from Lifepod · host Adam Greenfield

Cassie Thornton of the Feminist Economics Department drops by to discuss the Hologram — a framework for viral, peer-to-peer care she developed following a visit to post-Crisis Greece, and which people all over the world are currently using to make themselves “harder to fuck with.” We talk about the Hologram works, how to start one for yourself, and how to access the resources that are available to help you do so – and a whole bunch of other stuff, including antifragility, the Flat White Dimension, Miranda Mellis’s book Crocosmia, the brain fog of war, and what it feels like to be a human rhizome.
