Live Chat 4 pm EST
Please join me, Jamie Wheal, and (hopefully) Douglas Rushkoff today as we consider current events
Hi folks,
Today at 4 pm EST, I will host a Substack Live with Jamie Wheal and Douglas Rushkoff to discuss the ongoing chaos and madness of Trumpocalypse 2: The Sequel. We will also consider how the psychedelic movement got absorbed into Right Wing libertarianism, explore the need for a new initiatory culture, and other fun stuff as it comes up. Here is the link to join:
Also, I just posted a Youtube video essay on the subject of imminent massive job loss due to Artificial Intelligence (thank you to my producer, Jordan Albert Byrne). AI is already making inroads into many professions and could absorb as many as 50% of White Collar jobs within the next five years, according to estimates, as well as eliminating entry level jobs in many fields. Please watch and share this video (and “like” and subscribe) here:
I would love to hear what you think of this format — also, let us know what we can do better as we intend to produce more of these. This video is part of a series preparing for our upcoming seminar, Breaking the AI Barrier. Learn more about it and sign up here:
Thank you,
Daniel








The YouTube video will feel better and more natural to viewers if you setup the framing to have a little more space above your head visible. You can turn on the camera rule of third grid lines and aim to have your eyes hitting the top horizontal grid line and either centered or intersecting with the right side perpendicular line.
I’m never sure if/when a recording of the video will show up. I keep missing them live.
