Survival of the Richest | Douglas Rushkoff

"I thought I was a joke or a test!" Douglas Rushkoff (https://rushkoff.com/about/) was led into a room at a desert resort where five mysterious billionaires awaited him. They peppered the media theorist and author with binary questions: Bitcoin or Ethereum? Virtual reality or augmented reality? Alaska or New Zealand? This experience sets the stage for Douglas's newest book, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires (https://wwnorton.com/books/survival-o...) , which focuses on "The Mindset, a Silicon Valley-style certainty that they and their cohort can break the laws of physics, economics, and morality to escape a disaster of their own making—as long as they have enough money and the right technology."* (https://wwnorton.com/books/survival-o...) Today's episode explores the derivative and meta focus of today's financial and technology industry, so much so that the New York Stock Exchange has been purchased by a derivates exchange and Facebook has changed its holding company's name to Meta. Additional Topics Include: •  Why Alphabet will survive and Meta will fail (05:18) • Will new technologies replace human labor or just camouflage it? (12:02) • The 2000 merger of AOL and Time Warner (18:14) • Is a scorched earth mentality necessary? (20:32) • Why do billionaires donate so inefficiently (27:07) (Editor’s note: Topic times don’t account for sponsor ads and may appear a few minutes later in the episode on your podcast player) ------------ Visit Notepd.com (https://notepd.com/) to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!
