Friends! Today I'm launching the Realtime Techpocalypse Newsletter. It's motto is: "Stop doomscrolling and just read this!" I'll provide a weekly mix of (a) news that isn't covered elsewhere and (b) commentary drawing from my unique background in eschatology. We'll cover a wide range of topics including AI, Big Tech, the TESCREAL ideologies, climate change, biodiversity loss, fascism, the genocide in Gaza, etc. If it’s dystopian, then you can read about it here!!
Put differently: some people have suggested that we might be the first species to document its own extinction. The aim of this newsletter is to provide that documentation as it happens: to catalogue, systematize, archive, and examine the various ways in which the Silicon Valley elites and Trumpian fascists in DC are catapulting us over the precipice of oblivion.
I'm very excited about this new project, so please join me for the (mis)adventure! Wishing everyone the very best and see you on the other side!!
Phil! So glad to see a/nother regular space for your writing! You are someone I often mention as demarcating well the space of where certain lines of influence are going in tech+ spaces, to project members, interns, colleagues, and those I'm advising alike -- at least those who actually want to hear Real Talk, aha! Thank you for what you are doing and continuously staring into the abyss and otherwise murky aspects of our trajectories ahead.
I recommend looking into Deep Ecology as an antidote to all the tech futurism brainwash stuff. My favorite author, Joanna Macy, recently passed away, but her disciples continue her work.

I’m excited for this newsletter! I’ve enjoyed listening to you and Kate on Dystopia Now and I’m looking forward to more insights from you.
