About 3 months ago, I don’t remember exactly and didn’t save the YT video interview by Danny Jones of Douglas Rushkoff. I hadn’t been aware of the latter’s works at all… Just shows how atomised culture has become really or perhaps I had become. A couple of days ago Julian Dorey interviewed Douglas Rushkoff again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FvEAeAHmUY It’s a long form interview, and many interesting points and themes which have been discussed and explored here before. It does get interesting (2hours 19 minutes in) in how the population has been deliberately atomised in the form of the housing (Levittown) provided to the millions of returning troops from WW2. The first example of modern suburbia, planned atomisation to nuclear family structures and the economic and control drivers for doing so and it’s consequences by design. And how it fits into the great reset and transhumanism themes.
So I invested in his book below.
“Life Inc: How the World Became a Corporation and How to Take It Back,”
Worth a watch and having just scanned through it so far, the book seems to remain extremely on point 15 years later and the consequences even more obvious.
