Podcasts about world without work

Yesterday, we featured a conversation with the British pro-market Conservative, Jon Moynihan, who is unambiguously in favor of economic growth. But Daniel Susskind, author of Growth: A History and a Reckoning, is less of an ideological warrior on behalf of unrestrained economic growth. In Growth, which is deservedly included on the Financial Times' short list of best business books for 2024, Susskind seeks to navigate between the exuberantly Hayekian Moynihan and “degrowthers” like previous KEEN ON guests Tim Jackson and Jason Hickel. The truth about growth, for Susskind, as I'm guessing for most of us, is tricky, especially in the context of its longer term environmental costs. Thus the importance of Susskind's nuanced and sensitive treatment of both the benefits and drawbacks of economic growth.Dr Daniel Susskind explores the impact of technology, and particularly AI, on work and society. He is a Research Professor in Economics at King's College London, a Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics in AI at Oxford University, and an Associate Member of the Economics Department at Oxford University. He is the co-author of the best-selling book, The Future of the Professions (2015) and the author of A World Without Work (2020), described by The New York Times as "required reading for any potential presidential candidate thinking about the economy of the future”. His TED Talk, on the future of work, has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. And his new book, Growth: A Reckoning, published in April 2024, is currently shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year 2024. Previously he worked in various roles in the British Government – in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit, in the Policy Unit in 10 Downing Street, and in the Cabinet Office. He was a Kennedy Scholar at Harvard University. Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

In this thought-provoking episode of Spotlights, we dive deep into the question: What if work as we know it no longer existed? Imagine a world where alarm clocks, deadlines, and daily commutes are a thing of the past. Would creativity and personal passions flourish, or would society crumble under the weight of idleness? We explore the potential impact of a workless society on everything from innovation and progress to social dynamics and personal identity. How would people find purpose if they no longer had jobs to define their worth? Would a world powered by automation lead to new forms of inequality? And, most importantly, could we redefine work to be driven by passion and choice rather than necessity? Join us as we unpack the complexities of a world without work, questioning whether it would truly be a utopia of freedom and creativity or a world where humanity drifts without direction. By the end of this episode, you may just find yourself reconsidering the role that work plays not only in your life but in the fabric of society.

suzanne@mightycompanions.org https://suespeaks.org/ Suzanne Taylor produces stimulating events, projects and experiences for sophisticated audiences, with a visionary voice that challenges the status quo and helps people feel inspired to create a positive collective vision. BIO Suzanne Taylor has been involved with films since she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from NYU. Having been an actress, she crossed over to the other side of the camera as the Executive Producer of the 2002 feature documentary, CROP CIRCLES: Quest for Truth. She is the Producer/Director of What On Earth? Inside the Crop Circle Mystery, which got a good review in The New York Times and was Best Feature Documentary at the UFO Congress Film Festival, where the first film got the Audience Award. What On Earth? had its TV premiere on CPT12, a Colorado PBS station. Suzanne is a crop circle authority on the Ancient Aliens television series on the History Channel. She was the producer of Brother, Can You Spare a Paradigm?, the controversial Ex TEDx West Hollywood program that has been serving to get issues about nonlocal reality into the public eye. As follow-up to TED Talks, she is producing SUE Speaks, with SUE standing for Searching for Unity in Everything. As the founder of Mighty Companions, a non-profit dedicated to rethinking our worldview, her Los Angeles home is a gathering place for activists. The walls are lined with her post-impressionist paintings – she had a one-woman show. And the food is delicious – Suzanne is a mean chef who wrote The Anybody Can Make It, Everybody Will Love It Cookbook. And here's Suzanne's Story, a biographical piece from then till when it was written in 2014, written as a chapter in a book to inspire young girls. For another story of my life, in 1998 I was invited to a conference in Italy to give a talk, “The Future of the New Age”, and I used my life as subject matter. Also, here's a video from a first meeting of people who were interested in being part of an activist community after attending “A World Without Work,” that dealt with the BIG, for Basic Income Guarantee. This talk of mine brought people up to date on what led me to this juncture. SUE Speaks is a digital meeting place for high-minded people to be inspired and to engage with each other. Our goal is to help shift our worldview from being primarily about self-service to where caring about each other is as important as caring about ourselves. Blog posts, videos, and podcasts provide a treasure trove of food for thought. This site came into being after I delivered a program that was conceived under a license granted by TED. TEDx West Hollywood, an event all about shifting our worldview, was participated in by illustrious, highly-regarded professionals from science, education, and medicine. You can read all about it here. The idea of TED talks inspired SUE Speaks, where SUE stands for Searching for Unity in Everything. SUE Speaks is a rich compendium of material, like a scrapbook, that invites comments and interaction – “amusements and inspirations along the path to a new reality.” You are invited to browse, participate, and become part of bringing about the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

If you didn't have to work to enjoy material abundance, would you do it anyway? If an algorithm or a pill could achieve better results, would you bother shopping or going to the gym? These are the kinds of questions we'll need to ask ourselves if AI makes all human labor and other traditional ways of spending time obsolete. Oxford philosopher Nicholas Bostrom, author of Deep Utopia, is downright bullish about our ability, not only to adjust to a life stripped of labor, but to thrive. Listen as Bostrom explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts what pleasure and leisure might look like in a world without struggle or pain, and why art and religion may come out still standing, or even become more necessary. Finally, they speak about how AI might free us up to be the best people we can be.

What will the economy of the future look like? How can we prepare for it? What impact is technology having on work and the job market? Are we heading towards a world without work? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Daniel Susskind in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. An expert on the impact of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, on work and society, Daniel Susskind is a Research Professor of Economics at King's College London, and a Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics in AI at Oxford University. He is the the author of the book A World Without Work, described by The New York Times as "required reading for any potential presidential candidate thinking about the economy of the future”, co-author of the best-selling book, The Future of the Professions. His TED Talk, on the future of work, has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. Previously, Susskind worked in the British Government – as a policy adviser in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit, as a policy analyst in the Policy Unit in 10 Downing Street, and as a senior policy adviser in the Cabinet Office. He was a Kennedy Scholar at Harvard University. In this episode, Susskind discusses how the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the role of technology in the various kinds of work we do. He looks at how technological progress will impact the lives of people who depend on paid work for their income, and considers how many people could be displaced or left behind by the economy of the future. He also examines how a world with less work available to a larger number of people will affect them emotionally and not just financially. Finally, Susskind discusses what kinds of jobs and careers will be open to future generations, and what skills and capabilities they will require of them, in a conversation well worth listening to.

What would your world look like if you didn't have to work?  Where would you find meaning.  Today I examine the implications of a world without work.

Automating technologies threaten to usher in a workless future. To many, this is a depressing prognosis, an image of civilization replaced by its machines. But what if an automated future is something to be welcomed rather than feared? Work is a source of misery and oppression for most people, so shouldn't we do what we can to hasten its demise? In this episode of CwG, Gwen is joined by the philosopher John Danaher to talk about his book “Automation and Utopia.” John makes the case that the rise of automating technologies presents a utopian moment for humankind, providing both the motive and the means to build a better future.

Speaking with a variety of experts and working Americans, Daniel Susskind considers how we might negotiate a world without work. He hears the story of Youngstown, Ohio, where the collapse of the steel industry in the 1970s led to severe job losses and created a perfect storm of societal problems that a fresh wave of rapid automation could replicate on a mass scale. If we're to avoid such a future, we're going to have to rethink our attitudes towards taxation, wealth distribution, and even the nature of work itself.

In the second part of our conversation and collaboration with the Coffee with Comrades podcast, we begin seeking out works of literature, cinema, and scholarship that might illuminate Anti-Anti-Utopian blueprints for building new worlds. As Matt remarks, it's virtually impossible to come up with a list of films that would be called utopian, but Pearson argues that you could – in fact – come up with a robust list of fiction and non-fiction texts that spell out the shape of this new genre of hope-making. A developmental syllabus of Anti-Anti-Utopian study may start with Ursula K. Le Guin's iconic and epic “ambiguous utopia,” The Dispossessed (1974), and include Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy of novels (1992-96), as well as  nonfiction books like Erik Olin Wright's Envisioning Real Utopias (2010), Alex Williams & Nick Srnicek's Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work (2015), and A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal by Kate Aronoff, Alyssa Battistoni, Daniel Aldana Cohen, and Thea Riofrancos (2019). These visions of still imperfect, but radically more just & egalitarian worlds teach us that striving toward the utopian horizon is neither naive nor impractical, but instead all too necessary and prudent, especially now. As such, The Golden Square affirms that the decommodification of life and democratization of society are not just revolutionary goals, but in fact, the revolutionary project itself. Beyond the ceaseless academic obsessions with diagramming the corpse of our dystopian hellscape, we must chart a path outside our pyramid-shaped cages by realizing the unconditional rights to food, shelter, healthcare, and education for every person on earth – a readymade threshold separating us from the Utopian Sphere. Moving outward, Pearson, Jesse and Matt talk about the key planks that might make up the political philosophy of Anti-Anti-Utopia and how charting an emancipatory path forward requires an intersectional anti-capitalist compass magnetized to the many symbiotic, multilectical transformations necessary to abolish empire. As Matt has been fond of saying of late: “Be like an anarchist,” first and foremost.

Every weekday afternoon, Michelangelo Signorile offers up hard-hitting analysis and commentary, and with just enough laughter at the sheer lunacy that often passes for political discourse in America. As a gay author and activists he takes on the forces of discrimination and bigotry, and challenges those who cower. He reports on the news of the day in politics, media and pop culture, and he interviews all the big names — authors, newsmakers and icons from politics to entertainment. Signorile takes calls from listeners across North America, engaging in passionate discussion and often battling it out with dissenters — who occasionally even change their minds. It's Signorile's own brand of "conversion therapy,” as he calls it, “converting people from the nasty, vicious, perverted right-wing agenda to our more fun, fabulous and enlightened one."

Is a world without work a reality we need to prepare for?  In my last episode, I discussed whether the fear of machines taking over jobs was truly https://drpepermd.com/podcast-2/ep-the-future-of-work-misplaced-anxiety/ (misplaced anxiety), as experts say. Experts believe that there's no cause for alarm, but not everyone agrees. Some believe that a future where human workers become obsolete is a real possibility we need to prepare for. In this episode of Short and Sweet AI, I delve into the theory that our future will be a world without work. I discuss Daniel Susskind's fascinating book, ‘A World Without Work,' which explores the topic of technological unemployment in great detail. In this episode, find out: What Daniel Susskind believes about the future of work How machines can replicate even cognitive skills Theories on how society could adapt to a world without work How we could live a meaningful life without work Important Links & Mentions https://www.danielsusskind.com/a-world-without-work (A World Without Work) https://drpepermd.com/2021/03/22/the-future-of-work-misplaced-anxiety/ (The Future of Work: Misplaced Anxiety?) https://drpepermd.com/episode/how-to-train-your-emotion-ai/ (How to Train Your Emotion AI) Resources Oxford Martin School: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thZzDi5XRVs ("A world without work: technology, automation and how we should respond" with Daniel Susskind) TED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j00U6lUC-c (3 myths about the future of work (and why they're not true) | Daniel Susskind) The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/14/books/review/a-world-without-work-daniel-susskind.html (Soon a Robot Will Be Writing This Headline) Episode Transcript: Hello to you who are curious about AI. I'm Dr. Peper and today I'm talking about a world without work. In my last episode, I talked about the future of work. Economists, futurists, and AI thinkers generally agree that technological unemployment is not a real threat. Our anxiety about machines taking our jobs is misplaced. There have been three centuries of technological advances and each time, technology has created more jobs than it destroyed. So, no need for alarm.   But Daniel Susskind, an Oxford economist and advisor to the British government, thinks this time, with artificial intelligence, the threat really is very real. He wants us to start discussing the future of work because as he sees it, the future of work is A World Without Work, which is the title of his recent book. He explains why what's been called a slow-motion crisis of losing jobs to machines and automation, needs to be discussed now because it really isn't slow-motion anymore. Despite increased productivity and GDP from artificial intelligence, Susskind presents evidence technological unemployment is coming. As he says, we don't need to solve the mysteries of how the brain and mind operate to build machines that can outperform human beings. Machines have been taking over jobs requiring manual abilities for decades. It's happening now. Although the American manufacturing economy has grown over the past few decades, it hasn't created more work. Manufacturing produces 70 percent more output than it did in 1986 but requires 30 percent fewer workers to produce it.  More importantly, machines are increasingly being used in the cognitive skills areas, too. AI deep learning is used to read x-rays, compose music, review legal documents, detect eye diseases, and personalize online learning systems. And in the controversial area of synthetic media, AI systems can generate believable videos of events that never happened.    Machines also have human skills such as empathy and the ability to determine how someone feels. Algorithms are making headway into effectively and accurately reading human emotion through facial recognition and language. I talked about this in my episode on Affective AI. The most significant point Susskind...

Technology adoption could displace millions from their jobs; many others will need to change the way they work. Globally, 40 million to 160 million women may need to transition between occupations by 2030, often into higher-skilled roles. If they make these transitions, women could find more productive, better paid work; if they don't, they could face a growing wage gap or leaving the labor market. COVID-19 has had a detrimental impact on gender equality and resulted in hundreds of thousands of women leaving the workforce. To prevent this from happening again, we need to understand the technological changes that are coming and the impact they are likely to have, and whether this will be different for men and women. Joining us on the show today is Dr Daniel Susskind who is the co-author of the best-selling book, "The Future of the Professions" and the author of "A World Without Work." We will discuss the impact of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, on work and society and most importantly, answer the question on everyone's mind: Are robots going to take your job? And, what can you do to prepare for the future world of work?

His research and writing focuses on terrorism, counterterrorism, social media influence and Russian disinformation. Clint’s tracking of terrorist foreign fighters allowed him to predict the rise of the Islamic State over al Qaeda in 2014. From 2014 – 2016, Clint worked with a team to track and model the rise of Russian influence operations via social media leading up to the U.S. Presidential election of 2016. This research led Clint to testify before four different Senate committees in 2017 and 2018 regarding Russia’s information warfare campaign against the U.S. and the West. Clint’s writing has appeared in a range of publications to include the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The Daily Beast, Politico, Lawfare, War On The Rocks and the Huffington Post. Before becoming a consultant, Clint served as a U.S. Army infantry officer, a FBI Special Agent, as the Executive Officer of the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point (CTC), as a consultant to the FBI’s Counter Terrorism Division (CTD) and National Security Branch (NSB), and as an analyst supporting the U.S. Intelligence Community and U.S. Special Operations Command. 50:00 Derek Thompson is a senior editor at The Atlantic magazine and a weekly news analyst for NPR's "Here and Now." We talked about his latest pieces at The Atlantic. He was born in McLean, Va., in 1986, and he graduated from Northwestern University, in 2008, with a triple major in journalism, political science, and legal studies.  In 2015, he wrote the cover story "A World Without Work" about the future of jobs and technology. "Hit Makers," his first book on the secret histories of pop culture hits and the science of popularity, comes out in February 2017. He has appeared on Forbes' "30 Under 30" list and Time's "140 Best Twitter Feeds."

Daniel Susskind is a Fellow in Economics at Balliol College, Oxford, and the author of A World Without Work (2020) and The Future of the Professions (2015). Previously he worked in the British Government as a policy adviser in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit, as a policy analyst in the Policy Unit in 10 Downing Street, and as a senior policy adviser in the Cabinet Office. In A World Without Work Susskind argues that technology will lead to structural technological unemployment sooner than many economists believe. This will pose a societal distribution challenge as labor markets will be a less effective way of distributing society's income. The book makes concrete policy proposals to confront inequality and other challenges resulting from technology's impact. In a conversation with Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak, BCG Chief Economist, Susskind discusses the drivers of technological unemployment, monopoly power, universal basic income, the future role of the state, as well as the personal implications for future generations. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group's think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas.

Together with Dr. David Manheim, Jewanced takes a deep-dive into Israel's and the world's response to Covid-19, as well as embarks on a truly mind-blowing journey into the heart of understanding large-scale catastrophic risks to humanity.  We discussed how the pandemic might end and what governments are doing right and wrong. David also introduced us to the incredible idea of effective altruism, as well as how to more effectively conclude arguments.  Dr. David Manheim is currently a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Haifa's Health and Risk Communication Research Center, as well working with universities and NGOs in the UK and US. His recent work has focused on modeling test and trace programs for the UK, and policy options for COVID-19 in the US and internationally. Long before the pandemic, David was working on understanding and mitigating global catastrophic biological risks including work on bioweapons, natural pandemics, and other disasters with groups at the University of Oxford such as the Future of Humanity Institute and for various nonprofits and NGOs in the United States. He has a Ph.D. in public policy and decision theory at the RAND Corporation and has done work that ranged from informing policy decision making for infectious diseases to modeling risks from earthquakes, hurricanes, and terrorism, and from flood insurance and resiliency building in the wake of catastrophes, to how bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies affect counter-terrorism finance.

As Britain zealously unlocks its shops and zoos (but not its schools), are we knocking over the norms that we'll need to deal with a second wave of COVID? What are we going to do after the pandemic when AI and automation take all the jobs? Guest Daniel Susskind, author of A World Without Work, joins us to look at what all these people are going to do all day. Plus the torrid secret life of George Eliot. “Defending” statues with the Jacamo Freikorps. And who's really behind the purging of problematic TV comedy?Ahir Shah and Helen Lewis join Andrew Harrison for this week's full-length BUNKER.“The Government are like, Exercise your judgment… but not like THAT.” – Ahir Shah“History is a process.

This week we are joined by Alex Williams, co-author of #ACCELERATE MANIFESTO for an Accelerationist Politics, "Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work". We discussed Boogaloo Bois latest fashion trends, the coming of the Big Igloo, what's the role of the Dirtbag left within the hegemonic discourse, and the electoral prognosis and transformation of contemporary socialism. All this in light of Alex's most recent book "Political Hegemony and Social Complexity. Mechanisms of Power After Gramsci" (2019).

In this episode, I talk to Tom O'Grady who is Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at University College London. We discuss his article “Careerists Versus Coal Miners: Welfare Reforms and the Substantive Representation of Social Groups in the British Labour Party” which was published in 2019 in Comparative Political Studies. https://bit.ly/3dVZ3mE In the article, Tom investigates how politicians' social background matters for their preferences and legislative behavior. He documents how, much like in other countries, the number of MPs with a working class background has declined in the UK over the last decades. Many of them have been replaced with career politicians. The article shows that MPs with a working class background indeed have different policy preferences and behave differently in the context of welfare reform. We also discuss how British welfare politics have changed more generally. Tom's new book project analyses how elite discourse on welfare issues has changed public opinion over the last decades. From this perspective, the frames introduced by New Labour already created the basis of public support for the austerity measures since 2010.

Humans build machines, in part, to relieve themselves from the burden of work on difficult, repetitive tasks. And yet, despite the fact that machines are everywhere, most of us are still working pretty hard. But maybe that’s about to change. Futurists like John Danaher believe that society is finally on the brink of making a transition to a world in which work would be optional, rather than mandatory — and he thinks that’s a very good thing. It will take some adjusting, personally as well as economically, but he envisions a future in which human creativity and artistic impulse can flourish in a world free of the demands of working for a living. We talk about what that would entail, whether it’s realistic, and what comes next.Support Mindscape on Patreon.John Danaher received an LLM degree from Trinity College Dublin and a Ph.D. from University College, Cork. He is currently Senior Lecturer in the School of Law at the National University of Ireland, Galway. His research is situated at the overlap of legal studies and philosophy, and frequently involves questions of technology, automation, and the future. He is the coeditor of Robot Sex: Social and Ethical Implications, and author of the recent book Automation and Utopia: Human Flourishing in a World Without Work.

What will happen to our working lives when the robots take over? Daniel Susskind, an economist at Oxford University, discusses his new book A World Without Work. He talks to Ed Butler about the effects on employment, the link between automation and inequality, and whether something like a universal basic income could be a solution.

Today, I’m speaking with Dr. Alex Williams. Alex is co-author of the fantastically provocative book, titled: Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work. He’s also coauthor of a forthcoming book titled Hegemony Now, which updates Antonio Gramasci’s theory of how power operates in societies in light of complexity science.  When he’s not writing, he’s a lecturer at the University of East Anglia in the UK.  Alex and I discuss his book on post capitalism, including things like full automation, universal basic income, and shortening the working week.  We discuss the role of education in how it conditions our ability to imagine radically different futures, and we discuss specific policy ideas, like Thomas Piketty’s work on progressive taxation, Glen Weyl’s work on Radical Markets, and more broadly asking what can we do, from an institutional standpoint, to reclaim the vibrancy and vitality of our possible futures. 

More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/world-without-work. Work: a lot lot of people do it, and a lot of people don’t seem to like it very much. But as computers and artificial intelligence get increasingly sophisticated, more and more of our workers will lose their jobs to technology. Should we view this inevitability with hope or with despair? Without the order and purpose that meaningful work provides in our lives, would we end up bored and restless? What obligations does government have to deal with these changes? What about providing all citizens with a basic income? The Philosophers work hard with Juliana Bidadanure from Stanford University, Faculty Director of the Stanford Basic Income Lab.

Daniel Susskind discusses ideas from his new book 'A World Without Work' New technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines.In the past, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. Yet in A World Without Work, Daniel Susskind shows why this time really is different. Advances in artificial intelligence mean that all kinds of jobs are increasingly at risk. Susskind will argue that machines no longer need to reason like us in order to outperform us. Increasingly, tasks that used to be beyond the capability of computers - from diagnosing illnesses to drafting legal contracts - are now within their reach. The threat of technological unemployment is real. So how can we all thrive in a world with less work? Susskind will remind us that technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of mankind's oldest problems: making sure that everyone has enough to live on. The challenge will be to distribute this prosperity fairly, constrain the burgeoning power of Big Tech, and provide meaning in a world where work is no longer the centre of our lives.

How we will find meaning when machines take our jobs.

What will our lives be like when there are fewer jobs to go around? Economist Daniel Susskind envisages a world of work drastically changed by automation, and explores how to find meaning in lives less defined by work. Daniel is joined by Alan Lockey, Head of the Future Work Centre at the RSA. This event was recorded live at the RSA on Thursday 16th January 2020.

How we will find meaning when machines take our jobs.

Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn talk about their new book, and Daniel Susskind discusses “A World Without Work.”

Over the past decade a tension has emerged between Big Tech’s utopian vision of an AI future and the reality that many jobs are being threatened by data-driven automation. Many of us may suspect that artificial intelligence is going to transform the world of work, but exactly how isn’t always clear. The economist Daniel Susskind has written a book called ‘A World Without Work’ which considers how technology is shaping the economy. He spoke to Tina Daheley about how we overestimate our own job skills, the true meaning of work, and what we can all do to can prepare for an unrecognisable job market.

The future is a constant focus of anxiety, and we are all familiar with the pressures that come distinctively from automation – the transformation by which tasks formerly assigned to humans come to be performed by machines. These days, the stakes seem to be higher, as technology now seems poised to render nearly all human labor obsolete. What lies in store for us, and for the flourishing and meaning of our lives, once technology has relieved humans of the need to work? In Automation and Utopia: Human Flourishing in a World without Work (Harvard University Press, 2019), John Danaher explores the issues facing us as we confront our own obsolescence. He defends the idea that a workless future is not only possible, but possibly utopian.

In episode 18 of the podcast, Rhod takes a look at the relationship between philanthropy and technology. Including:   Supporting technology: How has philanthropy has supported the development of new technologies over the years? We look at the rich history of the Rockefeller Foundation’s Department of Natural Sciences and the growth of the open source movement. We also consider the blurred lines between long-term tech investment and philanthropy, and the “moonshot” approach of Silicon Valley figures like Elon Musk.   Harnessing Technology: How have philanthropic organisations used new technologies to further their missions? We consider some current examples of “Tech for Good”, and take a brief detour into the history of Victorian chimney sweeps to see how similar approaches have been used in the past.   Challenging Technology: New technologies may have negative as well as positive impacts, and charitable organisations are often required to play a part in addressing these problems. What new social and environmental challenges might disruptive technologies pose in the future, that charities will be called upon to help solve? What role can philanthropy play now in helping to avoid some of the potential downsides of new technology?     Related Giving Thought content   Tech Support: Why should philanthropic funders care about disruptive technology and what to do about it?   Charity 2037: 13 jobs we might all be doing in 20 years' time   5 ways AI is already having an impact on charity   Future Imperfect: 10 new problems that technology will create and charities will have to deal with   Giving in a World Without Work   The Stars My Destination: philanthropy and the future of space exploration

This is the co-hosts third such “CliffPod,” and they will hum over some of the most far-reaching and visionary aspects of this book, weighing out the co-authors' success in diagnosing why the left has been--to use Jesse's apt phrase--“drowning in failures” amid the continued carnage of Neoliberalism's rotisserie blades. Matt & Jesse will also evaluate the insights the authors gain from how the founders of the Mont Pelerin Society were able to masterfully deploy “second hand dealers” and create a winning strategy for the right that the left has yet to match in any transformative way (and which go beyond the Cult of Direct Action and Paper Anarchy). Finally, our Abbot & Costello co-hosts will assess these authors' policy demands and solutions in order to learn why this book about a post-work world is so vital to read for our deserved Star Trek future. Mentioned In This Episode: The Brief Wild History of “CliffsNotes” (Inspiring Our Nascent CliffPods)The Background of Karl Marx's Illustrious & Legendary Quote: Marx's oft-cited comment in The German Ideology that in a communist society (or some version of a post-capitalist society) he would be able to "hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic" has become more famous than what he said in other places, more specifically.To Learn What Marx Actually Thought About What the End of Capitalism Would Look Like, You Would Have to Read What He Wrote in Chapter 32 in Capital: Volume 1: A Critique of Political Economy:"Along with the constantly diminishing number of the magnates of capital, who usurp and monopolize all advantages of this process of transformation, grows the mass of misery, oppression, slavery, degradation, exploitation; but with this too grows the revolt of the working-class, a class always increasing in numbers, and disciplined, united, organized by the very mechanism of the process of capitalist production itself. The monopoly of capital becomes a fetter upon the mode of production, which has sprung up and flourished along with, and under it. Centralization of the means of production and socialization of labor at last reach a point where they become incompatible with their capitalist integument. Thus integument is burst asunder. The knell of capitalist private property sounds. The expropriators are expropriated.” IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Matthew Snyder's allusion to “some weird kind of Mars landing where you have to do mine-work in some bad 1980's Science Fiction film” is actually Peter Hyman's Outland (1981)--the setting of which takes place on Jupiter where Sean Connery must find his inner High Noon as exploited workers mysteriously and ceaselessly continue to die.

Oscar Wilde. As He So Movingly Put It, So Many Years Ago, in The Soul of Man Under Socialism:"A great deal of nonsense is being written and talked nowadays about the dignity of manual labour. There is nothing necessarily dignified about manual labour at all, and most of it is absolutely degrading. It is mentally and morally injurious to man to do anything in which he does not find pleasure, and many forms of labour are quite pleasureless activities, and should be regarded as such. To sweep a slushy crossing for eight hours, on a day when the east wind is blowing is a disgusting occupation. To sweep it with mental, moral, or physical dignity seems to me to be impossible. To sweep it with joy would be appalling. Man is made for something better than disturbing dirt. All work of that kind should be done by a machine."

After an unplanned hiatus, the show is back with a bang. This week I am delighted to welcome Nick Srnicek to the show. Nick, and his co-author Alex Williams, has recently released a new book with Verso called: “Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work’. I bought this book as a christmas present for myself, and it didn’t disappoint - it’s just the book I have been waiting for someone to write! Indeed, I’m kinda annoyed with Nick and Alex, because it’s the book I really wanted to write! In the interview we cover the first half of the book, which takes a critical look at the functioning of the political left today, and a deep look at the history, strategy and tactics of the neoliberals as a counterpoint. I hope to have Alex back on the show in the near future to discuss the second half of the book, which is much less critique and more ‘what is to be done’. Us leftie’s need to get beyond critique, and that includes this show. You can find Nick and Alex’s book here: http://www.versobooks.com/books/1989-inventing-the-future You can also find their blog here: https://syntheticedifice.wordpress.com/ The music on this episode was: ‘The Order of the Pharaonic Jesters’ by Sun Ra and his Arkestra ‘USA iii: rail’ by Dan Deacon ‘Crying In The Chapel’ by Charles Bradley ‘Now Is The Time Of Emotion’ by Prince Rama

In today’s podcast we get philosophical about work and the meaning of life. Repeat guest John Danaher steers us away from the traditional arguments surrounding technological unemployment and towards a different set of questions: Is it possible for humans to have a meaningful existence in a world where they’ve been completely sidelined by machines? Is a life […]
