Cursive, AI, and Technocracy: Who Controls the Future? | 05-29-26

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley tackle three big topics in one episode. First, why schools' killing cursive handwriting is not just an inconvenience but a deliberate attack on heritage and literacy. Then a deep dive into AI: who controls it, what it will do to jobs and society, and why the real danger is not the technology itself but who holds the reins. Finally, a hard look at a proposed 40,000-acre AI data center in rural Utah, the staggering power and water demands, the broken promises, and the populist pushback being dismissed as unpatriotic.
