COPAGANDA with Alec Karakatsanis

Please join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/DystopiaNow

For the first half of the episode, we talked about the Semafor reveal of Silicon Valley groupchats and Marc Andreessen's posting addiction + Èmile's article on End Times Eschatology. We covered Yudkowsky's "Fun Theory," cryogenically freezing your head, and the connection between transhumanists and Christianity.

Then, we talked to author and former public defender Alec Karakatsanis about his new book Copanganda and the way we are all propagandized about policing and crime. Alec is the founder of the Civil Rights Corps, an organization designed to advocate for racial justice and bring systemic civil rights cases on behalf of impoverished people.

This was such a good interview. Apologies for Kate's slightly bad audio in this, we had some internet issues and had to record on the phone.
