“It’s undeniable that there is an idea that’s come into our collective life which is about reductionism: ‘We’re just biological robots, we’re just machines, love is chemicals.’ You can see echoes of this throughout history… But you can see it increasing and increasing and increasing in the ways that we treat each other, the ways we think about the livingness of technology… That is the approach (of Ahriman)…”

– from my conversation with Douglas Rushkoff on the latest episode of his podcast, TEAM HUMAN

No podcast this week, but in a mess up to a full solo episode about Steiner’s concept of Ahriman, I’m on the latest ep of my friend Doug’s show.

You probably know Doug from his many many books including Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires and Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity. Or maybe you know him from the many episodes of AEWCH we’ve done together.

In any case this is one of our best, most in-depth (but also friendliest!) conversations ever.
Esotericism, data centers, AI, social threefolding, and more. Really excited to share this with you.

I’ve also written a full post about my first meeting with Doug (we were naked, it happened through a spell) – you can get that full post when you:
