It’s always funny how government debt increases, government spending decreases, but military spending increases. I hesitate to say that blockchain will help, but decentralization certainly will. I do believe that the Internet is getting back to enabling individuals and greater peer-to-peer communication, collaboration, and distribution of goods. We all thought we were driving a wedge back in the 80’s. I think that with recent “tech worker” movements we’re at least starting to influence big tech to a certain degree, but it’s difficult to say we’re driving a wedge. I wish I had that vene(ish) diagram of all the dystopia and where we are currently. can you comment on the stasis of military-intel-industrial complex, which permitted the ruling class to run wild? isn’t that the intentional subversive humor of Max Headroom, originally pointed at TPTB as they consolidated their empires into a Rollerball future? (Now of course we have advanced from Rollerball and Logan’s Run to Hunger Games….)
The macroeconomic summary was good… damn the 80s were nightmarish, the economic divide (of Reagan and Thatcher) took off like a rocket, and here we are. do you think we are driving a wedge into the brittle, stupid corporate media? Mlex: “raiding the authenticity from past generations into meme-ified versions of itself.” good stuff! here we are in 2020, in a discord conference. I’m leaving the Discord open for most of the day (and tomorrow), and will be explicitly lurking in this channel when my presentation time comes around. A good example is conversational software pioneer (and Botkit creator) Ben Brown. I do have an “ extended cut” of the presentation too that adds about a minute or two of additional content that I had to cut in order to make the time limit.Īs I started work on these Max Headroom pieces, it was amazing to see several fans come out of the shadows. When the announcement came out about the Cyberpunk Culture Conference… I knew that I had consolidate all of this into a presentation. I’m going to drop a few links to explain some background on how the presentation came about.įirst, I co-host a podcast called Codepunk and my co-host wanted to explore the original TV movie on one of our episodes.Ī few months later, I decided to use Max Headroom as a topic for our robot+beer newsletter.įinally, the Codepunk YouTube channel does a series called Digital Shots, and we recorded one for Max Headroom. Michael: Thanks to those that watched my presentation.
