Global Pause - Rethink the Future episodes

  • #153: A common surpassing
    We explore the civilisational enterprise of a common surpassing, and why it is a necessity to potentialise the future  beyond the holding pattern we have accepted for life.
    15 min
  • #152: The conversation in our head
    Would we ever think our talking to ourselves is contingent on the way time is given to us as an economic good? If there is a totalising claim made on life through its presupposition, a cognitive domain is created as a result. We explore.
    20 min
  • #150: Getting ahead?
    What does "getting ahead" mean when the form of life of the consumer is the determiner for life. Will life forever be a buyers journey we cannot get ahead of. We discuss
    17 min
  • #149: Beyond good & evil
    We look at how action can be beyond good or evil, if the form of life is what is being addressed to allow people to be indivisibly given rather than being supplementary.  We discuss
    22 min
  • #148: The collapsing of timelines
    So often heard, yet what does this mean? Is it even possible when the matter of our rivalry is to secure our time against each other? Can time be collapsed if it is still an economic good? We discuss.
    14 min
  • #147: Democratisation of creativity
    What would be involved if we each took our turn to animate creation of the world beyond the way it is given? The rule of people would be given to potentialise life beyond the market made for it. We discuss.
    14 min
  • #146: The ”good” of visibility
    Why is visibility a good? We explore this through the way we are marginally given to life when we presuppose time needs to be secured, so is individualised by attributing a value for the independence we seek.
    19 min
  • #145: What parallel economy?
    A parallel economy that does not differ from the current one, holds out no change for the world, it is rather reactive and so seeks to preserve what already is rather than see an opportunity for life beyond the commerce it is otherwise framed through. We discuss.
    7 min
  • #144: The consumer as a form of life
    Is the consumer a rivalrous form of life? What is the nature of this rivalry? We explore the way how time is given to us that makes the substitutable activity of consumption an effect of a rivalry we would not recognise is its very cause.
