Douglas Rushkoff: Reclaiming Humanity in a Technological World

In this episode of the Re-Patterning Podcast, we're joined by media theorist Douglas Rushkoff to discuss the societal and technological patterns that govern our lives. We explore themes from Rushkoff's book 'Team Human,' including how technology programs our behavior, the nature of work in an automated future, and the importance of human connection. The conversation delves into the mindset of billionaires, the need for leisure over accumulation, and the collective grief experienced in society. We also touch on the concept of 'figure and ground' in relation to technology and humanity, and the importance of finding joy and nourishment in life. The episode concludes with a discussion on Rushkoff's upcoming graphic novel, 'Post Humans: A Mycopunk Fable,' which explores psychedelic experiences and societal transformation.Join our community on Patreon: patreon.com/therepatterningpodcastTo learn more about The Re-Patterning Project visit therepatterningproject.com.Instagram: instagram.com/therepatterningprojectFacebook: facebook.com/therepatterningprojectProduced by Tomi Trembath of the Keymaster Collective.Theme music by Andrew Means.Video animations by Mortis & Madriax.Cover photo of Arden by Al Alvarez.Logo by Adeline Dally Soothteller.Thumbnail by Amal Desai
