Apple’s Vision Pro is a bad product with an even worse vision for the future of computation.

New sales numbers prove it’s a failure, but more than that it shows the idea of tech’s inevitability is a myth. We can stop tech that doesn’t serve us. disconnect.blog/the-vision-pro…

Transhumanists like to claim eugenicist Julian Huxley was the first to use the term, but he secularized ideas he took from the French priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who drew from Dante’s Divine Comedy.

I had such a fascinating conversation with Meghan O’Gieblyn!

Tech Won't Save Us new episode feels calling me out specifically cuz I discovered transhumanism in Catholic school lol

This is a really interesting episode (and also it's good that I'm not in charge of naming things as I would definitely call Transhumanism 'LawnmowerManism')

Just listening to this now and hard agree with David Moscrop's pull-quote up top of the episode, and this one here. Too many can't /won't analyze power. Was explaining #C18 to someone the other week & summed it up as, 'If this issue were an AITA post, the verdict would be ESH.'

Apps like DraftKings are raking in cash while downplaying the harmful social impacts of their business model. Governments should be reining in sports gambling instead of allowing it to spread, but they’re more interested in the tax revenue. Important episode with Alex Shephard!

Since 2018, sports betting has been quickly legalized across much of the US — and it’s created countless problems.

This week Alex Shephard joins Paris Marx to discuss how it fueled gambling addition and could threaten the integrity of sports.

Another great podcast from Tech Won't Save Us

Paris Marx's discussion of reflexivity and accountability towards the end (and his general good practice in these matters) is so important and unsurprisingly in short supply in the mainstream (tech) media

Elon Musk declared he wouldn’t comply with orders from Brazil’s Supreme Court to ban far-right users involved in an attempted coup.

It shows how Musk uses Twitter to amplify fascism, but also why many countries are fed up with unaccountable US tech firms. disconnect.blog/elon-musk-is-a…

Read this piece, had a good chuckle, after listening to Paris Marx and Edward Ongweso Jr destroy Kara Swisher's self-serving memoir on the latest episode of Tech Won't Save Us. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kar…
