Episode on the history of non/anti-cybernetics (Game/Automata/Double Bind Theory) developed in the UK, US, USSR, and China and what that means for us today: cognitive autonomy, surveillance, breaking out of the cyberculture, etc. Throught the 20th century complexity studies were conducted globally by social psychologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians in capitalist and socialist countries alike, and despite them all adopting the same trendy word at one point or another: "Cybernetics", that wasn't exactly what they were all just doing. And they certainly weren't aiming for the same outcome of streamlined logistical matrices--and depending on the cultural, social, and national context, sometimes aimed for the opposite!

Part one of a series on Cybernetics of the Future aka "how smart people end up dumb". Instead of retreading well-told examples of the 20th century we go to Leibniz, Yuk Hui, U/ACC, Muller, Ampere, etc. to figure out its ambience and omnipresence in culture, politics, the human (?) spirit, and more. Not another Reddit Rundown of Project Cybersyn: this episode looks at a comprehensive view of the Feedback Loop and its place in general history (I Ching to creator burnout to shock jock pseudo-vitalism) starting with: Brunella Antomarini's excellent essay Translating Rationalism: Leibniz and Cybernetics, Tek Lintowe's amazing rant on Being Raw, Cliodynamics, Leibniz debunking both Newtonian Mechanism and Spinozist Nominalism, China's One Child Policy, didactic fashion shows, a history of mechanism
The internet is tedious, impersonal, rarely goes anywhere. Cyber-ethnographer/professor Ruby Justice Thelot comes on to talk about Checkpoints--a new book which charts the 10 + year history of an extended forum beneath a Youtube video loop of the Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack full of personal stories of tragedy, triumph, and major life events that one day vanished without a trace. A history of digital and physical libraries, the shock of deletion, the age of recuperation, file corruption, non-online human digital media, and more.

The project turned four for so bod [包家巷] proposed we do a rundown of every single episode of from 1 until 170 and "react" to each one - the good, the bad, the ugly - every single phase from this nebulous, undefined sociology project. Afterthoughts on what worked and what didn't work, who to trust, where things are headed, and more. From cult leaders to Soundcloud rappers to transhumanists and 21st c. philosophers-after 4 long years I have finally found out what this show is about.
