Description
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 about it? Team Human is a weekly podcast about technology, power, consciousness, and what it means to stay human in a world that increasingly doesn't seem designed for us. No corporate backing. No network. No algorithm deciding what gets said. Just honest, rigorous conversation with people working at the edges of the most important questions of our time.

From earning an MFA at Yale to working as a mail carrier and training as an auto mechanic, (Robinson) reflects on class, race, ambition, institutional definitions of success, and learning to see work itself as creative practice. Along the way, she connects automotive systems to tarot, ritual, energy, and “deep magic,” while considering how artists can loosen their grip on recognition, take care of themselves, and transform the ordinary materials of life into something meaningful. 🌍 Support the show to receive ad-free access to videos, livestream Q&As with Rushkoff: http://patreon.com/teamhuman👉🏻 Follow Douglas Rushkoff:http://instagram.com/douglasrushkoffhttp://tiktok.com/douglasrushkoffhttp://bsky.app/profile/rushkoff.comOur Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What if anarchism isn’t chaos, but a way of putting human beings back in charge of their own lives? Douglas Rushkoff is joined by former British diplomat Carne Ross, for a conversation about power, democracy, mutual aid, and what it actually takes to change the systems governing our lives.Ross argues that the means are the ends: we don’t have to wait for a revolution, a new president, or some imagined future society to begin living differently. Instead, meet your neighbors. Share tools. Organize around the needs of your community. Create spaces where everyone affected by a decision has a voice. Rebuild the social relationships that an atomized society has allowed to disappear.👉🏻 Follow Douglas Rushkoff:https:/www.instagram.com/douglasrushkoffhttps://www.tiktok.com/douglasrushkoff https://bsky.app/profile/rushkoff.comOur Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
