This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey, everybody. Robert Evans here, and I wanted to let you know this is a compilation episode.

So every episode of the week that just happened is here in one convenient and with somewhat less ads package for you to listen to in a long stretch

if you want. If you've been listening to the episodes every day this week, there's

going to be nothing new here for you, but you can make your own decisions.

Hello and welcome to it could happen here, and it could. My name is Andrew Sage. I'm also Andrewsum on YouTube and I'm here

once again with James. James Stout. People have said I'd never say my last name and they can't

work out who I am. So I guess I'll do that more. Welcome James Stout. Thank you. So with Lee and I mean, this is an unfortunately common pattern of thought for me, but I've

been thinking about just how totalizing the system feels.

And it's like everywhere you turn, you know, walking down the street, look at the city,

pollution, every inch of land has been claimed by the system.

Every bit of, you know, the way to live and operate just feels like it's been manipulated

and controlled in some way.

And so that's really what I want to highlight in today's episode, the infrastructure of the system and how it's used to

control, you know, both in terms of the physical infrastructure and the digital infrastructure

of our lives.

So I suppose to start off, I'd ask, when was the last time that you noticed infrastructure shaping your choices?

That's interesting.

I mean, a lot in a certain ways, right?

Like, the infrastructure of labour shapes a lot of my choices.

Like, I have to work a lot to make ends meet, right?

Like, which means I can't do sometimes things I want to do.
