James Poulos - Tech Doomerism & Superhumanism

You can support this podcast and get early releases at https://www.patreon.com/aksubversive​​​​      Or check out my writing on Substack at https://www.alexkaschuta.substack.com​ I speak to James Poulos, author, scholar, and master of the esoteric tweet about the promise, limits, and the sheer body horror of tech. We chat about the Silicon Valley counter-elite, technological slavery (the reality, not the book), the religious nature of man, the manly nature of religion and try to answer the question: "Does it sting more if your tyrant is a machine?" James is a delight to talk to and one of the deepest thinkers on the subject of the interplay between religion and technology today. James Poulos is the Executive Editor of The American Mind. He is also the author of "The Art of Being Free," a contributing editor at American Affairs, and a fellow at the Centre of the Study of Digital Life. His recommended subversive thinker is Norbert Weiner and his book "God & Golem, Inc." You can find James' newest cryptic but very rewarding output on his Twitter @jamespoulos
