This Machine Kills - 353. Slaughterbots, Roll Out!

We refocus on the war in Ukraine and the country’s pivot toward being the “Silicon Valley for autonomous drones and other weaponry.” Thanks to a combination of foreign investment, entrepreneurial governance, DIY scrappiness, and a ‘by any means necessary’ attitude, the future of cheap, lethal, autonomous warfare is being forged and tested in Ukrainian war zones — before inevitably being deployed everywhere else in some form. ••• A.I.

It Could Happen Here - Don’t Panic

These are frightening times, but Robert explains why now is not the time to panic. The situation is not as dire or hopeless as many people want you to believe, and there's a lot of good evidence to back that up.

Philosophers In Space - Spiderhead (2022) and Emotional Regulation

If there's two words you'd associate with our show, I hope they would be spider and head. We're doing a 2/3rds excellent 1/3rd deeply flawed movie that hits a lot of our sweet spots but ultimately fails to get that final gold star. And we're talking about the nature of emotions and whether it would be better if we could control them, and also testing on criminals etc, everything you'd expect watching this opal in the rough.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - The Pentagon’s Anti-Vax Program, Part Two: The Conspiracy Goes Global

So why would the US government push so hard for people to get vaccinated domestically, then turn around and wage an anti-vaccination propaganda war on the Philippines? In the second part of this week's special two-part episode, Ben, Matt and Noel explore the bizarre motivation behind this insidious scheme: the idea that allowing China to supply vaccines could upset a delicate balance of geopolitical power. It wasn't that they planned to kill innocent people -- they just didn't care whether those people died.

Native America Calling - Friday, July 12, 2024 – Are the economic benefits of tourism worth it?

Tourism is big money for many tribes and individual entrepreneurs. But it also has the potential to diminish people’s quality of life. Residents in Juneau, Alaska are considering a limit on the dozens of cruise ships that unload thousands of visitors there every summer. Among other things, critics say the steady stream of outsiders detracts from what they enjoy about living there. Some tribes have closed off tourist attractions altogether. We’ll find out about “overtourism” and ways to avoid it.
