We are joined once again by Evgeny Morozov to discuss his new podcast series, A Sense of Rebellion, which tells the story of a wild bunch of eccentric hippies who had grand ideas for how to design interactive technologies and intelligent environments and cybernetic systems that are radically different from today's smart tech and AI. Morozov takes us deep down the rabbit hole of Cold War counterculture and technoculture, and deep into the life and mind of Warren Brodey, a now largely forgotten giant of early cybernetics. This new podcast series is the second in a trilogy on “tech rebels who failed.” ••• A Sense of Rebellion: https://www.sense-of-rebellion.com/ ••• Evgeny Morozov: https://x.com/evgenymorozov ••• The Boston hippies who developed technologies that Silicon Valley wouldn't dare to make https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/06/15/opinion/warren-brodey-environmental-ecology-lab/ Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

Sometimes you feel like you've know someone forever... well at least since that one time he came to your small town during his "Impossible Truth" tour back in 2013 and played your local coffee shop. I'm talking about our southern brother, William Tyler. A legend among greats, Tyler played with the likes of Silver Jews and Lambchop prior to launching his solo career around 2010. He has crossed paths with the late Jack Rose, rocked with KY legend Bonnie "Prince" Billy and so many wonderful artists over the years. A Tennessee boy born and raised, Tyler grew up with his sister, whom he started the Stone Fox venue with in Nashville back in the day. Eventually signing with Merge Records, Tyler went on to release a large body of work with titles such as "Goes West", "Music From First Cow" and his Thrill Jockey debut entitled "Lost Futures" with Marisa Anderson back in 2021. Eventually relocating to LA for a few years, he has since been back in the south during the Pandemic crisis to reset and figure out his vision for the next chapter. Tyler is true blue and we couldn't be more excited to share this episode with you. Enjoy!
I have begun working on a new role playing game. It is called Labyrinths of Lost Futures, a modern day dungeon crawling hauntological fantasy. Delve into weird ruins with an enchanted gun and cellphone. Fight cryptids in a haunted trailer park. Escape a time loop based on a person's childhood

In this very special episode of our series on science fiction and futurism, Jorge and Aaron are joined by Derek Murphy and Mitchell Zemil, the creators of "Preserving Worlds" on Means TV. "Preserving Worlds" is a documentary travelogue through aging and beloved virtual worlds. Using narration, interviews, and an impeccable, nostalgic vibe featuring archival and in-game footage, and a laidback, synthesized retro soundtrack, this series is a hauntological survey of what was, what could have been, and perhaps what can still be in the age of the Internet and social media: from Myst Online, to Doom, to Second Life, and even Final Fantasy XIV. The gang and their wonderful guests discuss the dialectics and contradictions of virtual worlds under late-stage capitalism, the individuals whose lives have been changed by these communities, and what the grim future of our cyberpunk dystopia holds for the Internet, social media, and virtual worlds. Check out "Preserving Worlds" on Means TV (And if you already aren't a subscriber of Means, become one and support worker-owned media!)

How does one sanitize literally being eaten alive? What would you do with the powers of a God? Who's more evil, alien invaders or the US government? (Okay, that one's obvious.)

Halvparten av Antidepressiva drar inn til maktens buljongkokeri, Oslo, for å diskutere Mark Fishers "Den kapitalistiske realismen", som nå har kommet på norsk, med de to oversetterne Alf Jørgen Schnell og Daniel Vernegg. Mens du lener deg tilbake i din senkapitalistiske dekadanse (også kalt solseng), kan du kanskje få svaret på hvorfor ingen gjør noe med et system som så ubønnhørlig dundrer avgårde mot avgrunnen.

Welcome to our 2nd installment of Digital Folklore Unplugged. These unplugged episodes are all about stripping away the fancy production elements so that we can give you access to raw (or slightly edited) interviews with folklore experts. Today's guest is Dr. Diane Rodgers. Diane is a senior lecturer in Media at Sheffield Hallam University where she specializes in Alternative Media and Storytelling in film and television. Her research interests relate to the communication of folklore and contemporary legend in the media including: folk horror; folklore on screen; the supernatural, ‘spooky' television programming aimed at children, and other darkly fascinating topics. Diane's PhD research was on folk horror and hauntology in 'wyrd' 1970s British Film and Television. She's also co-founder of the Centre for Contemporary Legend research group. And if you are one of our wonderful Patreon supporters, you get access to these interviews a few days early before their general release. Also mentioned in this episode was the International Society for Contemporary Legend Research (ISCLR). Ok, let's get unplugged… Guest: Dr. Diane A.

In this episode of our series on science fiction and futurism, Aaron and Jorge are joined by Fred Scharmen (@sevensixfive) for a discussion about his book Space Forces: A Critical History of Life in Outer Space. Fred teaches Architecture and Urban Design at Morgan State University's School of Architecture and Planning. We discuss what exactly was Russian Cosmism and how did this inspire the Soviet Union's quest to explore the stars? How did Wernher von Braun's Nazi past inform how Americans conceptualize space exploration? How did the military and Disney help sanitize the image of a Nazi SS officer to the American public? Who was Jesse Strickland and why has he become yet another "hidden figure" of space exploration? How are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos fundamentally different in their approach to space exploration? Is space exploration fundamentally colonialist? Tune in to this episode of about what may have been and what can still be.

Ana and Camila discuss the world's first macintosh clone, the Mac 512 by Unitron, and how Apple threatened to start a trade war on Brasil due to their clone. Although Unitron was not doing anything wrong with the Brazilian law, Apple tried to get themselves out of financial worries and seized control of how their new hardware and software package (the first Mac) was being sold around the world. This led them to force Brasil to stop producing their Macs, and tighten up restrictions on licensing. The girls dig deeper into how such political rivalry was triggered by the problems of the US's economic movement of financialization and the tech industry's laissez-faire attitude of the 80s.Follow us on Twitter @OurFriendCompAnd Instagram @ourfriendthecomputerMain research for the episode was done by Ana who also audio edited.Music by Nelson Guay (SoundCloud: fluxlinkages)References:Time, "The New Rules of Play", 1968 - https://web.archive.org/web/20071114005733/https://time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,899963,00.htmlMac84, “The Rise and Fall of the Macintosh Clones - Part 1: The Original Apple Hackintosh”, 2021 - youtube.com/watch?v=lwMzYFEGoag, https://mac84.net/web/macintosh-clones/Adam Rosen, The Cult of Mac, ”Meet Unitron Mac 512: World's First Macintosh Clone”, 2014 - https://www.cultofmac.com/266710/meet-unitron-mac-512-worlds-first-macintosh-clone/BrasilWire, “The 1980s Trade War between Brasil… and Apple”, 2015 - https://www.brasilwire.com/the-1980s-trade-war-between-brasil-and-apple/Mark Fisher, “Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures”, 2014Jecel Mattos de Assumpcao Jr, “Mac 512” - http://archive.retro.co.za/mirrors/apple/www.lsi.usp.br/~jecel/mac512.html

This is: Why Weren't Hot Air Balloons Invented Sooner?, published by Lost Futures on October 18, 2022 on LessWrong. TL;DR Hot air balloons certainly could have arrived at least decades earlier and there's a high chance they could have arrived centuries, possibly even millennia earlier. Jason Crawford asks, "Why did it take so long to invent X?" The post is an invitation. It asks the reader to identify low-hanging fruit, inventions that could have been invented far earlier but weren't. Now, most technologies don't fit the bill. Not everything could have been invented long before it was. Many relied on recent advancements. The airplane only became possible once engines became powerful enough to lift them into the sky. But for other inventions such as the cotton gin or flying shuttle, neither scientific nor technological barriers seem present. To this list of mysteriously absent inventions, I'd like to propose an addition: The hot air balloon. Ancient Balloons? The notion of the ancient or medieval world having hot air balloons makes for exciting counterfactual history. Floating Roman military lookouts, ornate balloons arriving with Zheng He's fleet in South Asia, balloon cartographers in the age of exploration. It's all very eye-catching, but is it realistic? In actual history, there were no Roman, Umayyadan, or Imperial Chinese hot air balloons. In fact, highly dubious claims of ancient South American balloons aside, no one in the classical or medieval world is known to have constructed a manned balloon. The first verified flight occurred in 1783, amid the industrial revolution. This early balloon was created by the Montgolfier brothers, French industrialists in the paper industry. Why Manned Balloons Could Have Been Invented Sooner Previous Inventions/Historical Precedent Mini Hot Air Balloons The sky lantern was invented by the Chinese by at least the 3rd century AD. Constructed from paper and a small fuel source, sky lanterns operated using the same principles as manned hot air balloons, well over a thousand years prior to the invention of the latter. Human Flight Before Balloons Beyond this, the concept of human flight was by no means novel to Dynastic China. Man-lifting kites were likely developed shortly before the time of the Sui Dynasty (581–618). Such kites became widespread enough throughout East Asia for the Japanese government to have prohibited them at a time. The First Hot Air Balloon Didn't Take Long To Invent While Joseph-Michel Montgolfier, having created parachutes in the past, possessed preexisting knowledge of aeronautics, the brothers did not begin experimenting with balloons until the winter of 1782. By the end of the year, the duo had successfully built two prototypes, the second of which had so much lifting force they lost control of it. The prototype would proceed to float for nearly two kilometers (1.2 miles) before landing. Upon touchdown, it was ripped apart by frightened passersby. By October 1783, the first manned flight occurred, and a month later on November 21, 1783, the first untethered manned balloon flight was performed. The Montgolfiers' Balloon Was Inefficient The Montgolfier brothers didn't quite understand the physics involved– they believed thick smoke was the key to keeping the bag aloft, so they burned things like straw, wool, and even old shoes to produce the densest possible smoke. Not recognizing that the heat had made the bag rise, the brothers also seem to have believed at the time that they had produced a new, previously undiscovered gas that was lighter than air. The Montgolfier brothers created a functional hot air balloon without understanding the underlying physics. They believed that it was the smoke rather than hot air that caused the balloon to rise. Because of this, they burned materials that would produce thick smoke su...

The First Hot Air Balloon Didn't Take Long To Invent While Joseph-Michel Montgolfier, having created parachutes in the past, possessed preexisting knowledge of aeronautics, the brothers did not begin experimenting with balloons until the winter of 1782. By the end of the year, the duo had successfully built two prototypes, the second of which had so much lifting force they lost control of it. The prototype would proceed to float for nearly two kilometers (1.2 miles) before landing. Upon touchdown, it was ripped apart by frightened passersby. By October 1783, the first manned flight occurred, and a month later on November 21, 1783, the first untethered manned balloon flight was performed. The Montgolfiers' Balloon Was Inefficient The Montgolfier brothers didn't quite understand the physics involved– they believed thick smoke was the key to keeping the bag aloft, so they burned things like straw, wool, and even old shoes to produce the densest possible smoke. Not recognizing that the heat had made the bag rise, the brothers also seem to have believed at the time that they had produced a new, previously undiscovered gas that was lighter than air. The Montgolfier brothers created a functional hot air balloon without understanding the underlying physics. They believed that it was the smoke rather than hot air that caused the balloon to rise. Because of this, they burned materials that would produce thick smoke su...

In this debut episode of our newest series on science fiction and futurism, the gang is joined by editor at Blood Knife Magazine and host of the Podside Picnic podcast, Kurt Schiller (@mechanicalkurt), for a discussion about Ursula K. Le Guin's rather short but famous 1973 story, The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. Is it about exploitation under capitalism? Imperialism? That utopia is not possible or cannot exist without sacrifice and suffering, but only for a few? In the decades since its publication, writers, critics, teachers, and students have grappled over the morality of this succinct but perfectly vague story. Kurt helps us parse through its meaning as well as response stories, and we discuss his own piece on "Omelas" over at Blood Knife Mag. Tune in for this first episode of a series about what may have been and what can still be.

Josiah is joined by Phil Christman (@phil_christman) to talk about the Midwest, American evangelicalism, and the future of the left. Both the Midwest and evangelicalism are made up of lost futures—radical moral or political visions that eventually lost out to the iterations we see today. In a casual discussion, Josiah and Phil ask what we can learn from history, both the good and the bad, and how that can help in imagining the future.Follow today's guest on Twitter.Find more of Josiah's work hereFollow Josiah on Twitter @josiahwsuttonReferenced worksMidwest Futures - Phil ChristmanHow To Be Normal - Phil ChristmanThe Frontier in American History - Frederick Jackson Turner Jesus and John Wayne - Kristin Kobes Du MezLatino Heartland - Sujey Vega"Before I-235, Des Moines' Center Street district was a bastion of Black commerce and culture" - Paul Brennan & Courtney Guein"Unlearning the Language of ‘Wokeness'" - Sam Adler-BellCapitalist Realism - Mark FisherMusicYesterday – bloom.In My Dreams – bloom.

Kate Wolf speaks with writer Kelefa Sanneh about his debut book, Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres. An exhaustive, enthralling breakdown of the last fifty years in music, Major Labels diagrams the American sonic landscape, Alfred Barr style, in the discrete yet overlapping categories of Rock, R&B, Country, Punk, Hip Hop, Dance and Pop; it also pays close attention to the proliferation of genres within genres, covering everything from thrash metal to glitter rock, quiet storm to hip hop soul, and many more. The book reveals what these divisions mean not only for the way music gets made, but how it's listened to, and by whom. In conversation, we learn what inspired, and continues to inspire, one of our leading music writers. Also, Cynthia Cruz, author of The Melancholia of Class, returns to recommend a collection of writings by the late Mark Fisher "Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology, and Lost Futures."

What is Acid Communism? In this podcast, I am joined by Adam Ray Adkins from The Acid Left Podcast to discuss Mark Fisher's concept of "Acid Communism" and how it fits into his other ideas on Capitalist Realism, Lost Futures, Hauntology, and Post-Work. We discuss the relationship between the 1960's Counterculture, hippies, psychedelia, and past & present socialist movements. We will analyze the problems and lost potentials of these movements and we discuss the potential uses of pscyhadellics and their implications on consciousness. We also critique problems with rational and strictly material appeals in the contemporary left and discuss how the left should regard spirituality and higher desires for things like meaning, freedom, and free time. Also for those who may still be confused, to be clear, "Acid Communism" is not a political system or a concrete ideology. It is merely a thought provoking concept that is still in its infancy. I recommended reading Mark Fisher's essay on it as well as Jeremy Gilbert's work on it to get a full grasp.

This is an episode that's a little more personal, just a little catch up really. A few people have said they miss the little bits of personal updates about my current situation. I have decided to not include this in the long form project of our bi weekly exploration of what an outline of a map of the Way of the Showman would look like. SO, here it is. A random encouter in a hobo jungle by the wayside, a little catch up and a call to action for you to send me some stories, in writing or as recording and I could interact with them in future encouters by the wayside.link:Hideaway Circus Podcast episode 107 where Josh and Lyndsay talk about Lost Futures and their new show Stars Above.
We drape ourselves in an old, white sheet and consider the nature of ghosts and hauntings: how no one knows what a ghost is; crisis apparitions; poltergeists; the changing criteria for manifestations of ghosts; technological manifestations; the lack of any knowledge about ghosts; Barrie Colvin's poltergeist hypothesis; occultism and the non-existence of ghosts; paranormal investigation as a form of magical ritual rather than science; Hellier as a example; why we should care about ghosts; the persistence of ghosts; Martin Wall and a ghost of his childhood; the intrusiveness of ghosts; a semblance of being; "to haunt" as neither an action nor a way of being; the persistence of nothingness and the failure of being; the ghost as a desire in search of being; when living humans haunt; the difference between ghosts and the dead; finding our relationship to the dead inside ourselves; the ghost as coming from outside ourselves; our lack of a relationship to the ghost; ghosts in search of relationships; when a ghost joins the dead; the potential deceptiveness of ghosts; not all ghosts are the dead; why we should be wary of external manifestations of the dead; motivations for externalising the dead; a recap on the ghostly; the possibility of many different forms of haunting; hauntology and the ghosts of lost futures; the postponement of the future promised to us in the 1970s; Mark Fisher on haunting as failed mourning; the difficulty of mourning what we never had; the future imperfect tense and interruption as aspects of the ghostly; how, when haunted, we become like ghosts; the Zeigarnik effect and how it manifests in experience; haunting as the persistence of interrupted desire; some possible responses for when we find ourselves haunted; Mark Fisher on becoming outcasts from our own time.

This year, I've read some great zines that each explore sense of place in their own unique ways. Hence, I thought it would be nice to chat with some of the creators behind them! First, I speak with Kieran Cutting and Christian Kitson, creators of Lost Futures. Lost Futures explores 'worlds that could have been, should have been, or weren't'. Then, I chat with Richard Daniels, creator of Occultaria of Albion (OA), a tongue-in-cheek part-work series about the weird and unusual in Albion. Finally, I chat with Simon Moreton, author of multiple zines, independent comics - and a brand new book! Much of his works explore place, landscape, politics, and grief.

B5 S1 E4 Infection (18 Feb 94) v DS9 S1E11 Nagus (21 Mar 93)-Ikarrian infections recalls in various ways the Star Trek: Next Generation antagonists the Borg, the role of evil AI in the original Trek (“Return of the Archons” [1967] & “Ultimate Computer” [1968] are 2 of the most prominent), the Phalanx in X-Men comics (they're first big story Phalanx Covenant came out a few months after this episode, the Black Panther antagonist Klaw (debuted 1966), & the Terminator (1st 2 films came out in 1984 & 1991)-DC Comics published an 11-issue B5 comic series (1994-95). The first arc, Price of Peace, was published in a trade paperback, & we will probably cover it on the show between S1 & 2 of B5. The second arc, Shadows Past & Present, explores the backstory of how Garibaldi & Sinclair meet. It isn't good, folks. In 1998 DC republished a 3-issue B5 mini called In Valen's Name, which takes place in B5 S4, we might cover that. DC's interest in B5 comics may have stemmed from its long swath of publishing Trek comics (1984-96)-David McCallum was one of the leads of the excellent English series Sapphire & Steel (1979-82). The other 2 charismatic characters from Sapphire & Steel, beside the leads, were Lead & Silver. The finale of Sapphire & Steel influenced Twin Peaks Season 3: The Return (2017)-Mark Fisher, one of our great theorists & horror media critics, writes about Sapphire & Steel in his Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures (2014), although his posthumous The Weird & the Eerie (2017) is also relevant.-The leather aesthetic was big in the first X-Men film trilogy (2000-6) & Grant Morrison's New X-Men run (2001-4)-Quark's reception of a petitioner is an homage to the opening scene of The Godfather (1972)-Ironic given his portrayal of a capitalist patriarch, Wallace Shawn is also a socialist playwright & his monologue play The Fever (1990) is a particularly harsh presentation. The podcast Proles of the Round Table has an excellent version of the play.-Scenes of learning to read in primary or secondary languages or awakening to the power of the written word are an important trope of Afro-American literature, for example in Frederick Douglass & Richard Wright autobiographies Octavia Butler Dawn (1987) sf novel

When you were a child did you ever have feelings of yearning, melancholy, or a wistful dreaminess to the way you perceived the world around you? If you did, you'll be pleased to know that a movement called Hauntology explores these feelings in great detail! Hauntology originated as a philosophical concept introduced by Jacques Derrida in his 1993 book Spectres of Marx. Put simply, it refers to the persistence of our past presenting itself in the future, in the manner of a ghost. However, in recent years it has expanded far beyond that and the term explores feelings of nostalgia, childhood disquiet and lost futures through music, art and writing – with a heavy focus on a 1970's childhood. In today's episode I have a chat to Bob Fischer - author of the book Wiffle Lever To Full! writer for The Fortean Times, Electric Sound Magazine and creator of the blog The Haunted Generation. Here is an overview of some of things me and Bob chat about: • What hauntology Is and where the idea originated. • The effect old film and photographs have on you as a child. • A child's perception of time and its hauntological effect. • Do 70's children have a different perception of nostalgia compared to children of today? • When Bob realised his childhood feelings related to hauntology. • Some 90's/ 00's kids show that gave me hauntological feelings. • The influence Alan Garner had on Bob growing up. • The changing ideas of ‘lost futures' from the 60's up to the present day. • Different era's bleeding into each other creating a multi layered hauntological effect. • Hypothesising hauntological feelings of the future.

In this episode, Kiegan Irish and Alex Boos revisit and contemplate historical moments and trajectories that trace out certain facets of the encounter between Europeans and Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island. Taking a dual historical approach that blends Linda Tuhiwai Smith's decolonial methodology of Indigenizing discourse with a historical materialist analysis borrowed from Marxism, we consider some of the effects of the colonial dynamics of the European-Indigenous fur trade on both Indigenous and European societies and examine the structure and evolution of specific French trading companies to pinpoint their roles both as vanguards of European economic trading practices and as founding components to the Canadian settler colonial state. These accounts are followed by a look at the Treaty of Niagara and the Royal Proclamation of 1763, two significant historical events and documents that, had their principles been respected, could have changed the course of history in Indigenous-settler political relations.
