Do Your Own Research is a new show from Novara Media about the systems that make the modern world possible. We’re building a map of everything that has ever mattered and everything that ever will. In the first four shows: 1. We’ve mapped the history of the giant agricultural systems that provide much of the world with cheap food with Charles Mann @CharlesCMann 2. We’ve diagrammed the history of the ‘cheap nature’ regimes that transformed the ecology of the globe with Jason Moore @oikeios 3. We’ve watched a split in the military industrial complex emerge between the old and sprawling ‘primes’ and the newer tech defense startups like Palantir and Anduril with Susannah Glickman 4. And we’ve delved (iykyk) into the AI economy and its slave-driven underbelly with Marek Poliks. There’s much more to come ⏬ links in thread

@HendersonClark Do you mean the map? Intention is to have it on the website soon

@richardhwrites This needs to be up at Novara with links, strings and all.

I am really happy that Anton and I got to have this conversation – I learned a lot, and maybe you will too: youtu.be/KCFDp_kxT_4

I’m not entirely convinced by these additions – it seems like even without the actual existence of a mass left movement, plenty on the right are willing to hallucinate one – just like the original Nazis hallucinated a threat from the Jews. Just listen to any of the many far-right podcasts doing the rounds in the last five years: they feel deeply embattled, even if the power they believe the left to have we barely feel ourselves. (See my previous conversation with Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff for how even the mildest workers’ organising broke the brain of a certain owner of this website.) youtube.com/watch?v=hn89Xx…

Do Your Own Research this week hosts @AntonJaegermm to talk about Hyperpolitics. It’s a theory that explains our extreme politics and our extreme isolation at once. We went well beyond the usual ‘smartphones bad’ takes, and into the deep history of politics, the explosive new Gen Z revolutions, and the one true theory of fascism. link below ⏬

Elon Musk – the most amazing man, engineer, CEO and poster in history – is barely a person anymore. He’s a system. But what’s the future of this system? Where does it go from here? Will we get Carbon Musk, Contractor Musk, Compound Musk or Cyborg Musk? I spoke to Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff to find out

Welcome to the deep fates program, @novaramedia

@theojuliafrench @novaramedia Heidegger failed to consider the graphical user interface

@theojuliafrench @novaramedia Just you wait! The Clearing in Being will eventually reveal itself.

@herrerasenjo We're working on getting everyone access!

@richardhwrites I haven't had the time to listen to these episodes. So cool to see new interesting projects by NovaraMedia! Would love to see the entirety of the map!

@richardhwrites Better and higher resolution image please.

@Graete97 @bentarnoff @AntonJaegermm just you wait

@richardhwrites @bentarnoff @AntonJaegermm you will never get to these levels of schizo
