How to Beat Cancel Culture with Eric Kaufmann

A self-loathing song about A.I., inspired by Pink Floyd, and how it would take over the heart and soul of a real artist's hard work.

[Intro]
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 1]
Machines learning our thoughts and our fears
We dance to the tune of invisible strings
Replacing our love with engineered tears
Forgetting the song that the true heart sings
She’s watchin' the screens, the gleam in her eyes
They say the truth is not what it seems
In a digital dream, humanity sighs
And she whispers what it all means

[Chorus]
Oh, come back, come back
Back to a time when we felt alive, yeah
In the echoes of a fading sun
We're losing the threads of what we've spun
With every byte, we feed the beast
A sterile world, where passions cease

[Verse 2]
The painter's brush lies stiff and still
While pixels mock the artist's will
Guitars cry out from dusty shelves
Fingers touch the chords of past
Memories of songs, like love itself
Underneath the sky so vast

[Chorus]
Oh, come back, come back
Back to a time when we felt alive, yeah
In the echoes of a fading sun
We're losing the threads of what we've spun
With every byte, we feed the beast
A sterile world, where passions cease

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Through neon streets, we walk alone
Futures bought, but nothing's owned
An empire of glass reflects our moans
As we build our thrones from cold, hard stone

[Chorus]
Oh, come back, come back
Back to a time when we felt alive, yeah
The sirens wail, the cities burn,
As we ignore the lessons we should learn.
The end draws near, yet we pretend,
That our folly won't lead to our own end.

[Outro]
In the wreckage of our shattered dreams,
The echoes of fear and hate still gleam.
But perhaps, in the ruins we'll find,
A spark of hope for humankind.

[Intermission]

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]

sorry for no upload i lost all motivation for everything

dont fight it 
this was my doom
you said the drugs killed me
but theres blood all over you

leeching off my parents for way too long
ill hold you in my arms if you really think im strong
but loving isnt easy and i know it wont get better
im locked up in my room, ill probably be here forever

this guilt that follows me everywhere i go 
id do anything, everything i know 
to make you proud
how ill make you proud

im starting to feel like theres no way out
let go of me jesus and let me drown
in my own sea of self emulation
a slayer or a freak in the right situation

dont fight it 
this was my doom
you said the drugs killed me
but theres blood all over you

doomed

How do we educate students for jobs that do not exist yet? Education is preparation for life, and one’s work is a major component of life. Yet the data indicate that the workplace is transforming dramatically. The number of people working in mature and large corporations has declined. The companies that now top the Fortune 500 list are relative newcomers, as most were entrepreneurial start-ups in this generation. Advancements in robotics indicate that jobs requiring repetitive manual labor will become fewer, and advancements in artificial intelligence indicate that jobs requiring low-level intellectual labor will also become fewer. Thus, more people will be working in entrepreneurial firms, and their work will be more higher-level cognitive and creative. At the same time, we educators cannot predict what entrepreneurial firms will come into existence in this generation or what domains of creative and higher-level cognitive effort they will require. So we educators face the challenge of preparing this generation of young people for more demanding kinds of work, to work in more entrepreneurial firms, or even for becoming entrepreneurs themselves. That poses a philosophical and strategic challenge for education: How should we do that?

EP56 | Ai Entrepreneurial Education Now

A song about not voting, speaking out and doing something when you could.  Our current world is seeing a surge of extremists trying to take power and destroy democracy.  Regret, worry, and fear make up the core of the song's emotions.

Qu'est-ce que le postmodernisme?

Le postmodernisme est-il une idéologie, une théorie, une époque, un zeigeist, un changement de paradigme, voire même une fin?

What is postmodernism?

Is postmodernism an ideology, a theory, an era, a zeitgeist, a paradigm shift, or even an end?

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 152

On December 3, 2024, James Lindsay revealed to the world that he had perpetrated a hoax (https://newdiscourses.com/2024/12/a-communist-manifesto-for-christian-nationalists-testing-the-woke-right/) against the nominally "Christian Nationalist" magazine American Reformer in which he had rewritten a significant portion of the Communist Manifesto to flatter their "Woke Right" ideology. In the ensuing days, the hoax has caused quite a stir on the conservative side of the internet, generating a completely unexpected response in which, in addition to deflecting from the hoax and bashing James, many ostensible conservatives launched into robust defenses of Marxist analysis, critical theory, and postmodernism. How good was the hoax, though, and what did it actually say? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through a rough side-by-side comparison text (https://newdiscourses.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/CM-for-CN-Appendix-Docs.pdf) he prepared showing how close the hoax actually was so you can hear and decide for yourself. Join him and see if you agree that the hoax was good.

Modernism Versus Postmodernism_ Foundations of Management Thought

SEVENTEEN [17]

A raw, whisper-soft anthem for anyone who ever felt too much, too soon.
Written from inside the quiet violence of growing up.

Inspired by the emotional pulse of the fictional TV series Seventeen, this track captures the weight of being young in a world that doesn’t listen – until you sing.

💔 For the ones who survived the night with no one watching.

[Verse 1]
I'm only seventeen,
but I’ve lived too many nights.
They touch me like I’m nothing,
like I don’t even breathe.

[Verse 2]
I took a punch in the belly,
but I didn’t cry – no, I didn’t cry.
I stared into my mirror,
but I couldn’t even try.

[Verse 3]
They told me: “Speak with caution.”
So I sing inside my chest.
Every word's a revolution,
even whispered, even guessed.

Deleuze and Guattari - Year Zero: Faciality

What Brian Eno wrote about glitches and imperfections is a partial view: he seems to believe that there is human expression trying to break free from the confines of technology. But if we follow Fisher we can also see that the limits of a medium are turned into the ghost of nostalgia for form that reflects the absence of present. Nostalgia is an escape from horror. Nostalgia keeps the horror in the corner of the ear. Nostalgia is a slow poison.

The Slow Poison of Nostalgia

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
