99. Human Nature and How to Escape from "The Mindset": Dr. Douglas Rushkoff (Bestselling author of "Survival of the Richest," "Team Human," and many others)
Send us a text
For centuries, we have been stuck in the matrix of "The Mindest," the need for ever-exponential, economic growth. Sucked into the "game" of capitalism, we have toiled for monetary benefits always searching to double, triple, and quadruple the GDP. But, beneath every socio-economic structure is the creator's perception of human nature. For us to understand the world and escape "The Mindset," we must know what human nature really is. These questions and many more are discussed in this interview with Dr. Douglas Rushkoff (full bio below). The basis of this interview, Dr. Rushkoff's latest book, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, was released on September 9th, 2022.
Topics:
- What is "The Mindset?"
- What is human nature and how does wealth change us?
- The origins of "The Mindset"
- The mythologies of America and their effect on our perspective
- How to fight "The Mindset" and make the world a better place
- Transitioning from an "exponential" economy to a "regenerative" economy
- Promoting freedom in our products
- What books have had an impact on Dr. Rushkoff?
- What advice does Dr. Rushkoff have for teenagers?
Douglas Rushkoff is professor of media theory and digital economics at Queens/CUNY. Named one of the world's ten most influential intellectuals by MIT, he hosts the Team Human podcast and has written many award-winning books. He lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
