Bo and Douglas consider the other, positive side of social media — how it still gives young people a way to test and share social strategies and express themselves. A conversation with many inspired tangents, Douglas and Bo also look at the ways social media pressures us to live our lives like a performance in a movie, the tragedy of becoming trapped in metanarratives, and how to get ahead of a self-satirizing internet. Today’s conversation references Douglas’s Frontline documentaries <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/generation-like/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Generation Like</a> and <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">The Merchants of Cool</a>Clips from Bo Burnham’s Netflix show <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80106124" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Make Happy</a>, also appear in this episode.

Jamie Cohen

Playing for Team Human today: media and technology scholar Jamie Cohen. Jamie will be helping us understand the commodity of authenticity. His work looks at the ways authenticity is quantized and codified on media platforms such as YouTube. It’s a process through which trust and connection become instrumentalized as tools for the monetization and manipulation of audience attention. Jamie warns how, coupled with powerful algorithms, the gaming of authenticity threatens serious social consequences. Jamie joins Douglas to discuss his research, including his case studies of famous YouTubers like Tyler Oakley and Casey Neistat. Together they dig into the promise and peril of "populist" digital technologies; blogging, VR, and beyond. Jamie Cohen Is a professor at Molloy College where he started the New Media Program. He researches social media, memes, digital culture, and virtual reality. Learn more about Jamie’s work at http://www.jamesncohen.com/Douglas opens with a monologue on how we all became Russia's "useful idiots."Selected works cited for today’s show: Open TV by Aymar Jean ChristianWalter Benjamin’s The Work of Art in the Age of Mechnical ReproductionZeynep Tufekci “We’re Building A Dystopia Just To Make People Click On Ads”Douglas Rushkoff’s 2004 PBS FRONTLINE documentary The Persuaders and his 2014 documentary Generation LikeMusic Credits: Opening the show, we’re trying out a new Team Human original, recorded and performed by TH producer Stephen Bartolomei fading into a track from Team Human Episode 31 guest R.U.

Jamie Cohen "The Commodity of Authenticity"

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge has been one of my dearest and most human friends for the past few decades. Gen’s a musician, icon, cut-and-paste artist, occultist, and pandrogyne with whom I’ve worked and played in many ways over the years. Gen founded The Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, and Psychic TV, with whom I played keyboards in the early 2000’s. Gen also embarked on a very personal cut-and-paste experiment with partner Jackie, where they both sought to unite through psychic and physical remixing. Gen is currently challenged with a case of leukemia and has to stay close to the oxygen machine. But it seemed like a good excuse to bring out the portable recorder (generously funded by our Patreon subscribers!) and have a conversation. Visit the GoFundMe Campaign for Genesis Breyer P-Orridge https://www.gofundme.com/genesis-breyer-porridgeStephen decided to leave this mostly unedited, to give y’all a taste for what it’s like to sit in Gen’s apartment and just have a real conversation. Don’t worry, though - a conversation with Gen is a conversation about the fate of our species and reality itself. Please accept it as our holiday gift. -DouglasAll the music on today's show comes from Genesis' extensive catalog:Just Like Arcadia from Allegory and Self (PTV 1988)Caresse Song from Allegory and Self (PTV 1988)Distant Dreams-Part Two from Mission of Dead Souls (Throbbing Gristle)Thank You Part II from Thank You (PTV/PTV3 2011)Walkabout from 20 Jazz Funk Greats (Throbbing Gristle 1979 )Hot On The Heels of Love from 20 Jazz Funk Greats (Throbbing Gristle 1979)Lies and Then from Hell is Invisible, Heaven is Her/E (PTV3 - 2007 feat.

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge "Weaponized Pleasure"

Geert Lovink

Playing for Team Human today: media activist and scholar Geert Lovink. Geert will be helping us see how an understanding of the political economy is not enough. We have to reacquaint ourselves with the experiential layer of our humanity and even reclaim our sadness to counter the stultifying effects of platform capitalism. Today, when our sources of information are intimately intertwined with our social lives, it’s not as simple as just “going offline.” How can we overcome the anti-human agendas embedded in our technology? Today’s show reaches back to the origins of what became known as “tactical media” — using interactive media to promote the human agenda. Geert makes the case for reawakening this sensibility. You can learn more about Geert at networkedcultures.org and discover his forthcoming book Sad By Design: On Platform Nihilism.Team Human the manifesto is hot off the press! Order yours here. Ships in January. We've come to the end of the Team Human year! We are grateful for an amazing season of shows and live events, all made possible thanks to the support of our dedicated listeners.

Geert Lovink on "Sad by Design" (Corrected Audio)

A unique episode of Team Human, on today's show Douglas Rushkoff is joined by longtime friend and counterculture legend R.U. Sirius (aka Ken Goffman), founding editor of Mondo 2000. R.U. will help us evaluate the place of the counterculture in the digital landscape. Is counterculture even possible today? Is humanity itself the counterculture as we resist increasingly quantified and abstracted lives? Together R.U. and Rushkoff playfully and thoughtfully examine these questions while asserting those quirky yet challenging expressions of humanity not so easily reduced to code or marketing demographics.The music on today's show comes from a variety of R.U. Sirius's musical projects. Visit https://rusirius.bandcamp.com/  to listen. Follow Sirius's work at https://stealthissingularity.com/.

Douglas and Vinnie explore the difference between making music together, the biases of music-production technology, what Vinnie has learned from working artists like Frank Zappa, the importance of flow-state, and what it is like to be one of the most in-demand studio musicians.—Vinnie Colaiuta is an award-winning drummer based in Los Angeles. He famously worked for Frank Zappa as his principal drummer for studio and live performances. His performances on Zappa's albums Tinsel Town Rebellion, Joe's Garage and Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar are considered by many drummers to be among the most astounding ever recorded. Joe's Garage was named one of the top-25 drumming performances of all time in a 1993 Modern Drummer article.After leaving Zappa, Colaiuta went on to work with a long list of notable rock and pop artists, including Sting, Gino Vannelli, Joni Mitchell, Barbra Streisand, Sandy &amp; Junior, Clannad, Wang Chung, Chaka Khan, and Jeff Beck. He has also appeared with many notable jazz musicians, including Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Haslip, Quincy Jones, the Buddy Rich Big Band and Buell Neidlinger.— Find out more about Vinnie’s work at: https://breakfastwithvinnie.com/Find about all of our guests, listen to past shows &amp; discover live events at http://teamhuman.fmYou can read written versions of Douglas Rushkoff’s show monologues at Medium: https://medium.com/@rushkoff — Support Us — Team Human is made possible thanks to the generous support of our listeners on Patreon. On Patreon: http://patreon.com/teamhuman Become a Contributing Subscriber: TeamHuman.fmReview the show on Apple Podcasts!— Follow Team Human Show —Twitter: http://twitter.com/teamhumanshowInstagram: http://instagram.com/teamhumanshow Medium: http://medium.com/teamhuman#TeamHumanShow #FindTheOthers— Follow Douglas Rushkoff — Twitter: http://twitter.com/rushkoff Medium: https://medium.com/@rushkoff Instagram: http://instagram.com/douglasrushkoff Facebook: https://facebook.com/rushkoff/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rushkoff/ — Credits — Hosted by Douglas RushkoffProduced by Josh ChapdelaineAudio Edited &amp; Mixed by Luke Robert Mason Music by Fugazi (On this Episode you heard “Foreman’s Dog” in the intro - thanks to the kindness of the band and Dischord Records.)Special thanks to Stephen Bartolomei who is busy drumming to his own beat.Team Human is a Production of the Laboratory for Digital Humanism at Queens CUNY.

Vinnie Colaiuta "Rhythm is Life"

Paul Krassner

Playing for Team Human today radical activist, counter-cultural icon, and founder of The Realist magazine, Paul Krassner (1932-2019).Krassner and Rushkoff explore how the combination of fabricated news, scandals and outrage - otherwise known as mind fucking - were once the tools employed by anarchic activists. They discuss how a one-time violin prodigy became the pioneer of the US underground press, and how being an optimist might be our best defence against the challenging times we face. In his opening monologue, Rushkoff shares how we might make the internet a more human-friendly domain through a simple response to the net’s original sin: algorithmic customization. Find out more about Paul Krassner: http://paulkrassner.com Find about all of our guests, listen to past shows &amp; discover live events at http://teamhuman.fmYou can read written versions of Douglas Rushkoff’s show monologues at Medium: https://medium.com/@rushkoff— Support Us — Team Human is made possible thanks to the generous support of our listeners on Patreon.On Patreon: http://patreon.com/teamhumanBecome a Contributing Subscriber: TeamHuman.fmReview the show on Apple Podcasts!— Follow Team Human Show —Twitter: http://twitter.com/teamhumanshowInstagram: http://instagram.com/teamhumanshowMedium: http://medium.com/teamhuman#TeamHumanShow #FindTheOthers— Follow Douglas Rushkoff — Twitter: http://twitter.com/rushkoffMedium: https://medium.com/@rushkoffInstagram: http://instagram.com/douglasrushkoffFacebook: https://facebook.com/rushkoff/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rushkoff/— Credits — Hosted by Douglas RushkoffProduced by Josh ChapdelaineAudio Edited &amp; Mixed by Luke Robert MasonMusic by Fugazi (On this Episode you heard “Foreman’s Dog” in the intro – thanks to the kindness of the band and Dischord Records.)Special thanks to Stephen Bartolomei who is busy countering culture.Team Human is a Production of the Laboratory for Digital Humanism at Queens College.

Jonathan Larsen

Playing for Team Human is Jonathan Larsen. Larsen is a journalist, comedy writer, and TV producer who has worked on the Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart, Up w/ Chris Hayes, and Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann. Larsen recently launched TheFingNews.com, a news digest that brings context, analysis, and humor to the daily news.Jonathan joins Douglas Rushkoff to talk about the Fucking News and the new Indivertible Guide. In a wide-ranging conversation, Larsen and Rushkoff look behind the scenes of reporting and discuss propaganda, fake news, and strategies for resisting the reality TV show era of the Trump presidency.From the Indivertible Guide:“We believe that the next four—Jesus H. Christ—years depend on citizens across the country standing indivertible against the mainstream media bullshit agenda. Our premise is that even evil Trump supporters and craven TV news people are good at heart. We believe that buying into TV news’ false crises and speculative narratives will only further empower Trump to victimize our fellow citizens or, even worse, us (the specific, actual humans writing this). We hope that this guide will provide those who share these beliefs with useful tools to transform TV news.”Photo credit: Vin Crosbie via Visualhunt.com / CC BY-ND Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Yancey Strickler

Playing for Team Human today, Cofounder of Kickstarter &amp; The Creative Independent and author of the newly published book, “This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World,” Yancey Strickler.Strickler joins Team Human to discuss his vision for building a society that looks beyond money and toward optimizing for humans. What are ways we can protect our human weaknesses? How can we appropriately scale a business to fit the needs of humans instead of growth for growth's sake? Further, he discusses his concept of Bentoism, a model created based on the belief, "...that our self-interest isn’t solely defined by what we want and need right now. Our self-interest extends to the considerations of our future selves, the people who rely on us, and the next generation." He discusses how this model can help humans discover what it's like to be self-coherent and situate themselves as both individuals and as a collective."This Could Be Out Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World" is now available: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/591594/this-could-be-our-future-by-yancey-strickler/Learn more about Bentoism: http://bentoism.org/Team Human Podcast supporters can get sainted at Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping’s Earth Riot on Sunday, December 15, at 2:00 PM at Joe’s Pub at The Public.

Ep. 30 Bas van Abel "Fingerprints on the Touchscreen"

David Sax

Playing for Team Human today is author and Bloomberg Businessweek and New Yorker columnist David Sax. Sax’s latest book Revenge of the Analog, Real Things and Why They Matter explores the resurgence of the tactile, human-to-human, brick-and-mortar encounters that characterize the analog experience. How might our rekindled love of vinyl LPs, local book stores, and face-to-face interaction help reground society to the physical realities of land, labor, and our fellow humans? Sax and Rushkoff explore the real world experiences and  “flesh and blood consequences" that lie just beyond the glow of our screens and mediated environments.In today’s show monologue, Rushkoff looks at the extreme political and policy binaries being pushed by the Trump administration. He argues for an embrace of liminal spaces; the continuous, ambiguous, and messy analog work of building peace in these turbulent times.Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 29 Caroline Jack "What Counts As Propaganda?"

William Hogeland

On this week’s Team Human, we discover one of the reasons why knowing history matters. William Hogeland, author of Autumn of the Black Snake, tells the story of how and why the US Army was created - not to defend our borders, but to wipe out indigenous nations. And all that, in an effort to satisfy the growth mandate embedded in our economy by heroes of the neoliberal left like Alexander Hamilton. Make no mistake: Hogeland is a live wire.The show opens with a related monologue from Rushkoff about why successful businesses should refrain from scaling up. How about staying local, and letting other companies just copy your model? Why and how has the need to scale and colonize new territory become our default?Purchase Autumn of the Black Snake:  Indie Bound -or- AmazonRead more from Hogeland on the book here.Team Human is supported thanks to listeners.

Ep. 03 Esteban Kelly “Solidarity”

Clive Thompson

Playing for Team Human today and closing out this season of the show; author and New York Times and Wired contributor Clive Thompson. Clive is a keen observer of human beings and the way different media and technological environments change how we see ourselves and our purpose. His latest book, Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World, looks at the ways coders are engaged in not only programing our technologies, but programming our reality. In this free-form Team Human conversation, Douglas and Clive discuss the embedded logic behind the codes that shape our society– looking all the way back to Torah, and then on to contemporary platforms.What values are being coded into our everyday experience? Is there still space for that very human, weird, and eclectic expressions of technology we once celebrated at the dawn of the internet?Rushkoff and Thompson bring both a critical eye and sense of hope to the project of writing human virtue and value back into the programming that shapes our experience of the world.Douglas opens with a monologue on the significance of language, specifically the machine metaphors, that also shape our understanding of reality. What do we lose when we think of human persons as as objects, “human resources,” inputs and outputs? Is there something more to being human than just being a producer in a system?Team Human will be taking a much needed break. We’ll still be working, just at a more human pace. We’re going to spend some time updating, planning, and researching the next season. Take some time to dig through the archive of our 129 shows. Check out the Team Human manifesto.

Ep. 129 Clive Thompson "The Lust for Scale"

Mitch Horowitz

Playing for Team Human today, occult scholar and author Mitch Horowitz. Mitch, the author of Occult America (Bantam); One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life (Crown); and Mind As Builder: The Positive-Mind Metaphysics of Edgar Cayce(A.R.E. Press) joins Douglas for a conversation about the shared histories of magic, capitalism, and American political thought. It’s a conversation that asks questions about the nature of the mind and the power of enthusiasm. What about optimism? What about celebration? What about anomalous behavior? Horowitz and Rushkoff make an argument for the progressive power of wild possibility – including the possibility that humans are not reducible to mere fleshy robots. The music you hear in the intro and outro is thanks to Fugazi and Dischord Records. In the middle is a clip by Team Human friend and episode 31 guest, RU Sirius. Please share a review of Team Human on iTunes. Thank you for sustaining support via Patreon!
