Serendipity brings Douglas Rushkoff, author of Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus and Aleister & Adolf, and host of Team Human podcast, to J’s basement for a conversation on the digital age and the economic effects of information technology on human well-being. They discuss Rushkoff’s writing trajectory, chronicling the evolution of the internet from its early open source origins to its corporate controlled iteration of today. They talk about the current state of affairs and, much to J’s amazement, some shared past and friendship between them.

0:00.0	All right. Hello, anybody who happens to be listening.
0:17.2	My name is Jay Brown. This is Yoga Talks podcast. I want to welcome you. I want to thank you.
0:25.8	I appreciate you lending me your ear. This is a very big day for the podcast. I've been hyping it up for weeks. I know.
0:35.2	But Douglas Rushkoff is here today. And it's a big deal for me, not just because

1:24.8	I highly recommend them, especially those of you who send me emails
1:29.0	and are asking me for advice on how to go about doing your own thing. People are listening to

1:42.1	things and maybe start my own podcast and they're sending me emails
1:45.8	and i want to say that i think the best thing that you can do is read those three books i mean

2:05.0	And so he really has a viewpoint and some knowledge about the internet and the economy that
2:15.7	is very empowering.
2:18.3	Sometimes it's kind of scary, honestly,
