Podcasts about Utopia

The ghost of Enoch Powell punches the air as Farage announces jaw-dropping plans for mass deportations and tearing up Indefinite Leave to Remain, claiming it will save Britain over £230bn (it won't). Is Reform succumbing to the gravitational pull of the far-far-far right or just showing its true, cruel face? And does Labour's feeble response that “this plan won't work” just accept the premise of a hateful piece of self-harm? Plus, Trump's Tariffs: how they started and how they're going, with international trade expert and friend of the pod Dmitry Grozoubinski.

The compulsory service for young men in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) created bonds across ethnic, religious, and social lines. These bonds persisted even after the horrific violence of the 1990s, in which many of these men found themselves on opposite sides of the front lines. In Utopia of the Uniform: Affective Afterlives of the Yugoslav People's Army (Duke UP, 2024), Tanja Petrović draws on memories and material effects of dozens of JNA conscripts to show how their experience of military service points to futures, forms of collectivity, and relations between the state and the individual different from those that prevailed in the post-Yugoslav reality. Petrović argues that the power of repetitive, ritualized, and performative practices that constituted military service in the JNA provided a framework for drastically different men to live together and befriend each other. While Petrović and her interlocutors do not idealize the JNA, they acknowledge its capacity to create interpersonal relationships and affective bonds that brought the key political ideas of collectivity, solidarity, egalitarianism, education, and comradeship into being.

Generative AI is now widely used to make artwork, music and even film – valuable cultural contributions that used to be exclusively the province of the creative class. Could AI-generated art start displacing human creators? And what about AI's cultural influence on society writ large? Is AI generated art in the beginning of an artistic revolution or the stuff of a dystopian nightmare? Ramesh Srinivasan, a professor of Information Studies at UCLA, director of the UC Center for Global Digital Culture, and host of the Utopias podcast, joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to unpack the many ethical and societal issues at play here.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes are joined by special guest GMoney for a sprawling, fiery episode of Culture of Change. The trio dive into Charlie Kirk's words on radicalization and how fear fuels division, before GMoney lays out his vision of “Gtopia,” a world where Bitcoin, free energy, and automation reshape society. What follows is a spirited debate: can technology and incentive structures truly overcome human nature, corruption, and the lust for power? From the future of capitalism, property rights, and water access, to the risks of surveillance states, monopolies, and AI-driven automation, the hosts push and challenge each other on whether utopia is achievable, or a dangerous illusion. With humor, sharp disagreements, and deep philosophical questions, the episode paints a vivid picture of competing futures, leaving listeners to wrestle with what freedom, sovereignty, and abundance might really look like.

如果，有兩份工作：一份人工高、福利好，但工作內容毫無意義；另一份工作所做的事情富有意義，但待遇較差。你會如何選擇？這並不是完全虛構的情境，在人類學關於工作文化的研究之中也有類似的例子。在本集節目中，我們會討論David Graeber對狗屁工作（bullshit job）的研究，以及Maura Finkelstein對馬術治療農場的員工之研究，亦會嘗試分析，爲什麽工作有時會令人感到如此辛苦、沮喪？主持：Misa、Ursula（本集以廣東話進行）If there were two job offers: one with high pay and great benefits, but the work itself is meaningless; the other involves meaningful work, but the compensation is poor. How would you choose? This isn't a purely fictional scenario; similar examples exist in anthropological studies of work culture. In this episode, we'll discuss David Graeber's research on bullshit jobs and Maura Finkelstein's study of employees at an equine therapy farm, and also try to explore just why people may sometimes find work so frustrating.

This is the first episode of Cited Podcast's new season, Green Dreams. Green Dreams tells stories of radical environmental thinkers and their dreams for our green future. Should we make those dreams reality, or are they actually nightmares? For the rest of the episodes, visit the series page, and subscribe today (Apple, Spotify, RSS). In the 1970s, Gerard O'Neill drew up detailed plans for large space colonies. The Princeton physicist claimed that these colonies could beam limitless energy back down to Earth, solving all our environmental problems. As climate change accelerates, O'Neill's once-forgotten green dream has become influential again; many of today's corporate space evangelists refer to themselves as “Jerry's Kids.” For solutions to Earth's problems, should we look to the stars? Plus, in the back half, we talk to Mary-Jane Rubenstein about the religious and colonial language of the early space evangelists, and why that language persists into the present day.

Buried on the border of Thailand and Myanmar, Shwe Kokko is a shimmering city of skyscrapers, casinos and fresh-laid highways. But peek a little closer and you'll see why it has become one of the world's criminal capitals — from razor-wire fences to keep in thousands of enslaved scammers, to armed rebel guards and a theme park where Chinese high-rollers can shoot military-grade weapons.Shwe Kokko is a gangster's paradise. But not any gangster: the brainchild of a Burmese warlord and his Triad kinpin partner, it is an emblem of Golden Triangle lawlessness — where drugs, scams and slaves are bartered like chickens, and where billions of dollars disappear into a gigantic dark market. And this year, it has even helped start an international conflict. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.” Published originally as “The Soul of Man Under Socialism,” this is not so much a work of sober political analysis; rather it can be summed up as a rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the Individual. Socialism having deployed technology to liberate the whole of humanity from soul-destroying labour, the State obligingly withers away to allow the free development of a joyful, anarchic hedonism... “Is this Utopian? A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.” Far from abandoning the epigram in favour of the slogan, Wilde wittily assails several of his favourite targets: the misguided purveyors of philanthropy; life-denying ascetics of various kinds; the army of the half-educated who constitute themselves the enemies of Art - and those venal popular journalists who cater to them... “Behind the barricade there may be much that is noble and heroic. But what is there behind the leading-article but prejudice, stupidity, cant, and twaddle?” (Introduction by Martin Geeson)

Science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson imagines the future for a living. And the future is very much upon us. Robinson’s seminal 2020 novel Ministry for the Future opens in the year 2025. Robinson tells Akshat Rathi about how our real-life climate politics stack up against what he imagined for this era. They also discuss the dangers of science-fiction thinking in politics and why, for all his admiration of science and technology, Robinson remains so enamored with the unglamorous workings of a body like the United Nations.

What is behind the drive for small communities of like-minded people? The MAHA millionaire farm, the white nationalists in Arkansas, the makeshift Texas beguinage? Are we re-entering an age of utopian experimentation or are we creating cults? Jessa and Nico discuss the history of utopian projects in the American Midwest, how people from the United States have been bothering South Americans for decades with their "intentional communities," and why Swifties only want to talk to other Swifties.

What type of person belongs to the Saturn Death Cult? Could Prince Phillip's comments to charity ladies be any indication? When billionaires like Hilton and Rothchild get married can we see this cult's obsession with the "Golden Age"? Troy McLachlan lays out how the ancient past laid the foundation for a group of greedy slave masters convinced the world to create an Utopia for them upon the seat of our backs. Learn how this relates to the Eye in the Pyramid and the Electric Universe. Visit SaturnDeathCult.com The mainstream leads us to the acceptance of Trauma-based Mind Control. Can we achieve a new Golden Age with exploration and expansion of our minds? What is the simple truth about money and how are the Banking Elite riding on our backs, treating us as slaves, and creating the Myth of Authority? Are The Elite actually in control? How much power does the Common Man hold? Mind control comes straight through Hollywood and the Black Dahlia case is an early example of Satanic Ritual Abuse and the conclusion that Serial Killers as "Fall Guys" for the Baby-Eating Elite. Troy McLachlan is a British national brought up in New Zealand and earned a bachelor's degree in Asian and American politics before embarking on an advertising and television/film industry career. Inspired by the cosmology of the Electric Universe hypotheses and its ability to provide rational and natural explanations for the mythological record, Troy recognized that the god Saturn plays an important role in some of the world's more deviant esoteric traditions. He wrote the website and kindle-book "The Saturn Death Cult" as an attempt to forge a link between the implications of "Saturn Theory" and its detrimental effect on the beliefs of certain Saturnian-based occult groups and agendas.

Your hormones may be waging a hidden war that determines how long you live and how well you perform. This episode reveals how male and female biology diverge—and what those differences mean for your longevity, metabolism, and brain optimization. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Revisit this episode where Dave Asprey sits down with Teal Swan, a bestselling author and international speaker known for her work on human behavior, healing, and consciousness. Her insights bridge biology and psychology, uncovering how hormones, trauma, and environment shape both performance and resilience. Her ability to decode patterns of narcissism, victimhood, and trust through the lens of functional medicine and human performance makes her one of the most provocative voices in personal transformation. Together, they explore the science behind the hormonal divide between men and women—why birth control alters not just fertility but also male testosterone, why perception and neurodivergence impact neuroplasticity, and how early trauma imprints mitochondria and metabolism. You'll learn how fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, sleep optimization, and smarter not harder strategies can shift your biology toward higher resilience and greater longevity. They also break down the biohacking tools and supplements that can help balance hormones, upgrade mitochondria, and fuel nootropics-level brain performance. From the hidden biological costs of hormonal birth control to how carnivore and targeted nutrition affect both male and female healthspan, this episode gives you a framework for hacking your biology at the deepest level. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, brain optimization, functional medicine, or understanding how masculine and feminine biology directly influence lifespan and resilience. You'll Learn: • How hormonal birth control impacts both women's fertility and men's testosterone • Why victim mentality rewires the brain and reduces neuroplasticity • How narcissism functions as a biological stress adaptation • The role of mitochondria, metabolism, and trauma in shaping healthspan • How fasting, ketosis, supplements, and cold therapy affect hormone balance • Why balancing male and female energetics may be a key to longevity Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.

Utopia feels far away, post-scarcity feels less so.According to wikipedia: Post-scarcity is a theoretical economic situation in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely.[1][2] Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services.[3] Writers on the topic often emphasize that some commodities will remain scarce in a post-scarcity society.RESOURCES: https://lorenzopieri.com/post_scarcity/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-scarcity DONATE: https://www.pcrf.net/ GET INVOLVED: Operation Olive Branch: Spreadsheets + LinksGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
