We have nothing to gain from creating a much more violent, trustless, anti-human world like the Libertarians envisioned.

And yet, I had the audacity to say that they were going to save the world. Hello and welcome to Tech Won't Save Us.

I'm your host, Paris Marks.

And before we get to the show, just a final reminder about the membership drive that I'm

doing this month for the podcast, second birthday.

We've already hit the goal of 100 new or upgraded supporters

at $5 a month or above so I can bring on a producer to help me make the show and take some of

the burden off of my shoulders so I can focus more on the research and the interviews rather than

the editing and the end of production side of things. And we are almost at the stretch goal of

150 supporters at $5 a month or above.

We are currently at $1.40. So 10 more people in the next couple of days and we'll hit that goal.

So then I can do occasional bonus series that go beyond the regular weekly episode that maybe

cover some more niche topics that don't fit in so well

to the usual weekly interview that I do. And so I don't want to drag this out. I am very appreciative

of everybody who has supported the show or upgraded their pledge this month. And everyone who

supports the show in general, even everyone who listens to the show

and shares it, I just thank you so much for paying attention to the work that I do to listening

to these interviews with the fantastic tech critics that I'm able to talk to every single week.

It's just fantastic. So if you like the show and you're able to do so, I would just ask you to

consider becoming a supporter at $5

a month or upgrading your pledge this month to get those 10 more people to hit that stretch

goal before the end of April. And you can do that by going to patreon.com slash tech won't save us,
