Hey everyone! This episode was a very, very awesome experience. I had a lot of fun talking with Douglas Rushkoff. He has been named by MIT as one of the “world’s ten most influential intellectuals". He is an author and documentarian, studying human autonomy in the digital age. He has published twenty books including the just-published Team Human, based on his podcast, as well as the bestsellers Present Shock, Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, Program or Be Programmed, Life Inc, and Media Virus.We had a great conversation, talking about his newest book Team Human; the survival of the richest; how much should a company be earning? Team Human at Sillicon Valley; how Darwin’s theory has been manipulated and, much more.I encourage you to go subscribe to Team Human's Podcast and read the book Team Human. Douglas will additionally be writing 5-minute excerpts from his newest book for the next 100 weeks on Medium, so be on the lookout for that.If you find this conversation insightful, consider subscribing to the podcast at any podcast feed you use and share it with a friend, we truly appreciate your support.With you, Douglas Rushkoff.--------------------------------------Website: https://rushkoff.comMedium: https://medium.com/team-human/column/homeBook: Team HumanPodcast: https://teamhuman.fm--------------------------------------HIGHLIGHTSIntro(2:02) Jason Silva and Douglas Rushkoff(2:26) Transhumans: what do they want?(7:43) The survival of the richest(10:27) Is there a way out?(12:00) How much should a company be earning?(13:15) Why keep chasing profits?(14:00) What is capitalism?(15:15) Digital is infinite(15:45) Team Human at Sillicon Valley(17:00) Thoughts on Team Human(20:00) Fight or Flight Panic: whose fault is it?(21:56) Why is it that social media companies need us to be atomized?(24:50) Darwin’s perspective has been manipulated(26:46) What makes digital media dangerous?(28:40) What is considered as a threat, nowadays?(29:20) Are humans a catalog?(30:00) What do algorithms know about you?(31:30) Who are Team Human’s enemies?(34:47) Changes in technology(36:50) Could we use our technologies to enhance human values?(37:15) Values of our leaders(41:20) Thoughts on Judaism(47:17) How would you pitch Team Human to AI?(52:00) 1984 or brave new world?(53:30) Closing remarks--------------------------------------Thanks for tuning in for this edition of Through Conversations Podcast!If you find this episode interesting, consider subscribing to it.
