümetlerin dayattığı tekil, izlenebilir ve parça parça satılan kimlik anlayışını keskin bir dille eleştiriyoruz. Bu dayatmanın, bizi gözetim devletlerinin distopik panoptikonlarına götüren tehlikeli bir yol olduğu belirtiliyor. Özgür bir toplumun, kişinin kendisini dünyaya seçici olarak açığa çıkarma seçeneğine sahip olması gerektiğini vurguluyoruz. Anonimlik ve takma adların (pseudonymity) önemini açıklarken, takma adların bir karakter ve itibar inşa etmeye olanak sağladığını belirtiyoruz.Cypherpunklardan, #WeAreAllHodlonaut hareketine, takma adların ve sembollerin bir fikir etrafında nasıl toplanma gücü verdiğini keşfediyoruz. George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Satoshi Nakamoto ve Buddha gibi örneklerle takma adların "gerçek isimlerden" bile daha güçlü olabileceğini gösteriyoruz. "Hepimiz Satoshi'yiz" fikri üzerinden, Bitcoin'in kimseye ait olmadığını ve kolektif bir çaba olduğunu belirtiyoruz.Geleneksel finansal sistemlerin aksine, Bitcoin'in neden bankalar ve ödeme işlemcilerinin aksine kimlik, onay veya ayrımcılık gerektirmediğini inceliyoruz. Bitcoin'in doğası gereği "kötü olamama"sının ("Can't be evil"), "kötü olmama" sözünden ("Don't be evil") daha üstün olduğunu ve ayrımcılık yapmayan bir finansal sistem sunduğunu vurguluyoruz.Bu bölüm, kimliğinizi seçme, kendinizi dünyaya seçici olarak açığa çıkarma özgürlüğünün ve Bitcoin'in sunduğu finansal bağımsızlığın bir kutlamasıdır. "Gerçek İsimler Gerekli Değil" ilkesinin [Başlık, 4, 17] neden daha özgür, daha adil ve daha sanlı bir geleceğin anahtarı olduğunu öğrenin. Bitcoin, adil bir dünyaya doğru ilerlemek için bir yol sunar.Kaynak

Джордж О́руэлл (англ. George Orwell, настоящее имя Эрик Артур Блэр, англ. Eric Arthur Blair; 25 июня 1903, Мотихари, Британская Индия — 21 января 1950, Лондон, Великобритания) — британский писатель, журналист и литературный критик, радиоведущий, автор мемуаров, публицист. Его работы отличаются простым стилем изложения, критикой тоталитаризма и национализма, а также поддержкой демократического социализма. Самые известные работы Оруэлла включают сатирическую повесть «Скотный двор» (1945) и роман-антиутопию «1984» (1948). Документальные произведения Оруэлла, «Фунты лиха в Париже и Лондоне» (1933) «Дорога на Уиган-Пирс» (1937), описывающие жизнь рабочего класса, и «Памяти Каталонии» (1938), мемуары о гражданской войне в Испании ценятся наравне с его многочисленными эссе о политике и литературе. В 2008 году The Times поставила Джорджа Оруэлла на второе место среди «50 величайших британских писателей с 1945 года». Произведения Оруэлла значительно повлияли на современную популярную и политическую культуру. В своём эссе 1945 года «Вы и атомная бомба» Оруэлл ввёл в употребление термин «холодная война»; а такие неологизмы, как «полиция мыслей», «большой брат», «новояз», «двоемыслие» и другие, часто употребляют при обсуждении тоталитаризма, цензуры и авторитаризма. ____ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Источник — антимилитаристская библиотека "Вне насилия": ➡️https://antimilitary.ru

Part 1 of our double episode about Jack Hilton, a working-class author, World War I veteran, unemployed movement organiser, and trade union activist from Rochdale, north-west England.For this episode, we spoke to Jack Chadwick whose literary detective work rescued Hilton from almost total obscurity. We discussed Hilton's life growing up in Rochdale's slums, starting work at nine years old, and his activism in the National Unemployed Workers' Movement. We also talked about how he began writing, how Caliban Shrieks was celebrated within the London literary scene, and his long-term (and complex) relationship to George Orwell.More informationBuy Caliban Shrieks from an independent bookshopFull show notes including sources, photos, and eventually a full transcript are available on our website: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/wcl12-13-jack-hilton-rochdale-caliban/AcknowledgementsImage: Jack Hilton.

It started with a modern plea for help: "Can I charge my dead phone in your bookstore?" I was in Del Mar, California, walking up the coast of the Pacific Ocean after birding all morning in ​Torrey Pines​. I was tracking my birds on ​eBird​—the ​Peregrine Falcons​, ​Anna's Hummingbirds​, and ​California Scrub-Jays​—and, of course, completely drained my phone's battery. When I get to Del Mar I spy this hobbit-hole looking bookstore called ​Camino Books: For The Road Ahead​ and when I walk in I am suddenly thrust into a gorgeous Biblio Paradise. Camino Books is one of the most spectacular bookstores I've ever seen! I fall into the handwritten Staff Picks walls, nookish children's section, incredible curation, giant hand-drawn posters from Dave Eggers, and the Wonka-like atmosphere that creates a true feast for the eyes and mind! But yeah ... my phone's dead. So I walk to the back counter and ask the gentleman unpacking boxes if I could plug it in back there. When I tell him I'm Canadian he gives me a quirky grin and says, "How many tariffs should I put on your free charge?" We laugh and start talking about the political scene. John has the aura of ​George Saunders​—a certain "warm gnarliness"—and he tells me, "We have no left wing in this country. We're like an eagle slowly swirling to the ground with just one right wing." And I could immediately tell this poetic bookselling Jedi master needed to be recorded... What emerges are the poetic distillations of 67-year-old John the Bookseller, along with his wife Alison who cameos at the end. They have been booksellers since 1981 ... a combined 88 years! No wonder the store's so great. They began in Berkeley and then opened up an independent bookstore chain called Diesel Books, up and down the California coast, and now have sold the store to open up a little new shop on the coast called Camino Books: For the Road Ahead. Don't we all need a good book for the road ahead? Let's talk about how to open a bookstore, California independence, fighting fascism, George Orwell, the 51st state, customers vs. readers, Susan Cain, the Spanish Civil War, how to 'stay awake,' and, of course, John and Alison's 3 most formative books. This is the kind of mind-opening conversation that great bookstores create. Let's head down to Del Mar, California as we flip the page to Chapter 149 now...

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (06/03/2025): 3:05pm- On Monday, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver shared a survey which indicates 45% of self-identifying “liberals” suffer from “poor” mental health—suggesting there could be a correlation between “excellent” mental health and conservative political views. 3:30pm- In a new article posted to his Substack, statistician and political analyst Nate Silver attempts to answer the question: why do young men dislike Democrats? Silver concludes that young males are largely ambitious, entrepreneurial, and strong believers in individualism. Contrarily, the Democrat Party is viewed as risk averse and overly controlling. Additionally, the Democratic Party's fixation with politically correct speech is perceived as restrictive and hostile towards humor. 3:50pm- During Tuesday's press briefing, Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about former President Joe Biden's reliance on the auto pen for pardons. Doocy's investigation concluded that Biden's authentic signature only appears on the former president's pardon of his son Hunter Biden. 4:05pm- Anna Kelly—White House Deputy Press Secretary—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. She reacts to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) inaccurate rant against the Republican bill where he baselessly claimed it would end “American energy dominance.” Many on the left continue to meltdown over every Trump-endorsed plan/policy. But during a recent interview, even JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon advocated on behalf of the One Big Beautiful Bill—calling it essential for small business and strong economic growth. 4:30pm- Rich steals Justin's headset, Matt gets yelled at (as per usual), and Rich—with some help from the audience—relives some of his greatest injuries, including the time he was stung in the eye by a jellyfish! 4:45pm- In a series of articles published last week, The New York Times examined the Democrat Party's continued struggles appealing to the American electorate. Shane Goldmacher writes that Democrats “are still searching for the path forward”—noting that the party spent $20 million studying their “erosion” of support with “young men” specifically. In another article, Goldmacher—alongside June Kim and Christine Zhang—evaluate “how Donald Trump has remade America's political landscape.” They document that 435 counties across the country became more “Democratic” from 2012 and 2024—however, 2,678 counties became more “Republican.” Further complicating matters is the 2030 census which is expected to cause comfortably blue states to lose electoral votes as citizens move to red states.

And here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/25/us/politics/trump-politics-democrats.html. 5:00pm- Lenore Skenazy—Contributing Editor for Reason, Founder of the Free-Range Kids Movement, and President of Let Grow—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest article, “Mom Arrested, Facing 5 Years in Prison for Leaving 8- and 10-Year-Old Boys at Home.” David DeLugas—Attorney & Executive Director Member of the Board Founder of Parents USA—is representing the Georgia mom and offers a legal update.

George Orwells dystopischer Roman „1984“ gehört zu den berühmtesten Büchern des 20. Jahrhunderts und wird immer dann herangezogen, wenn totalitäre Entwicklungen in der Gesellschaft beschrieben werden sollen. Ob es um Sprachpolitik, militärische Propaganda oder die öffentliche Meinung geht – immer findet man dazu eine passende Stelle in dem Klassiker aus dem Jahre 1949. Was aber lernen wir über das Wirtschaftssystem in dem fiktiven Staat? Welche Form von Herrschaft zeigt Orwell? Wo liegen die Schwächen und Stärken des Textes, der wie kaum ein anderer auch die Populärkultur prägte? Begriffe wie Neusprech oder Doppeldenk taugen noch immer, um herrschende Ideologien besser zu erkennen. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“-Literatur sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt nicht nur über den Roman, sondern auch über ein Vorwort, das der ehemalige Wirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck zu einer deutschen Neuübersetzung beisteuerte.

Welcome to our monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and me, Phil Svitek! This month, we dive into 1984 by George Orwell—a haunting dystopian novel that remains startlingly relevant more than 75 years after its release.We follow Winston Smith, a quiet rebel in a world where the Party controls truth, history, language, and even thought. As Winston struggles to hold onto his sense of reality and love in a society ruled by surveillance, propaganda, and fear, Orwell forces us to confront the dangers of authoritarianism and the erosion of individual freedom.In this conversation, we unpack the novel's central ideas—from Newspeak, doublethink, and Big Brother to the manipulation of memory and meaning. We also explore Orwell's personal history, his political awakening, and why this story continues to resonate with readers facing censorship, misinformation, and political polarization today.Join us as we break down Orwell's major themes, timeless warnings, and literary legacy—and don't forget to share your takeaways in the comments!Upcoming Reads:-Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Reckoning of Roku by Randy Ribay (June 2025)-TBD (July 2025)-Directed By by James Burrows (August 2025)

Chaque jour jusqu'au début des oraux, retrouve une colle de géopo réalisée par la rédaction de Major Prépa ! Idéal pour préparer les oraux de HEC et d'ESCP. Colle n°5 : Les industries culturelles États-Uniennes dans la Guerre Froide 1986. Alors que le chant du cygne soviétique annonce la fin imminente de la Guerre Froide (GF), sort un film qui bouleverse le paysage cinématographique mondial et l'imaginaire collectif : Top Gun. Une superproduction qui, en plus de glorifier la puissance militaire américaine, a agi comme un outil de soft power en démultipliant les inscriptions volontaires dans l'armée américaine. Les industries culturelles peuvent se trouver au centre du jeu géopolitique de la GF. Par industries culturelles, nous entendrons l'ens des industries regroupant les producteurs de contenu culturel, à savoir films, comics, documentaires, émissions radio ou télévisées, monde de l'art. Ces industries ont acquis une importance particulière au cours du XXI siècle, importance que la GF a profondément renforcé. Ce terme de Guerre Froide est forgé par Walter Lippmann qui l'emprunte au grand George Orwell pour désigner la période d'extension des tensions entre EU et URSS dès la fin de la 2GM et en particulier à partir de 1947 jusqu'à 1991. Alors que la « paix semble impossible et la guerre improbable » selon la formule de Raymond Aron, les rivalités se déplacent sur d'autres front. Est-ce assez pour en conclure que les industries culturelles états-uniennes ont été la carte maîtresse de la victoire américaine dans la guerre froide ? Nous verrons que les industries culturelles occupent une place centrale dans la guerre froide qui en fait des facteurs d'influence pour plusieurs raisons. Ainsi les industries culturelles étasuniennes sont au cœur de la guerre froide en tant que facteur de puissance mais aussi reflet des rivalités et des inflexions de la guerre froide. Pourtant les industries culturelles états-uniennes ne sont pas l'élément central de la victoire américaine et ont même pu parfois desservir les États-Unis.

Marco Rossari"Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie"Einaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itI libri sono una febbre bellissima, e tutti noi ne siamo malati. Ma che succede quando vi viene la sindrome di Salinger? E che cos'è l'intellettualite? Avete mai avuto il complesso di Henry Miller o la paranoia di Pessoa? E il flaubertismo, o il singhiozzo di Dickinson? Compilando questo breve, fulminante dizionario, Marco Rossari ci racconta cosa significhi esser contagiati dal virus delle parole. Perché è vero che la letteratura è spesso un portentoso medicinale, ma nessuno ci aveva mai detto che le controindicazioni possono essere pericolose e divertentissime.Con intelligenza e sarcasmo, Marco Rossari stila un elenco curioso ed esilarante di tic, compulsioni, vizi, vezzi e malattie immaginarie contratte da chi, nella vita, ha scelto di dedicarsi anima e corpo ai libri. Troverete l'antidepressivo Sedaris, il morbo di Bernhard, i medicamenti fasulli dell'autopubblicazione, la plaquette come forma di infezione batterica contratta tramite enjambement e la bukowskite, che sappiamo di avere quando ci svegliamo dopo una sbronza e improvvisamente ci sentiamo scrittori. E poi la temutissima sindrome di Franzen e quella adolescenziale di Siddharta, il borgesismo come forma acuta di labirintite. Chi contrae l'intellettualite legge Bachtin mentre tutta l'Italia guarda Sanremo, invece chi romanza troppo la propria vita potrebbe aver preso il morbo di Zeno… Pubblicato per la prima volta da Italo Svevo Edizioni nel 2016, torna in una nuova versione rivista e ampliata questo divertissement acuminato, perfetto per chi è capace di non prendersi troppo sul serio. Da sfogliare e leggere ad alta voce, da conservare come un talismano e consultare come un oracolo – anzi, un bugiardino.Marco Rossari ha pubblicato per Einaudi i romanzi Nel cuore della notte (2018) e L'ombra del vulcano (2023) e Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie (2025). Nel 2019 ha pubblicato il volume di poesie Le bambinacce (Feltrinelli) a quattro mani con Veronica Raimo. Ha tradotto e curato opere di Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, Anthony Burgess, Charles Dickens, Joseph Conrad, George Orwell e tanti altri. Ha curato l'antologia Racconti da ridere (Einaudi 2017).

Testimony from the Sean Combs trial has roped former President Barack Obama into the story, with David James (Diddy's assistant) testifying how A-list celebrities would pop “various pills in the shape of the former president's face.” 'Some advil, tylenol,' he said. 'He had water pills to help him lose weight, viagra, pills that helped increase his sperm count.' This comes on the heels of President Biden's cancer diagnosis and the revelation that conspiracy theorists, who said he was being pumped full of drugs and was very sick, were actually right. Then there are the leaders of France, Germany, and the UK being caught with cocaine, a favorite drug of Ukraine's gay-actor-turned-president. A few years back, psychedelics were center stage at the WEF Davos meeting. These facts might just well be the reason that nearly every person in any substantial position of power acts so irrational and erratic all the time. Drugs can change our perceptions of the world, for better or worse, but they are not the only trigger for such a transformation. Take Facebook's 2012 social experiment where the company altered algorithms to either show users more ‘negative' or more ‘positive' information. Whatever one was exposed too, produced future responses that were far greater in favor of that respective content. The study determined how “emotional contagion” could be spread on social media. Or consider the work of psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein, who found Google manipulated their search engines in favor of positive support for Democrats and negative content for Republicans in the lead up to the 2020 election, creating conditions that statistically could swing millions of voters. The recent statements made by Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, about Jefferey Epstein's death, have also proven the power of personal bias and appeals to authority, since it only took official appointments to get the conspiracy theorists to drop the whole “Epstein didn't kill himself” narrative. It doesn't really matter what you believe, because the people who didn't believe Epstein committed suicide, courtesy of people like Bongino, have now splintered into one group that suddenly believes he did and another group that always believed the conspiracy more than people like Bongino, and they're now angry that Dan would question their identity. Either way, the truth loses. The same can be said about support for electric cars, digital currency, and acts of war - they're all acceptable if it supports the American New World Order. Equally, how such things can just as easily be suddenly rejected by the other side of the political battlefield. We have also learned, unsurprisingly, that the labeling of anyone opposed to the Israeli government's power in the USA, or opposed to their actions in Gaza, or who wanted Palestinians to be spared, or who even question the notion of them being our greatest alley, were intentionally aligned with “terrorism” and “Hamas” by the Heritage Foundation's Project Esther. The project sought, as per The New York Times, “to equate actions such as participating in pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses with providing material support for terrorism so that the demonstrators could be deported, face prison time, civil penalties or other serious consequences.”The people behind this are clearly working for the same ideology responsible for the sudden eruption of “Qatar did 911,” erasing the specific propaganda about Muslims and the direct links to Israel.  All of this is the "memory hole" from George Orwell's novel 1984. It refers to a system used by the totalitarian regime in the book to erase inconvenient facts, documents, or information from existence by disposing of them through a chute, ensuring they're forgotten and can't challenge the Party's narrative. It's a tool for controlling history and truth. You're watching this play out in real time, and likewise finding yourself slowly copied and pasted into a digital avatar. Both of these things are occurring no matter what we choose to believe. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

George Orwell writes, “If you look up ‘tea' in the first cookery book that comes to hand you will probably find that it is unmentioned; or at most you will find a few lines of sketchy instructions which give no ruling on several of the most important points. This is curious, not only because tea is one of the mainstays of civilization … but because the best manner of making it is the subject of violent disputes.” In this episode I got to sit down with Meagan Francis, a supporter and friend of Ancestral Kitchen and veteran podcaster herself. She is the host of The Kettle with Meagan Francis, which is a lovely podcast, and author of “The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read” which just came out this spring. Meagan also owns a tea and variety shop and in this episode she shared with me some surprising and interesting tidbits on the history of tea and how it was introduced to Western civilization, some of the finer points of sourcing and brewing, where some of our familiar tea traditions came from and what High Tea really means.We had so much to talk about that we overflowed into an Aftershow which will be available on Kitchen Table Chats, our private podcast of bonus episodes for podcast supporters. As a thank you to our podcast supporters for keeping us on the air, Alison also created a new recipe for Spelt Buttermilk and Honey Scones, which is available where supporters can log in to the podcast downloads section of our website. Sorry Orwell, no violent disputes broke out today, but I learned a lot.

President Donald Trump has been in office for 100 days. Israel has been at war with Hamas in Gaza for 570, and Russia and Ukraine have been at war for over 1,000.  Douglas Murray has had a front-row seat to all three of these unfolding stories, bringing us reportage and analysis that have illuminated the most urgent issues of our time.  His reporting and willingness to call out bad actors across the world and the political spectrum has earned him his fair share of adversaries. Earlier this month, Douglas went on The Joe Rogan Experience—the most popular podcast in America—to debate both Rogan and comedian-turned-pundit Dave Smith. They sparred for some three hours, with the debate earning millions of views and becoming its own viral news story.  The interview became popular in large part because Douglas refused to pull a punch. In this case that meant fighting back against antisemitism—the people that spew it and the people who fail to confront it. In this case, the kind of antisemitism rising on the online right.  George Orwell famously wrote that “to see what's in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.” Nobody knows that better than Douglas who, unlike many of his contemporaries, never gets lost in excuse-making and needless ideological abstraction. He sees the world clearly and reports it back to us, which is a big reason why he's such a unique and valuable voice in our era of dishonesty. That gift is on full display in his new and best-selling book, On Democracies and Death Cults, where he writes: “The story of the suffering and the heroism of October 7 and its aftermath is one that spells not just the divide between good and evil, peace and war, but between democracies and death cults.” We get into all that and much on this episode of Honestly, which was originally filmed live for our subscribers.

Summary: In this compelling conversation, Michael Easley and Brett McCracken examine the far-reaching impact of digital technology on spiritual life, mental health, and Christian community. They delve into the addictive nature of social media and gaming, drawing on the insights of Neil Postman and George Orwell to frame today's digital challenges. The discussion contrasts passive digital consumption with the richness of active, embodied living, emphasizing how an abundance of dopamine-driven experiences can dull the soul and contribute to a growing mental health crisis. They call Christians to navigate technology with wisdom—using it to serve their mission, not sabotage it—and to prioritize real human connection, spiritual growth through discomfort, and intentional community engagement in an increasingly digital world. Takeaways: Dystopian futures may stem from pleasure, not pain. Dopamine hits from technology can desensitize us. Digital gaming can be a form of mental gambling. The unpredictability of social media is addictive. Pain and discomfort can lead to growth. The stakes of digital engagement are high for Christians.

In this episode, JF and Phil are joined by Jacob G. Foster—sociologist, physicist, and researcher at Indiana University Bloomington and the Santa Fe Institute—for a conversation about their recent collaboration in Daedalus, the journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Their co-authored essay, “Care of the Dead,” explores how the dead continue to shape our cultures, languages, and ways of being. Together, they discuss the process of writing the piece and what it means to say that the dead are not gone—that they persist, and that they make claims on the living.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 119: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Senator Lisa Murkowski may be the most important person in the country right now. Her public confession that she too is afraid of the Trump nightmare and her HINTS at talking to Senate colleagues ABOUT her fear – could provide just enough Republican rebellion to rein Trump in. It feels as if she just got it, as if she just understood that yes Trump is Nazi-esque and yes Trump often emulates the Soviets but the closest parallel to him is O'Brien and "The Party" in Orwell's "1984" and the simple terrifying conviction that "the object of power is power." That's why I think when Kristi Garden Noem and Secretary of Defense (and Vodka) Hegseth (if he's still on the job after ANOTHER Signal chat came to light) file their report on the border to Trump this week and tell him no, they don't need to invoke The Insurrection Act, he may do it anyway because... the object of power is power. Murkowski and thirteen other Republican Senators and at most four Republican Representatives can stop this. They can save the country. They can impeach Trump or if they still can’t get over the hump, the 18 of you can use the THREAT to impeach him, to virtually fetter him, to at least control the width and breadth of his damage, to make him know the Senate WILL vote against him. She can also talk to anybody on the Supreme Court except Alito or Thomas. The other seven, in the middle of the damn night - at 1 AM Saturday - stepped in to freeze any further disappearing Americans under the phony premise of The Alien Enemies Act.
