@duncanbell.bsky.socialThis was fascinating. Much to think about after listening to it.
Show PostGreat episode as usual. The scary thing for me is that these ideas or goals are inevitable because the uber wealthy are such big believers and direct their money into making it happen. They are deciding our future whether we like it or not.
Show PostIt was a really fabulous discussion. Thanks @ppfideas.bsky.social @duncanbell.bsky.social. If you'd like to regather to talk about H.G. Wells' changing relationship with Socialism sometime, this geeky & eccentric listener would be thrilled. 💚
Show PostI am spending a book token on FRANKENSTEIN REX, out today, by the great @adamroberts.bsky.social. It answers the question "What if Frankenstein's monster were king of the world?" and I'm predicting there's at least one month-ruining pun (that'll have you in stitches, etc) in there, because it's him.
