Rather than try to hit you with hot takes and quick analysis on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we take a step back and round up of the most craven people in crypto who saw this crisis as a problem in need of web3 solutions. Brace yourself for the most harebrained schemes and opportunistic scams. The great thing about the blockchain is that it promotes peace and profits at the same time.

Lying Like A State (03/02/22)

Poliittinen talous -podcastissa keskustellaan Venäjän sotaretkestä Ukrainassa, kun vieraana on Helsingin yliopiston Aleksanteri-instituutin johtaja Markku Kangaspuro. Kangaspuro analysoi niin Vladimir Putinin ajattelua kuin Venäjän hyökkäyksen laajempia geopoliittisia taustojakin. Millainen voisi olla Euroopan turvallisuusarkkitehtuuri, joka ei nojaisi sotilaallisen uhan jatkuvaan kasaamiseen? Voiko Venäjän aggressioita yrittää ymmärtää Venäjän talouden rakenteen kautta, ja miten Venäjää rankasti koetellut, Neuvostoliiton romahduksen jälkeinen talouspolitiikan shokkiterapia on vaikuttanut Venäjän kehitykseen ja Putinin asemaan maan johdossa?

Jakso 45: Venäjän sotaretken taustat (feat. Markku Kangaspuro)

Death Panel Episode 328 How It Doesn't End (03/17/22)

How It Doesn't End (03/17/22)

We’re joined by one of the best critical observers of Web3 around – Molly White, creator of Web3 is Going Just Great – to discuss what made her, as a software engineer who is immersed in the tech sector and discourse, finally have to take a stand on Web3. We then break down how Web3 fetishizes its own apparent complexity-as-convolution, the pitfalls in how it is covered by reporters, the cynicism of its biggest advocates, and the internal ideological contradictions at the heart of Web3.

150. The Cynics of Web3 (ft. Molly White)

We discuss the abrupt end of the transportation mask mandate, what people really mean when they assert that "We Have the Tools," and Benjamin Mazer's awful new Atlantic piece, "It’s Just Scaring People, and It’s Not Saving Lives."

Death Panel Episode 337 "We Have the Tools" (04/20/22)

"We Have the Tools" (04/20/22)

We review China’s hard, fast, and big regulatory responses to big tech’s rising power over the last year, discuss the vastly different political theories motivating tech policy in the US, Europe, and China, and look ahead for what’s to come as China unveils a new set of sweeping, world leading regulations for AI decision-making.

159. Big Tech Trouble in China

We discuss the one thing everyone can seemingly agree on: the US is in a new wave, and no one knows quite how big it really is. Then we revisit the CDC's "community level" metrics, and discuss new reports that the White House is preparing to have to ration vaccines.

Death Panel Episode 344 An Invisible Wave (05/19/22)

An Invisible Wave (05/19/22)

We live in a time of short-term imperatives and long-term consequences for our actions, with just a few years left to avert climate catastrophe, but a planet transformed for millennia if we fail.

Author Roman Krznaric’s work reflects on these vast timescales and on our place within them. How can we navigate the tension between the need for immediate action and the long view of all human life? How can we, borrowing a phrase from Horace, ‘seize the day’ – not just as individuals, but collectively? What does it mean to be a good ancestor to all those who come after?

In a conversation spanning the political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, the poetry of Cicero and the Japanese ‘Future Design Movement’, Aaron Bastani talks to Roman about the conclusions of his book The Good Ancestor.
