Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Klaas Wierenga

presented by Klaas Wierenga

As some­one who has been involved for twen­ty years in trust and iden­ti­ty and secu­ri­ty, I still was shocked after the Snowden Revelations.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: José Soriano

presented by José Soriano

My fears today are the com­pa­nies, the twenty-six per­sons who have the 48% of the cap­i­tal of the world. And as the Internet reflects the world, we have the same in the Internet.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Jean Armour Polly

presented by Jean Armour Polly

A lot of these things were pre­dict­ed, and we were told about them—we were warned about them. Things like loss of pri­va­cy and malev­o­lence on the Internet and mal­ware. We were warned, and a lot of us um, put on our rose-colored glass­es and said oh well, let’s go chas­ing water­falls anyway.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Elise Gerich

presented by Elise Gerich

I real­ly hope that the Internet can con­tin­ue to have con­nec­tiv­i­ty with­out bifur­ca­tion. That we don’t have lit­tle Internets everywhere.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Douglas Comer

presented by Douglas Comer

It’s always true that it’s eas­i­er to break things than to make them secure. So, as long as we have just an arms race, the bad guys will keep winning. 

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Adiel Akplogan

presented by Adiel Akplogan

My hope is that the Internet con­tin­ues to devel­op based on its under­ly­ing cul­ture, which is an open tech­nol­o­gy that is acces­si­ble to everyone.

The Breakdown: Jonathan Zittrain Reflects on 2019–2020 Assembly Program, Disinformation

presented by Jonathan Zittrain, Oumou Ly

What would it mean to have peo­ple who weren’t just aca­d­e­mics in an envi­ron­ment true to the high­est ideals of acad­e­mia? Of solv­ing prob­lems, of exam­in­ing ques­tions and our own assump­tions about answers to those questions? 

Amniotechnics

presented by Sophie Lewis

Full Surrogacy Now means two dialec­ti­cal­ly opposed things. It is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly a utopi­an cry for the queer ges­ta­tion­al com­mune, and a descrip­tion of what’s going on right now, which is very much not that. The dystopi­an struc­ture of plan­e­tary real­i­ty in the present. Indentured ser­vice, sub­al­ter­ni­ty, crowd­fund­ing, out­sourc­ing, neo­feu­dal­ism, civ­il strifes, invis­i­b­lized sub-sub-contracting, and above all—to use the phrase of Shellee Colen—reproductive stratification. 

A Globally Just Green New Deal

presented by Thea Riofrancos

In a world of globally-dispersed sup­ply chains, an ener­gy tran­si­tion in the United States has impli­ca­tions for the extrac­tion, pro­duc­tion, and dis­tri­b­u­tion of resources and tech­nol­o­gy in places well beyond US borders.

Planning the Green New Deal
Climate Justice and the Politics of Sites and Scales

presented by Kian Goh, Timmons Roberts

The urgency of cli­mate change and the rise of a grass­roots leg­isla­tive polit­i­cal envi­ron­men­tal move­ment in the United States should change the way urban plan­ners think and act on spa­tial change and social justice.

Kill Switch episode 5: Human Rights and Internet Access
presented by Felicia Anthonio, Fisseha Tekle, Tom Gardner, Yvonne Ng

The Internet shutdown is not about you. It's not targeted at you. The Internet shutdown is really about the protesters. Amid the cloud of tear gas in the streets, retreating from a volley of stinging rubber bullets, are the real targets of the shutdown. Now that their mobile phones aren't connected, they can't regroup, organize, and reassess their rights. And they can't document or report on how the security forces are switching from rubber bullets to live ammunition. They can't tell the world that they are about to be slaughtered. And they can't ask for help. Read more →

The Conversation #14 — John Zerzan
presented by Aengus Anderson, John Zerzan, Micah Saul

I always wonder about people that are very pro-tech on the Left, for example. "Oh, we've got to keep all this. Of course. That'd be crazy." You know, you want to preserve all of the level of technology. The question that occurs to me is, oh so you want to keep how many hundreds of millions of people in the mines, in the smelters, in the foundries, in the assembly lines? I would like to see them be able to do something else. But you're going to have to keep them there one way or another if you want to have all this stuff. Read more →

Religion and World Politics part 16
presented by Stephen Chan

At the time when he lived in 500 BC, [Confucius] was the epitome of good governance. He was the epitome of progressive ways towards a peaceful and just order. And he pioneered many things that we would regard today still as extremely important. Read more →

De Balie x IDFA Doc Talks: You Think The Earth Is a Dead Thing
presented by Francio Guadeloupe

When you look at this film you will recognize that it's part of a tradition that says we have to think the planet, and we have to stop thinking the Earth. Thinking the Earth is actually thinking the world in terms of distinct civilizations, in terms of continents, in terms of ownership. Who owns culture, who owns land, and how they exploit land and culture and so forth. Read more →

Building Your Own Personal Truth
presented by Euan Semple

I think we are groping towards this idea of truth. And even the word truth can be defined in multiple different ways. So we are by its very nature dealing with a very slippery topic. Read more →
