The perfect plan doesn’t exist (but it kind of does)
from Cappuccino and Croissant [English version] · host Harmonie de Mieville
What if the future was already written?This episode is dense, subversive, and deliciously uncomfortable. We break down the seductive promises of order and progress—sold to us by dystopian fiction… and by real life.📌 In this episode:— Isaac Asimov’s Foundation and the illusion of a predictable future— Psychohistory, utilitarianism, and the fantasy of a flawless masterplan— God-like AIs, “benevolent” erasure, and the rational façade that justifies the unjustifiable— Glitch as a final act of rebellion, from Mr. Robot to Andor, from The Mule… to you— And what’s left to save when everything’s optimized—except humanity🔥 A deep dive that explodes the boundaries between fiction and reality, technology and power, comfort and control.🎙️ Cappuccino & Croissant is a sharp, unfiltered voice that uses pop culture to dissect dominant narratives.One subject. One scalpel. One hard truth at a time.—💥 If this episode hit something real, support independent creation (and help me keep doing this work full-time):🌐 My site: https://cappcroissantmedia.com🤝 Patreon: https://patreon.com/harmoniedemieville💸 PaypalMe: https://paypal.me/harmoniedemievilleThanks for listening.
