Description
Barry and Mike discuss the recent Adam McKay film Don't Look Up. They argue that the film plot and characters are a representation of Bernard Steigler's conceptions of algorithmic governmentally and functional stupidity. These concepts were covered in two earlier episodes that you can go back and listen to, but they to a recap for listeners who may not be familiar. By the time the discussion ends they discuss the impact of a mediated existence on individual development, how a fully aware algorithm can predict you mood but miss armageddon, and why the idea of armageddon isn't too much of a problem but the events in the movie left them hopeless. Enjoy!
