Nicki Minaj - Plain Jane (Dj Everything® BEST REMIX EVER)

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?

Neoganthropy

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.

Seasone 2 Episode 3: Business Doggies and Nate

Saksalaisen juristin ja politiikan teoreetikon Carl Schmittin (1888-1985) ajatukset väreilevät myös 2000-luvun poliittisessa todellisuudessa - kiitos muun muassa terrorisminvastaisen sodan, populismin nousun ja koronapandemian. Schmitt tarkkaili kriittisesti ensimmäisen maailmansodan jälkeistä, poliittisesti turbulenttia Weimarin tasavaltaa, johon moni vertaa erilaisten kriisien ja jopa fasismin pelon leimaamaa nykyhetkeä.

Poliittinen talous -podcastin tämänkertaisessa jaksossa pureudutaan Carl Schmittin poliittiseen ajatteluun. Vieraana on valtiotieteiden tohtori Tuukka Brunila, joka on vastikään väitellyt talouden ja politiikan suhteesta Schmittin ajattelussa.

Brunila keskustelee Timo Harjuniemen kanssa muun muassa Schmittin politiikkakäsityksestä, jossa korostuivat erottelu ystävään ja viholliseen sekä valtiojohdon kyky suvereeniin päätöksentekoon. Schmitt suhtautui kriittisesti paitsi sosialismiin myös liberalismiin, mutta toisaalta schmittiläisessä tavassa tarkastella politiikan ja talouden suhteita on myös liberaaleja piirteitä. Schmitt onkin sekä politiikan että depolitisaation teoreetikko. Lisäksi Brunila pohtii, mitä schmittiläistä Amerikan terrorisminvastaisissa sodissa ja koronakriisin hallinnassa oli. Vasemmistokin on ammentanut Schmittiltä liberalismia kritisoidessaan, mutta onko vasemmisto lopulta lukenut Schmittinsä väärin?
