What defines each era? Historians often lean on terms that point to technology: bronze, steam, carbon, silicon. So is technology a fundamental aspect of being human? On this wide-ranging Trip, the gang take on one of their biggest topics yet.

Starting from the basis that technology is an application of knowledge for a practical purpose, Jeremy Gilbert, Nadia Idle and Keir Milburn propose the washing machine as the most important invention of the 20th century, theorize a fully automated luxury Keynesianism, and consider what motivates the left's apparent technophobia.

They also discuss techno-adjacent political formations, from Luddites to Accelerationists to cyborg feminists, and return to a classic ACFM conversation about technologies of the self.

Expect techno music, obviously, plus songs from Kraftwerk, Phuture and Laurie Anderson. An ever-expanding playlist of all the music discussed on the show can be found on Spotify.

ACFM Trip 24: Technology

The golden age of vinyl records is long past in Africa, but the market for rare and reissued African vinyl outside the continent has been growing steadily since the early 2000s. DJs and collectors have turned an obsession with rare records and forgotten gems from Cape Town to Tangiers into an international reissue and compilation industry, led by record labels such as Soundway, Strut and Analog Africa. This program explores some of the complex and shifting dynamics of neocolonialism, cultural ownership and audience in the African vinyl market. We’ll hear stories from label owners, DJs and artists, touching on controversies around Nigerian disco funk reissues, new career opportunities for sometimes-obscure African artists, the unique vinyl culture in South Africa, and much more. Produced by Morgan Greenstreet and Alejandro Van Zandt-Escobar, with Nenim Iwebuke.

Reissued - African Vinyl In The 21st Century

This beat joint is to bring awareness to empaths who have suffered, due to being taken for granted for so long with results that lead to mental illness and anxiety. Being an empath is a gift and a horrible curse when gone unnoticed, it doesn't cost a penny to understand a person or they're actions, I truly hope that people would one day give your true friends and family a visit or call to really see whats going on inside of them, not to always ask for something or brag about personal gain, but to show that you truly love them and that you care, so turn down for a moment, relax and I hope you can understand what this joint stands for,  1Luv DKMG

Three Euclidean Rhythms [disquiet0567]

Joseph Green discusses parapolitics, deep politics, and conspiracy theory. He correctly observes that “if you don’t understand that the state killed JFK, and MLK, and RFK, and Malcolm X, and a whole lot of others besides, you’re never really going to fundamentally understand how the world works.” He explains how to be a conspiracy theorist and how not to be a conspiracy theorist! Conspiracy theory is simply political analysis that the State doesn’t like. If you're looking at things from the left-right paradigm, you're not going to get good analysis that way. It's more like we're dealing with competing mobsters.

Etienne de la Boetie²: We Are Ruled By Inter-Generational Organized Crime #354

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, as yet another banking institution is in trouble, we reassess the dangers of further troubles  spreading across the nation and ascertain the dilemma facing both the giant banks as well as the humble households of America.
In our first half hour, Geo political analyst Peter Koenig speaks of his vision of these bank failures actually being coordinated to help move forward plans to digitize all currency well before the end of the decade. Then in our second half hour, we will hear from Economic thinker and journalist Dr Jack Rasmus about the fundamentals of what happened to Silvergate Capital and Silicon Valley Bank last month, and what may be in store for more banks as the qualifiers continue to go unaddressed.
