Homeward Bound (including The Great Humbling)The Great Humbling S6E5: Against The VortexIn our first episode of 2025, we get inspired by Anthony Galluzzo’s Against the Vortex to watch the cult 1974 movie Zardoz, featuring Sean Connery in what appears to be a prototype for the mankini. In Galluzzo’s book, Zardoz features as a surprisingly prescient story for thinking about techno-utopias (or dystopias), degrowth and deceleration in the 21st century, as well as bringing into view an under-recognised current of “critical Aquarianism” in 1970s counterculture, distinct from both the self-centred therapeutic turn (see Adam Curtis’s Century of the Self) and the “hippie modernist cults of technology” (touched on when we discussed ‘Spa...2025-04-301h 00
The Great Simplification with Nate HagensReimagining the Cultural Narrative: Art and Storytelling for Systemic Change with Dougald Hine(Conversation recorded on November 12th, 2024) In today’s modern era, the overwhelming flood of information that constantly flows our way can leave us feeling disoriented, lost, and powerless. Even science – our most trusted source of truth – can be taken out of context to fuel division and distort the reality around us. In the midst of this confusion, how can we learn to ground ourselves and find guideposts that can direct our lives and work?

Clean Slate: New Ideas for Justice & DemocracyEpisode 13: Everything Sucks Because No One Knows What They Are DoingFor 50 years, governments have been doing exactly what conservatives wantThe reason the economy and the world are so incredibly messed up, and that people are so angry, and divided and desperate, and that nothing seems to change no matter who gets elected is not because governments haven’t listened to neoclassical rules, it’s because they have.The idea that the problem with the economy is the government’s fault for spending too much ignores the fact that for 50 f*****g years, politicians havebeen doing exactly what businesses, and conservative voters have been asking them t...2024-12-281h 09
Lost Prophets#9. Dougald Hine on Work in the RuinsWe first encountered Dougald Hine about a year ago through the wide mycelium-like network of Ivan Illich fans—and we were glad we did. His new book was just out and we heard he was doing a book tour of the U.S. quite a few years after his first visit here. Our meetup in D.C. for Dougald a few weeks ago was a rich and delightful occasion — a time when we learned what T.S. Eliot might have meant when he wrote: “wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing.”One of the U...2024-12-1859 min
Clean Slate: New Ideas for Justice & DemocracyIf Modern Monetary Theory is wrong, why is it so much better at predicting the economy - and economic disaster?Proponents of Modern Monetary Theory have predicted many of the crises that neoclassical economists completely whiffed on, because they actually measure and include data in their model that orthodox economics does not.What is even more egregious, however, are the superficial criticisms of MMT deployed to criticize it, which amount to not understanding it, because they can’t see how it fits in with their own view. That, however, is the point. It doesn’t “fit in” with their view, it replaces it with a different one.Links:Original article: https://open.sub...2024-12-1355 min
Clean Slate: New Ideas for Justice & DemocracyFar-right extremism is rising because Canada, the U.S., UK & Europe are making the same mistakes as Social Democrats in Germany after 1929There is plenty of hand-wringing, and not much else, about the rise of far-right extremism in “the West”. Of course, there have always been such elements, but there is genuine and bitter hatred as societies splinter into tribal factions, some of them blatantantly lawless violent criminals. Authorities like police are often unable to cope with these disturbances, because from a practical point of view, they are not equipped to. Governments and police forces in Canada are not prepared for massive surges in protestors who are also breaking the law.While the factions blame each other, or government, the...2024-12-071h 27
Homeward Bound (including The Great Humbling)The Great Humbling S6E3: #DECELERATEIn this episode, we chew on a question that’s been on Dougald’s mind since a recent event in London, where Brian Eno wondered what is the difference between an analysis which says we cannot save or make sustainable the trajectories of industrial modernity and technological progress, and an accelerationist position which says we need to bring about collapse in order to release the possibilities to be found in the ruins?
