Your Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss the state of affairs with the finest rendition of German accents, this prompts a conversation about transhumanism; the awkwardness of conversing with people; entertainment not being entertaining; how entertainment once glued us together but now the entertainment is poor and our touchstone subjects are compromised; the observation problem; quantifying everything and everyone; doing nothing; tubular crisis; peak oil as a topic not to be mentioned; vish; footage of China*; the necessity of the other; CNN hypocrisy; smothering with kindness; kafkaesque kafka kafkering.

*it says something about the media landscape that we were led to be cynical about the truth of what happens around the world. One begins to wonder if the scepticism is always a healthy attitude to all events.
