| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. Welcome to Gaslit Nation. I am your host, Andrea Chalupa, a journalist and filmmaker, and the writer and producer of the journalistic thriller, Mr. Jones, the film about Stalin's |
| 0:23.9 | genocide, famine, and Ukraine, which the Kremlin does not want you to see. They shut down a screening |
| 0:29.9 | in Moscow and then liquidated the organization, the renowned human rights organization Memorial |
| 0:36.3 | that dared to show it. |
| 0:39.3 | So make sure to watch that film. |
| 0:40.4 | All right, everyone. |
| 0:52.2 | So we are going to share a special interview I did with the great Douglas Rushkoff for his podcast, Team Human, at the end of September, 2023. |
| 0:55.5 | I'm sharing this all with you. So to make sure you caught this conversation, it's still obviously relevant to the hellfire we're facing together today. |
| 1:02.2 | Douglas Rushkoff is an amazing thinker. I love him dearly. He is the author of several books, |
| 1:07.3 | including Team Human, Survival of the Richest, Life, Inc. Media Virus and so many other |
| 1:14.2 | books. He's a documentarian. He's a graphic novelist. He came up in the early cyberpunk culture |

| 1:30.0 | too because he really confronts the billionaire class that thinks they're going to just burn it all |
| 1:34.9 | down and then hide from us in their bunkers. That logic is so deeply flawed. And if you want more on |
| 1:40.1 | that, go back to the conversations Doug and I had here on Gaslit Nation last summer as part of |
| 1:46.0 | our future dictatorship tech series that we did over the summer featuring him and so many |
| 1:49.6 | other great thinkers. So if you love what you hear, go subscribe to Douglas Rushkoff's podcast, |
| 1:56.4 | Team Human, support his work on his substack, Rushkoff. I'll link to those on the show notes for this |
| 2:02.5 | episode. We'll be back with an all-new Gaslit Nation next week. And don't forget to join us for the |
| 2:09.1 | live taping of Gaslit Nation on February 12 at 12 p.m. Eastern featuring the former prosecutor |
