Welcome to episode 154 of Crowdfunding Nerds! I'm your host, Sean, flying solo today while Andrew and the rest of the team enjoy a post-Thanksgiving break. Ever felt weird on the internet? Well, according to Felicia Day, "You're Never Weird on the Internet". In today's episode, we delve deep into her book, uncovering the journey of her creation, "The Guild", and the early adoption of the internet in her family, influenced by her military grandfather. We'll explore the four productivity principles she shares, and learn how to create low-budget films that still wow the audience. We'll also discuss the art of marketing, using the unique approach of "The Guild" as a case study. And for those of you wondering about Facebook ads, there's a little something for you too. So buckle up and let's get nerdy!   Links to the books mentioned in this episode: https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Never-Weird-Internet-Almost/dp/147678566X https://www.amazon.com/Surveillance-Valley/dp/1785785710 Chapter Timestamps: 00:00 Intro & Book Discussion: "You're Never Weird on the Internet" 0:45 Facebook Ads 0:51 Solo Episode Announcement 2:17 Early Internet Adoption & "Surveillance Valley" 4:00 The Formation of "The Guild" 4:39 Military Influence in Internet Adoption 6:18 Four Principles of Productivity 9:05 Creating Low-Budget Films 12:50 Marketing: "The Guild" 15:00 YouTube Funding & The Success of Geek and Sundry 19:05 Business Advice from the Book

Dave Mathisen joins us for a deeper chat than usual about non star myth stuff for the most part. Dave is on a different life path and is opening up to talking about financial global geo political issues. We get into Michael Hudson's work, identity politics, appropriation, Capitalism breaking feudalism, government vs private, what happened in the 70's, In-Q-Tel , and Surveillance Valley.   In the second half we get into the Yellow Vest Book, Rich Men North of Richmond, the bridge to the myths, Hitler, Haley's Comet, Tychosium, Lincolnism, national banks, left and right, deep ancient, near ancient, Code of Hammurabi, MMT, counter revolutions, The Bill Mitchell Blog, definitions of the big words, ancient wisdom and the French Revolution.   David is convinced that this ancient system was intended to convey profound truths which are today more relevant than ever to our lives, even in this very present moment -- and that one of the core messages of the ancient myths involves the recovery of the essential or authentic self, from whom we become alienated by what is today referred to as psychological trauma. David is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and has a masters degree in English literature from Texas A&M University. He has been an instructor in the Department of English and Philosophy at West Point and now lives in his home state of California, where he enjoys surfing and watching the stars.   https://www.starmythworld.com/ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cpak-xii-2023-conference-on-precession-and-ancient-knowledge-tickets-534669098667?aff=DaveMathisen   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/   Links to stuff we chatted about during the show:   https://www.worldhistory.org/Code_of_Hammurabi/ https://thesaker.is/new-book-frances-yellow-vests-western-repression-of-the-wests-best-values/ https://billmitchell.org/blog/ https://michael-hudson.com/ https://www.tychos.info/tychosium-3d/ https://www.facebook.com/reel/261651716814614 What happened in 1970? https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jan/06/surveillance-valley-by-yasha-levine-review   Help support the show, because we can't do it without ya.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit yasha.substack.comThis week we do another Immigrant Deprogramming episode — this one with Dasha Nekrasova, the cohost of Red Scare. We talk about her immigrant experience, her Belarusian/Russian identity, her religious journey, and her acting/directing career. —Yasha and EvgeniaPS: Yasha was on Red Scare a few years back talking about his book, Surveillance Valley.Want to know more? Check out previous episodes of The Russians.

Author Yasha Levine refers to Silicon Valley as "Surveillance Valley," and the book that bears this title reveals much about how true that moniker really is. In this episode of Dan 11:32, we'll look at the roots of the Internet in the American military-industrial complex, and the continuing role that Big Tech continues to play in seeking to build a world where everyone is watched, predicted, and controlled.

Evgenia and I talk about “We Are As Gods,” the Stewart Brand hagiomentary that just came out. We were at the film’s theatrical premier in San Francisco — with Brand himself in attendance.Stewart Brand turns up as a minor but important character in my book Surveillance Valley. His personal contribution to the development of the internet was in the “branding” department: He helped move the anti-establishment cultural capital of the hippie movement into the corporate-military world of early internet and computer development — effectively imbuing a counterinsurgency technology with the spirit of the counterculture. It’s a rebranding that we still live with today. But that’s not something you’ll get in the film. Instead, you get the heroic selfless visionary Brand — a man who practically invented the counterculture and the environmental movement and who is now using his last years on earth trying to stop global warming by…doing Jurassic Park gene splicing with woolly mammoths out in Siberia, while actually living life dies out all around him. It’s absurd. But the film fits in well with the previous episode we recorded about our society’s terminal techno-utopianism.—Yasha LevineA couple of notes. In the first hour we talk about the myth of Stewart Brand. In the second hour we move on to talk about the documentary in greater detail. This is a public episode.

Guest: Yasha Levine. We talk about his new series on Substack, titled Immigrants as a Weapon. Yasha refers to this as an “investigative newsletter” about “weaponized immigrants, oligarchs, and the twisted politics of American power”. He refers to himself as “a Soviet immigrant living in an era of American decline” and it speaks for itself as to why his perspective is so perfect for this fascinating topic. At the end of the discussion, there’s an extra segment on surveillance and contact tracing. It’s a separate bonus extra for patrons titled Episode 165 EXTRA Surveillance and Contact Tracing in the Pandemic Era.  Yasha Levine is an investigative journalist and author. Born in Leningrad, he grew up in San Francisco, and just moved back to California. He has reported from all over the world — with a focus on America and the former Soviet Union. He is the author of Surveillance Valley:The Secret Military History of the Internet, a book about the forgotten counterinsurgency origins of the Internet. He’s also working on some documentary projects, including  one about California’s Oligarch Valley. FOLLOW @yashalevine  SUBSCRIBE to his Substack investigative newsletter, Immigrants as a Weapon.

This week we’re joined by Yasha Levine, author of Surveillance Valley and the investigative series Immigrants as a Weapon. We discuss how government and corporate development of digital technologies work to further American empire, how middle-class notions of privacy and our myopic focus on surveillance stunt other projects and political imaginations, and the history of Soviet Jews and their utility to the American neoliberal project. We close with a discussion of the importance of the USPS and Chapter 12 of The Conquest of Bread, Objections. Subscribe to Yasha’s Substack: https://yasha.substack.comSurveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet: https://surveillancevalley.comPublic outcry over threats to the USPS: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/lamvo/save-us-postal-service-coronavirus-twitter

More on Surveillance Valley

MintCast hosts Whitney Webb and Alan MacLeod recently interviewed investigative journalist Yasha Levine about his most recent book Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet and his most recent articles on the xenophobia that lies beneath Russiagate and how this new anti-Russia fervor has impacted the Russian-American immigrant community at the national level.In discussing his exhaustively researched book Surveillance Valley, Levine details how the growing nexus between Silicon Valley monopolies like Google and Facebook and the U.S. government as well as today’s scandals over internet surveillance and warrantless spying are actually the logical consequence of the Internet's origins as a U.S. military project aimed at predicting future insurgent behavior by means of covert spying.Also, discussed is Levine’s controversial but invaluable work on the hidden face of the Tor Project, which is included in Surveillance Valley. Levine summarizes his research on the Tor Project, noting that -- far from being the browser that is the ultimate tool against government surveillance -- it has long been funded and continues to receive most of its funding from the U.S. government. In addition, leaders and top advocates of the Tor Project have been caught colluding with the U.S. government, particularly the government agencies funding the project, on more than one occasion, greatly undermining its carefully crafted public image as an anti-government surveillance-busting tool.Lastly, Levine describes his most recent work on the Russiagate scandal, highlighting the often overlooked impact of the media-driven hysteria on Russian-Americans and Russian immigrants to the United States. As Levine notes, much of this rhetoric in recent years has implied that ethnic Russians have undesirable “genetic” traits or are all secretly connected to Russia’s current leader, Vladimir Putin, who is often portrayed by some mainstream media outlets as a supervillain. As a result, Levin argues that many Russian-Americans have become alienated from the Democratic Party and have either embraced Trump or complete disillusionment with both parties.Follow Yasha Levine on Twitter and check out his latest work on his website.Support the show (https://www.mintpressnews.com/donations/)

How do we reconcile free speech, internet monopolies and stopping far-right ideas from spreading? That's the question I try to answer with my guest Yasha Levine. Yasha is a journalist and author of Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet. Yasha explains the internet's conception and connection to government and the military, how it's shaping politics, and why he's concerned about internet monopolies' power to censor people - even someone like Alex Jones. Later this week subscribers receive additional analysis and reading based on each week's episode. This week I explore internet censorship and how internet companies have enabled far-right movements to grow. Become a member today to get access to this and other members-only content.

This week we interview the Executive Director of Anti-Hate Canada Evan Balgord, and understand why Toronto police protected white nationalists during a march in Toronto. Spoiler alert - they should not have done it. Show Notes Yasha Levine on Twitter Surveillance Valley - The Secret Military History of the Internet
