Our job as Team Human is not to succumb to the zero-sum mentality of the wealthy.

They’re the ones who have given up on prosperity.

They are living the nightmare.

The Intentional Collapse

The elite are committed to the end of the world, but we don't have to be.

Culture is downstream of rapport.

In his Prison Notebooks, written under the repression of Italian Fascist regime, Antonio Gramsci said politics is downstream of culture

But while politics may be downstream of culture, culture is downstream of rapport. If you don’t have rapport, then culture ends up being about difference.

Is sharing too much of a threat to the global economy, or too small to make a difference?

Both critiques are trapped in the mindset of scale. As if everything has to or is going to happen all at once.

It doesn’t.

I run a Media Studies MA program at CUNY/Queens, and the number of international applications has dropped precipitously. I assume it's fear of being here on a student visa, but wondering if anyone else at a grad program and is noticing the same, and how bad? We're at 10-20% of normal.

I was thrilled to join the brilliant Doug @rushkoff.com on his Team Human podcast to say things that TV news people rarely if ever say about TV news...

...and, of course, to discuss The Fucking News!

A public school district is considering whether to ban my book on tech billionaires, Survival of the Richest, for violating Trump's order on ridding DEI from schools. (I do not argue for giving tech bros equity/inclusion, so I'm not sure what the fuss would be about...)

Books On Race, Poor Before Lyons Township High Board

The list comes as Trump tries to ax DEI from schools. His administration threatens to stop the flow of money to violators.
