Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 the boss of its creator, OpenAI, has turned into a global business superstar. He is the darling of both the starch-collared Davos set and Silicon Valley's dishevelled techno-Utopians. He hangs out with everyone from Katy Perry to Donald Trump, whom he accompanied on a visit to Saudi Arabia this week. It would shock no one if by its next funding round his startup, currently worth $300bn, overtook SpaceX and ByteDance to become the world's most valuable unlisted firm. The AI wunderkind recently told the Financial Times that he has the “coolest, most important job maybe in history”. No kidding. 知识点：glamorous: /ˈɡlæmərəs/（英） /ˈɡlæmərəs/（美），adj. attractive and exciting, and making you seem important （富有魅力的；迷人的；令人向往的） • She has a glamorous job.（她有一份令人向往的工作。） 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

We explore the future of ownership, wealth, and rewriting the rules of capitalism with Elle Griffin, founder of The Elysian and author of the upcoming book We Should Own the Economy. Zoë shares updates on her recent bushwalking adventure and the exciting Kickstarter launch for her new book Power Games. Then, she welcomes Elle, a visionary writer reshaping the conversation on who truly benefits from economic systems. Elle shares her journey from journalist to entrepreneurial writer, how she built multiple revenue streams on Substack, and why she believes ownership—not employment—is the real source of power. We unpack the risks and rewards of decentralising ownership, how employee-owned companies could transform wealth distribution, and what fiction can do to help us imagine better futures. This conversation dives deep into economic systems, leadership identity, and why utopian thinking is more urgent than ever.

If you own a business, you hold the levers of wealth creation.” - Elle Griffin “We need stories that give us hope, not just warn us of collapse.” - Elle Griffin “Leadership requires humility and curiosity—the antidote to hubris and manipulation.” - Zoë Routh Questions Asked: - What inspired Elle to move from journalism to entrepreneurial writing? - How do employee-owned companies shift the wealth equation? - Why are we so drawn to dystopian narratives, and what role does fiction play in shaping the future? - What are the practical steps to decentralise power and create more economic inclusion? Take Action: - Reflect on your own business or organisation: Who holds the power, and who shares in the rewards? - Explore models of employee ownership or equity participation as part of your leadership strategy. - Join conversations that imagine better futures—whether in your workplace or your community.

How do the disillusioned, the forgotten, and the persecuted not merely hold on to life but expand its possibilities and preserve its beauty? What, in other words, does utopia look like in black? These questions animate Aaron Robertson's exploration of Black Americans' efforts to remake the conditions of their lives. Writing in the tradition of Saidiya Hartman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Robertson makes his way from his ancestral hometown of Promise Land, Tennessee, to Detroit—the city where he was born, and where one of the country's most remarkable Black utopian experiments got its start. Founded by the brilliant preacher Albert Cleage Jr., the Shrine of the Black Madonna combined Afrocentric Christian practice with radical social projects to transform the self-conception of its members. Central to this endeavor was the Shrine's chancel mural of a Black Virgin and child, the icon of a nationwide liberation movement that would come to be known as Black Christian Nationalism. The Shrine's members opened bookstores and co-ops, created a self-defense force, and raised their children communally, eventually working to establish the country's largest Black-owned farm, where attempts to create an earthly paradise for Black people continues today. Alongside the Shrine's story, Robertson reflects on a diverse array of Black utopian visions, from the Reconstruction era through the countercultural fervor of the 1960s and 1970s and into the present day. By doing so, Robertson showcases the enduring quest of collectives and individuals for a world beyond the constraints of systemic racism. The Black Utopians: Searching for Paradise and the Promised Land in America (FSG, 2024) offers a nuanced portrait of the struggle for spaces—both ideological and physical—where Black dignity, protection, and nourishment are paramount. This book is the story of a movement and of a world still in the making—one that points the way toward radical alternatives for the future. The Black Utopians is a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History.  Kishauna Soljour is an Assistant Professor of Public Humanities at San Diego State University. Her most recent writing appears in the edited collection: From Rights to Lives: The Evolution of the Black Freedom Struggle. Learn more about your ad choices.

There are legends of places on Earth, Utopian societies, where people live in harmony and for a long time. There is Shangri-La in Tibet, Shambala in India, and Ag Lorg Hy Brasil in Ireland. Folks have been looking for these mythical places for hundreds of years. Do they even exist? Let's have a look. 

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Some people call it one of the most haunted towns in America: Rugby, Tennessee, nestled in the quiet corners of Northeast Tennessee. Founded in 1880 by the renowned author Thomas Hughes, Rugby was envisioned as a Utopian village, a beacon of harmonious living. However, Hughes' dreams were dashed, and tragedy struck when typhoid fever claimed the lives of many early inhabitants. Today, Rugby stands frozen in time, its Victorian charm preserved amidst the rolling hills and whispers of the past. Its population is just 75, perhaps more if you count the spirits that allegedly linger among its quaint streets. For those intrigued by the paranormal, Rugby offers an irresistible invitation. Here, the veil between the worlds is said to be thin, with hauntings reported in almost every building in this tiny town where the past is alive, and the spirits roam freely. Today on The Grave Talks, we explore the ghosts of the Historic Rugby Village with Miranda Young. For more information on Rugby, visit their website at historyhighwayshaunts.com or find them on Facebook at Historic Rugby After Dark.

This is not that kind of Utopia! On Friday we agreed that the "hope" of a Christian is not the ordinary kind of hope; it's more substantial. Today Jim will complete his sermon, Living with People with Utopian Expectations. And this Utopia is not "nowhere," as in the original sense of the word. We mean the ideal condition that Christ will impose on the world when He returns. And we have some things to hope for, even before that!

This New Year we're going in on all things space-relevant and the weird development of libertarian Network States with Fred Scharmen, author of Space Forces.Topics: Biocosmism in Russia, the project Concept Country, Bitcoin City, Nick Land Acknowledgement, mini singularities in the 1970's, astral exploration, lines by decade, science beyond earth, van stripes of the 1970's as cultural signifier, the broken future of Elon and Cyberpunk, why there is no libertarianism in outer space, Title V, The O'Neil Cylinder, "a world where many worlds are possible", Maoist tech Venture Capitalists, Ivan Chtcheglov, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Is Utopia different from the Real?, Is there an Outside to Utopian thinking?, the trash on the the International Space Station, Article V, Envoy of Humanity, the international court (ICC) beyond earth, quaalude colonialism, the ant farm Cadillac graveyard ranch, ecstatic desolation, the art of Rick Guidice and Don Davis, getting people in architecture into space futures

The difference is hope! Those Christians just seem "odd" to me. They're fine with not knowing what the latest trends are. Their values are different - kind of old-fashioned, or something. They pray as if God is right there in the room with them... and listening! And they have this confidence. They call it "hope," but it's not like hoping the weather will be nice this weekend - it's deeper than that. Today Jim will talk about our hope; what it is, and where it rests.

There is a distinct difference between photography that shows us the world and photography that shows us the artist's conception of the ideal world. The digital age has magnified Utopian Photography. I just watched a YouTube video in which a Photoshop guru improved a picture of a beautiful woman by brightening her teeth, deepening the color of her eyes, and removing all blemishes from her skin. He made a lovely photograph of a beautiful woman, but a thoroughly idealized one.

In Utopian Ruins: A Memorial Museum of the Mao Era (Duke University Press, 2020) Jie Li traces the creation, preservation, and elision of memories about China's Mao era by envisioning a virtual museum that reckons with both its utopian yearnings and its cataclysmic reverberations.  Li proposes a critical framework for understanding the documentation and transmission of the socialist past that mediates between nostalgia and trauma, anticipation and retrospection, propaganda and testimony. Assembling each chapter like a memorial exhibit, Li explores how corporeal traces, archival documents, camera images, and material relics serve as commemorative media. Prison writings and police files reveal the infrastructure of state surveillance and testify to revolutionary ideals and violence, victimhood and complicity.  Photojournalism from the Great Leap Forward and documentaries from the Cultural Revolution promoted faith in communist miracles while excluding darker realities, whereas Mao memorabilia collections, factory ruins, and memorials at trauma sites remind audiences of the Chinese Revolution's unrealized dreams and staggering losses.

We're all tired, and we're all frustrated—and that shared sentiment can be heard in this talk. Sometimes it all feels like it's too much. Too much hate. Too much anger. Everything we do seems to come at the expense of someone else, it's maddening. Today Jay discusses the idea of love and power. Are love and power polar opposites? Can the two ever share a same space? Do churches today speak truth to power? Can we unite in diversity? Because it often feels like the powers that be fear bringing people together. Can we all work together for justice with power that has love in it and embraces diversity? Is this possible or is it just a utopian daydream? God is love. And God without love is no God at all. And power without love is power with no God at all. It's all starting to be too much. Something has to give! How much more divided can we be, how much more divided can politicians make us? Billionaires make us? It makes us all want to scream. But luckily if it makes us all want to scream, than that means we're all united in this frustration—and finding any way that we're all united can be a pretty strong starting point to finding our way to this utopian dream.This talk was given on December 15, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolution94 Hosted on Acast.

Episode 15 In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what's happening here on Earth. This episode, we're digging into the astrology of 2025 and what it reveals about the year to come. Marked by major planetary shifts, lots of activity in Aries, and some historically era-defining transits, 2025 is not for the faint of heart. Between the Mars and Venus retrogrades that point to conflict over traditional ideals, Saturn and Neptune transits that seem to signify the erosion of institutions, and Uranus in Gemini promising to usher in a new world order, there's a lot to unpack. So buckle up. We're breaking down the year month-by-month to give you insight into what to expect, takeaways to apply to your own chart, and tips to help you plot a course through the chaos.

  "My ambition didn't allow me to fail," said Jack Barsky, an ex-KGB spy who was a sleeper agent in the United States. Barsky was quite successful in avoiding detection. Until he was, then no amount of ambition would prevent authorities from moving in. He stayed around his smart spots for years, navigating North American culture to spy for the Soviet Union and his faith in communism. Barsky might argue that over time, he learned how corrupt and wretched communism was - and how he had been brainwashed to think the pursuit of Utopian socialism was the ideal course of action. Armed with high intelligence, Barsky figured out the need for his smart spots to change, so he changed his mind to become politically a modern-day conservative. We usually think of being smart around spots regarding achievement in business or some other pursuit. Barsky reminds us that being smart around spots can - and probably should be mostly focused - on our learning ability. To see things more clearly. To remedy our delusions. Too few of us are geniuses; even genius has a severe downside. Sometimes, we can be too smart to be wise. We may even become stupid in our genius. I'm thinking of serial killers like Ted Bundy, reputed to be high-IQ individuals who arrogantly thought they were smarter than law enforcement. But they were caught by mostly average intelligent people who stayed focused around their spots of expertise and training. With enough time and sufficient clues to follow, law enforcement often (thankfully) figures it out. As we've all heard about criminal behavior, criminals must remain lucky daily, while law enforcement often just needs one moment of luck to capture them. Thankfully, most of us aren't Soviet (or even American) spies. Or criminals. We're just ordinary Joes and Janes going about our everyday lives. I've realized that it may be an act of genius to a) recognize our smart spots, b) stay around those smart spots, and c) understand if/when those smart spots disappear or change. All of it is hard. Thomas Watson's quote makes it sound far easier than it is. And given IBM's success, I have little doubt he mostly accomplished it. Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, is said to have this quote posted on his refrigerator... "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” Perhaps Mr. Watson's quote and that quote attributed to philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson are consistent. But Emerson's quote sounds more difficult, doesn't it? Seems downright daunting! Truth is, life is daunting. Success is hard. Failure is harder! Choose your hard. Please tell a friend about the podcast! • Join our private Facebook group • Email me

I'm so happy to share this conversation that is a bit more personal as Susanna and I discuss her memoir and the intersection of our childhood experiences. Susanna grew up in a Utopian experiment in the UK. I grew up with a bunch of artists experiencing near constant accident, divorce, and trauma. Neither of us had adults around who guided or protected us very much in our childhoods. Susanna has written an incredible book, articulating with an eye that goes back and forth in time, what that felt like as a child and teen and now, as an adult engaged and empowered in her own life, what our childhood means to us as adults.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

We're joined by Dave Corkery from the Award winning Cinemile podcast as we take on The Doomsday Machine from The Original Series.   Dave grapples with the idea of being known as a Trekkie and tells us why this episode stuck out for him on his lockdown inspired epic mission to watch all of Star Trek from the beginning, Liam pays an emotional tribute to Commodore Matt Decker, Matt argues that the characters sympathetic handling of the villain of the piece represents the hope in the human spirit that Roddenberry's Utopian vision celebrates, and Paul celebrates William Shatner's performance and how his turn makes The Captain's actions believable.    So why not join us for another grand adventure by listening now!   As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: TWITTER - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find more information about The Cinemile at https://www.thecinemile.com/ Credit for our wonderful theme music goes to the incredibly talented, Adam Johnston's, you can find more of his work at - https://adamjohnstonuk.bandcamp.com/ Our beautiful artwork was created by Stephen Trumble, see more at http://www.stephentrumble.com

Today Chris shares some thoughts on techno-utopianism--namely, what characterizes it? He proffers six distinctives and asks the guys to reflect with him on them. He suggests that while very few people would say they're on board with all six, most people seem to at least think that technology inevitably makes the world a better place. But is that necessarily so, or are we presented with a set of tradeoffs when it comes to technology?

On this Halloween, Jon Greenaway returns to the show to discuss his new book "Capitalism: A Horror Story (Gothic Marxism and the Dark Side off the Radical Imagination)".  What does it mean to see horror in capitalism? What can horror tell us about the state and nature of capitalism? Blending film criticism, cultural theory, and philosophy, Capitalism: A Horror Story examines literature, film, and philosophy, from Frankenstein to contemporary cinema, delving into the socio-political function of the monster, the haunted nature of the digital world, and the inescapable horror of contemporary capitalist politics. Revitalizing the tradition of Romantic anticapitalism and offering a “dark way of being red”, Capitalism: A Horror Story argues for a Gothic Marxism, showing how we can find revolutionary hope in horror- a site of monstrous becoming that opens the door to a Utopian future.

In the turbulent late 1970s, six-year-old Susanna Crossman moved with her mother and siblings from a suburban terrace to a crumbling mansion deep in the English countryside.   They would share their new home with over fifty other residents  - idealists from all over the world - armed with worn paperbacks on ecology, Marx and radical feminism and drawn together by utopian dreams of remaking the world.  They did not leave for fifteen years.   This was not a hippie commune or a new age retreat but a community run on radical socialist Marxist principles.  Yet, however noble the intentions of the adults, was this suitable place - a suitable home -  for a child to grow up? Susanna wrote a book to try to answer that question and came to the Bureau to tell us all about it - and about the pleasures and perils of growing up in the fallout of the Utopian Dream.   More on Susanna More on her book  Home Is Where We Start More on British Intentional Communities

How did Walt's past impact his decision to create an experimental community of tomorrow? In this episode of Distory, we begin a new series exploring the origins of EPCOT, beginning with Walt Disney's Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. But before we dive into the details of this utopian city, we have to give some context behind WHY Walt would want to create a city when he had spent most of his life focused on animation, movies, and theme parks. From explaining Disney's impact on urban planning to understanding Walt's legacy, this introspective episode delves into the mind of Walt to help us understand why E.P.C.O.T. was so important to him. Kate also gives us some rabbit-hutch insight into the world of Disney's Hyperion studio, Kirk shares an unusual source of funding for CalArts, and we discuss how project timelines in the Disney parks have changed from 1955 to the present day.

EPISODE #1111 THE DARK SIDE OF H.G. WELLS Richard welcomes back digital privacy expert and author Gabriel Custodiet to talk about the lesser known facets of famous British author H.G. Wells. Custodiet reveals that not only was Wells an avowed socialist but also one of the early so-called "Utopian" philosophers whose vision of man's future was rather dystopian. Wells was an advocate for greater state control, surveillance and depopulation. GUEST: Gabriel Custodiet is the host of the Watchman Privacy Podcast, which offers practical tactics to evade surveillance while also exploring the technological, political, and cultural problems that make privacy so pressing and all-compassing an issue. His mixture of tactics, philosophy, and red pilling has made his eclectic show a bit of a cult classic in the podcast world. He recently published Privacy and Utopia, an intellectual history that attempts to explain the death of privacy by looking at its most recent origin: the rise of utopianism in the late nineteenth century.

Ned Ryun discusses his new book American Leviathan on the progressive, statist, utopian, and administrative state whose ultimate end is authoritarianism. It is a miracle that we have made it this far into the managerial state without a total collapse of freedom. Nothing else matters until the deep state is dismantled, everything else is pointless. We must disrupt and not submit to the managerial state, we must restore the republic, there still is hope.
