  • Dríade Aguiar "Culture Makes History"

    Playing for Team Human today, co-founder and co-editor of Mídia NINJA, Dríade Aguiar.


    Aguiar explains how and why to center the voices of those are are experiencing reality on the ground. She looks at those who make the future and explains how it's accomplished, how we can stop injustices that are happening to real people in real places, and looks at how activist and media efforts can help to address the destruction of the Amazon in an effective way.


    In his opening monologue, Rushkoff explains how the left and the right have both untethered themselves from reality in different ways. He shows us how our cybernetic feedback loops have disoriented our sensibilities, and the role that Operation Mindfuck played in our current moment.

  • Jim Rutt "An Invitation to Game B"

    Playing for Team Human, complexity theorist, host of the Jim Rutt Podcast series, and former chairman the Santa Fe Institute, Jim Rutt.


    Rutt shares his idea for a new civilization-era operating system. Why does the the United States' outdated operating system call for a radical change to a more equitable and humane landscape? "If the glue that holds Game A together is competition for status through material possessions and positional goods. The status around GameB will be conviviality." Rutt says.


    In his opening monologue, Rushkoff questions whether covid-19 is leading people to embrace and insulate within digital technology, or if it has become the excuse.

  • Nora Bateson "The Changemaker's Trap"

    Playing for Team Human today, filmmaker, writer, educator, and systems thinker, Nora Bateson.


    Bateson and Rushkoff interrogate our moment of global crisis to challenge the very systems that drive human behavior and thought. Further, they explore why quantifying humans as part of a system reduces people to abstract figures rather than the complex beings they truly are. "There's something about this possibility of recognizing living complexity in ourselves and each other that becomes this untold possibility," Bateson says.


    In his opening monologue, Rushkoff discusses why Team Human’s greatest strength is not in a specific physical space, but in the form of deeply honest, human engagement.

  • Michael Nesmith "Life After Television"

    Playing for Team Human today, musician, producer, and inventor of the music video, Michael Nesmith.


    Nesmith will be sharing his insights about what it was like to live inside the reality television show that we’re all living in today. Nesmith discusses his self-awareness of existing in a television environment, the influence the Monkees' music had on the Beatles, and the psychic effects the show had on a generation of technology and psychedelic icons.


    In his opening monologue, Rushkoff explores the logics behind those who believe Covid-19 will one day disappear. “We need to see the virus as a scientific, biological, and an informational challenge.” Rushkoff says.


    Michael Nesmith's autobiography, Life After Television, is available now from Penguin Random House: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/538474/infinite-tuesday-by-michael-nesmith/

  • Matt Stoller "Make America Ours Again"

    Playing for Team Human today, author of “Goliath: The Hundred Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy,” and Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project, Matt Stoller.


    Stoller disinters the ground of neoliberalism and looks at how we can reclaim democracy from the market. What are ways for us to make sense of -- and reform -- economic systems that veil themselves as apolitical? Further, Rushkoff and Stoller discuss how neoliberal economic policy influenced both left and right political ideology in the twentieth century, how it contributed to President Obama'a bank bailouts, and explore alternative economic models that prioritize humans over capital.


    In his monologue, Rushkoff looks at how black communities have for centuries harbored a spirit of support and mutual aid that the rest of us are discovering only now.

  • Julie Holland, M.D. "Good Chemistry"

    Playing for Team Human today, psychiatrist and author of "Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection, from Soul to Psychedelics," Julie Holland, M.D.


    Holland explores how people can bring elements of their psychedelic experiences into their everyday lives. She looks at the role compassion plays in the psychedelic experience and how developmental disorders can be aided by these experiences. Further, Rushkoff and Holland look at ways that humans have been polarized into their own personalized silos, and the importance of lifting people out of isolation so they can be more empathetic and better learn about one another.


    In his monologue, Rushkoff discusses how Twitter's modus operandi of rigid binaries attempts to simplify a world that can't be deduced beyond its lived experience.


    Good Chemistry by Julie Holland, M.D. is now available: http://www.harperwave.com/book/9780062862884/Good-Chemistry-Julie-Holland.

  • Richard Metzger "Do They Owe Us A Living?"

    Playing for Team Human today, counterculture icon and Editor of Dangerous Minds, Richard Metzger. Metzger envisions what life might look like on the dole and what that means for the future of the counterculture.


    Rushkoff and Metzger consider whether the ideals of yesterday’s counterculture were so successful that they’ve become the new over culture? And if so, who are really the new revolutionaries? They also consider the effect Covid-19 will have on a new generation’s financial prospects, and whether the underlying flaws in capitalism will finally be laid bare.


    In his monologue, Rushkoff looks at the way our policing problems can only be solved if we fund and utilize other kinds of civil servants instead of just ones with weapons.

  • Tyson Yunkaporta "Find the Other Others"

    Playing for Team Human today, senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne and author of "Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save The World," Tyson Yunkaporta


    Yunkaporta helps us apply an indigenous lens to see our global crises in a more actionable and inclusive way. Where did western culture go wrong? How did the shift from a circular understanding of time to a linear model of time affect human perception of progress? How did indigenous practices of psychedelic drugs lose their meaning without their proper contexts and spiritual guidance? 


    In his opening monologue, Rushkoff discusses how regenerative thinking and practice can be applied across broad spectrums to help understand how to integrate all parts of life -- from production to externalities -- into our actions and mindsets.

  • Martin Winiecki "The Great Unveiling"

    Playing for Team Human today, co-worker at the Tamera Peace Research & Education Center, writer, and activist, Martin Winiecki.


    Winiecki discusses the underlying societal causes of Covid-19 and looks at the values people will need to hold in order to heal. He explores the need to transform and integrate the economic, conscious, and erotic structures to help create values like mutual support, solidarity, and trust within a community. Further, he looks at how the technological and economic structures intended to keep us physically distant from one another have been exposed and exacerbated during this crisis.


    In his monologue, Rushkoff discusses how mass coherence is Team Human's secret weapon against craziness and corruption in government.

About RUSHKOFF

From the publisher's feed

Douglas Rushkoff sits down with scientists, activists, artists, philosophers, and researchers asking the same question: who actually benefits from the way we've built this world — and what do we do…
