Episode #206 ... Capitalism is dead. This is Technofeudalism. (Yanis Varoufakis)

Published 2024-07-21
Today we talk about the concept of Technofeudalism as described by Yanis Varoufakis. We talk about the comparisons of our world to the feudal system, the origins in the economic policy of 2008, and a few potential paths forward centered around important questions to be revisiting. Hope you enjoy it! :)

    thoughtful as usual I appreciate the video Some of the thoughts I had in this video are similar to our country as it was before World War II you know back then it was a lot easier to obtain something to own and live on like a house mainly I think because the economy was not as regulated One of the complaints from my generation is that our entire lives are spent renting from someone we don't have the opportunity to pass down traditions to children because anything we work for will eventually be sold to renters don't own or care about owning a future in the lane for their families We rent from the companies we work at we rent from the houses we live in we rent many things but we don't actually have anything to show for the lives we live I don't know if this is because the emergence of technology has sped up the ability for the powerful to conquer the week it sounds like that's what's going on and so the week become reliant upon the technology and the powerful need the technology but they use it to live a life of freedom something that those who depend on it do not have i'm trying to say is that they used to be more dignity in the land than there is today

    'People' might well exercise free will by way of much greater discriminate buying. The battle against want.
