Radicalism, Technology, and Social Justice (00:00) Intro & T-shirts. Frequent guest Joe Occhipinti joins The Radical Secular team in his debut as host, with a wide-ranging discussion of the linkage between ancient and modern technological development and its impacts on social justice. (04:14) The news: Ted Cruz, The Great Texas Blackout, the Polar Vortex, Rush Limbaugh dies, Covid update and vaccinations, the Perseverance Mars landing, (30:11) Joe Occhipinti on why he joined The Radical Secular team. (36:07) Systems thinking and feedback. (39:22) How the outsider perspective can help Americans. White supremacy as a white person's struggle. Opposition to social justice is really resistance to progress overall. (51:00) Technology is really all about increasing collaboration. Update on "The Singularity is Near." Tool-use and brain growth. Homo habilis. Technology is what's changing the world, yet people are still blaming scapegoats. Politicians are monkey-wrenching systems. Resilience is everything. (01:06:44) Disruptive change is by no means new or unique to our time. What's unique now is the blinding speed of the double exponential. Technology as an amplifier to existing power structures. Technology can sometimes plant the seeds that will undermine future developments. (01:16:03) The fourth wave of Capitalism. Can be good as well as bad surprises. Using technology to manage technology. Neuralink and cybernetic systems. Hysteresis is a magnetic phenomenon involving delay or resistance to change, but applies to politics and technology as well. Crashing our system to stop progress won't stop progress. It just cedes the race to others, like China. If we're not careful, it will crash America, and relegate the US to developing nation status. Downward mobility.

This episode your favorite bosom buddies are conversing with developer, musician & writer Arturo Vergara about language, influential authors & thinkers, cyberpunk and the value of art criticism. We met Arturo on Cupcake.io. Interactive fiction games? Design your own using the awkward R.A.G.S. or the HTML-based Twine. Arturo encourages everyone to check out Rudy Mancuso. Learning about Mexico City. Where there hell does Halloween come from, anyway? Arturo’s pond project is for synchronizing RSS and Atom feeds. Soon to be renamed so it won’t be mistaken for the other Pond. His other project is a self-hosted email server, Postage. He was inspired to make Postage in part because of arkOS. We talk about the T.P.P. and jkillearn shot us a link in the chat channel. Here it is. Arturo suggests searching for David Lynch’s Daily Weather Report on Youtube. Paul suggests searching for George Carlin’s Hippy Dippy Weatherman. Chris chimes in with Kevin Nealon with News From 10 Feet Away. Of course, he and Arturo can’t watch that clip because of lame copyright laws. Austin Kleon presents at SXSW in 2014. What’s with that weird hinge on the Surface Book? Arturo digs the A Clockwork Orange soundtrack. Other cyberpunk movies discussed: The Matrix, Tron & Blade Runner. Some other books of note we discussed, cyberpunk & drama flavored: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep Neuromancer Snowcrash The Catcher in the Rye The Perks of Being a Wallflower Ready Player One. Arturo suggests Android: Netrunner The Card Game. The bizarre history The Catcher in the Rye in pop culture. Arturo doesn’t like the notion of art critics as “nobody gets to decide what’s good and what’s bad in art.” Chris & Paul discuss ArtPrize. Arturo is a part of a reading group that discusses Heidegger and Sartre. Wine-tasting: it’s junk science. Arturo says Albert Camus was very influential to him. Thanks to Arturo for joining us at the last minute! It was a pleasure to chat with him. Be sure to check out his site, arturovm.me to find his work and where to stalk him online.

Dr. Rick Kopak stuck around for a second episode to discuss the power of highlighting in digital text, urban fantasy, cyberpunk and the staying power of iconic books. Rick is an educator & researcher at the iSchool at the University of British of Columbia. e-readers like the Kindle offer some good tools to highlight and make notes about the information we’re consuming. However, copyright and other legal issues may be limiting usability. Copyright is a funny thing. Rick tells us about the Open Journal Project. Paul reminds us that Amazon and Netflix used to be the alternate business models and now they are the established norm. There are loads of reading recommendations in this show: Cory Doctorow often offers his books for free at Craphound. William Gibson’s cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash, Anathem, Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle). Charles Stross (The Atrocity Archives, Saturn’s Children). Asimov Heinlein Larry Corriea, Monster Hunters International. William Dufris is a voice actor who has narrated several audio books from the authors above. Scribd now offers a subscription service to audio books & ebooks. It’s like the Netflix for books. $8.99 for as many books as you can read in a month. The 007 Reloaded audio books are a series of James Bond audio books read by famous British actors like Hugh Bonneville & David Tennant. Hachette vs. Amazon. Rick recommends Roam Mobility an inexpensive way to use your mobile phone when traveling. Thanks again to Rick for making the time to join us!
