Ted Talks: Luxury Space Comms vs. AnPrims
Episode description
Everything you ever wanted to know about Ted 'the Unabomber' Kaczynski, and frankly probably a lot more you never thought about. We're joined by returning guest Tom Mahoney (@PsychAnarch) to break down Ted's ideology, his motives, his activities, and his legacy.
Then, we use Ted's work as a jumping off point to discuss competing visions for a post-capitalist future. Matt (@djtomhanks) argues for the Star Trek fully automated luxury space communism path, while Tom defends the honor of the anti-tech Anarcho Primitivists. We get into scarcity, oligarchy, propaganda, technology, misanthropy, plagues, panopticons, and all your favorite utopian concepts and dystopian motifs.
Don't sleep on this episode; 2021 is gonna be based.
