152: Long Inferential Distances




C-Realm Podcast show

Summary: KMO welcomes Eric Boyd of X-Prize Cars back to the program to patrol the borders of conceptual space and test the vigilence of the border holders whose extreme ideologies provide comfort to the mainstream. Familiar landmarks include "the tragic comedy of suburban sprawl" and the superlative visions of Singularitarians. Eric also waxes enthusiastic on the Hacker Space phenomenon by which Alpha Geeks "find the others" in meatspace and wrest control of technology from the self-serving agenda of global corporate capitalism.
