Jonathan, Quinn, and very special guest Tia, discuss the emergence of social media "activism" and how it relates to hegemonic consumerist brainwashing and surveillance. We also look at how the new generation has used their newfound ability to connect with others on a global scale.

Jonathan and Quinn distract you from this time of COVID-19 social distancing and elaborate on some interesting concepts concerning "The Machines". As technology progresses, Jonathan and Quinn cannot help but ponder the future of a technological singularity, conscious AI, android empathy, and machine learning. Prior to embarking on this, they of course include some life advice, introspective quandary, and a psychological task that you can try for yourself during quarantine boredom.

What if a thought from one mind could be transmitted to another? Will artificial intelligence ever be as capable as its human creators? What does it really mean to exist?

If you could travel to any one moment in history, what would you change? What would you ask someone who knew everything? What would you put into a machine that makes things better?
