The People Who Run The Country

Kevin Galalae interviewed by Tony Pasik from Spirit Quest

13. What Is The Global Depopulation Policy, Interview With Kevin Galalae

Legendary science historian James Burke returns to explain his newest project, a Connections app that will allow anyone to "think connectively" about the webs of knowledge available on Wikipedia.

Burke predicted back in 1978 that we’d one day need better tools than just search alone if we were to avoid the pitfalls of siloed information and confirmation bias, and this month he launched a Kickstarter campaign to help create just such a tool - an app that searches connectivity and produces something Google and social media often don’t - surprises, anomalies, unexpected results, and connections, in the same style as his documentary series, books, and other projects. 

In the interview, Burke shares his latest insights on change, technology, the future, social media, models of reality, and more.

089 - Connections - James Burke

A musical message to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Sussex, Adam Tickell. There is still time to rediscover your critical geographical roots! Join us. we'll be on the picket line! 

Lyrics

Dear Mr Tickell,
You know the wealth doesn’t trickle,
It pours into the hands of a few,
And at 300 K a year, I think one of them is you
 
Professor I preferred your earlier publications,
Your critiques of neoliberal exploitation,
The silent violence of individual pension schemes,
Are you now you’re just another cog in the privatisation machine?
 

Activism and the academy
Students and staff in solidarity!
Activism and the academy
Save our pensions, fight precarity
 
Mr Tickell, I see another rise in your earnings,
While I’m drowning in technologically enhanced learning,
My workload model just burst at the seams,
Extraction of surplus value pushed into the extreme
 
Activism and the academy
Students and staff in solidarity!
Activism and the academy
Save our pensions, fight precarity
 
Activism and the academy
Students and staff in solidarity!
Activism and the academy
Save our pensions, fight precarity

Mr Tickell, it seems that you’ve abruptly ceased,
Discussing 'jungle law' and 'neoliberal beasts',
And the destruction of collegiality,
Professor Tickell, do you still believe in the public university?

Activism and the academy
Students and staff in solidarity!
Activism and the academy
Save our pensions, fight precarity

end.

A Sussex UCU member, March, 2018.

Activism and the Academy

A song for #UCUStrikesBack by a certain Sussex UCU member about Round Two of UCU Strikes.

We Are the University

Lyrics:

We are the University



I was sitting at my desk, feeling kind of lonely,
Overworked, getting stressed the pressure pilling on me,
Working hours 8 to 10,
Say goodbye to your weekends,
It’s the neoliberal university

Then we went down to the picket line, and it was kind of rainy,
But there was a big fire truck, and inspiration from Jo Grady!
Then me marched and danced around,
“slay the neoliberal beast” said the crowd,
And woah, I felt kind of free!

[Chorus:]

'Cos when we go, we go together,
On the picket line, in any weather,
'Cos we won’t take it anymore, now we can see,
We are the university!

 The VC’s on a power trip, he’s firing up his gas light,
Saying “There Is No Alternative” and “You won’t get the numbers for this strike”,
But 40,000 did walk out, and they’re ready for another bout,
Defending the University!

[Chorus X 2]

We are at breaking point, student debt keeps on risin’,
Pay cuts and precarity, always loomin’ on the horizon,
For outsourced work, no living wage,
A decent pension would be nice in our old age,
Let’s change this University!

[Chorus X 2]

We’re tired of coloniality, we’re tired of gender pay gaps,
We’re tired of the VC’s management speak, and emails that make us feel crap,
But we’re our here come rain or shine,
Are you going to listen this time?
To the University!

[Chorus X 2]

[End.]

Stormy Monday Live Mix

In this first in a series of discussions on economics, Mike and David start with some first principles questions such as

What is money?

What is debt?

Why do we have boom and bust cycles?

As they work towards an understanding of contemporary economic policy and the recent government announcement that we will "build, build, build" our way out of the COVID depression.

Deconstructing the Magic Money Tree - Episode 1

Originally Broadcast on November 6 2020 on Rokfin.com - Whitney is joined by independent journalist Cory Morningstar to discuss the 4th industrial revolution, which aims to merge the natural and digital worlds via technology and is backed by the world's most predatory billionaires and corporations. The efforts to market this "revolution" as "sustainable" and "empowering," while its policies will clearly have the opposite effect, are detailed at length.
