In this week’s episode, I am joined by Adam Turl, author of the book “Gothic Capitalism,” Published by Revol Press (where I am also going to be publishing my book): https://www.revolpress.com/gothic-capitalism

Adam and I debate the hot topic of AI Art, what counts as art, the democratization of art, and how capitalism fundamentally limits the potential of art & human creativity. 

In The Backroom on Patreon, Adam and I discuss some tough questions with regard to how Art should be treated in a socialist society, where the Soviet Union went wrong, human nature, Machiavell, and a bunch of other stuff! Become a Patron at ⁠Patreon.com/OneDime⁠ if you haven’t already!
