Author and activist Naomi Klein engages with Rushkoff about life in the technopoly, and how the inequality of the digital age must be met with a structural critique of capitalism
🎙 In his monologue, Rushkoff makes the case to enact a Gentle Awakening for our loved ones who have become addicted to conspiracy fever.
“There is no man behind the curtain, no secret cabal controlling our destinies, no marvelous or nefarious plan driving Covid, vote counting, or global affairs. They need to awaken to something way way more frightening than politicians eating children: shit just happens, no one is in charge, and chaos reigns.” Rushkoff says.
📖 You can read a written version of Rushkoff’s monologue, Plunging Into the Abyss on Medium.
🌍 Naomi Klein’s newest book, How to Change Everything: The Young Human’s Guide to Protecting the Planet and Each Other, is available now.
