Episode 5: Psychopolitics

from Waking from Death Hosted by Adrian and Brett

We discuss Byung-Chul Han's 2017 philosophical work "Psychopolitics, Neoliberalism and New Technologies of Power" "Today we are no longer farmers, but hunters instead in search of prey. Information hunters wandering through the web like through a digital battlefield." What is freedom in an environment of total optimization and information transparency? What is freedom when Hegel’s Master-Slave Dialectic applies to each individual? When you are an auto-exploiting subject, both master and slave together at the same time.
