The fully automated luxury luddites discuss how consumption of music changed with psychedelic experience and meditation; the usefulness of protest; tinnitus; the petrodollar; collapse of the dollar; dropped connections; plunder and how it changes hands; is the change of hegemon going to be better?; will green technology lose its lustre with the new world order; Alice Friedman's Life After Fossil Fuels; one resource to rule them all; technical problems; Scott Horton is part of https://antiwar.com/, a very worthwhile endeavour; streamlining of technology as a problem; politics as a redundant game; what is the general inter-personal atmosphere about Ukraine; globalisation is done; covid ongoing damage and Mark Crispin Miller; the pointlessness of politicians.

After we stopped recording Roger mentioned that much of the reason people may watch the MSM or any of these other things is to feel like they are part of society and it allows people to have something to talk about. I feel like this is spot-on and we shall endeavour to talk about this in the next podcast.  

On reflection my playing at the start was a bit ropey, might have a redux of this at some point.
