Join Julia McCoy and Dave Shapiro in Episode 12 of Leaders of AI as they sit down with radical futurist and anthropologist Sam Rad, author of Radical Next. Dive into a mind-bending conversation about AI’s existential impact on humanity, societal collapse, and the rebirth of systems.
💥Key topics discussed:
- Societal paradigm shifts: Death and rebirth cycles of global systems (economy, governance, identity).
- AI’s existential questions: “What does it mean to be human in a post-reality world?”
- Perception manipulation: How tech (VR, algorithms, urban design) warps reality today.
- Decentralized futures: Blockchains, DAOs, and the collapse of nation-states.
- Art vs. AI: Why creativity is humanity’s last stand against bland AI-generated content.
- Quantum computing: The coming “post-quantum” chaos and cognitive security threats.
- Team Human: Balancing techno-optimism with radical reconnection to humanity.
Order Sam’s groundbreaking book Radical Next and learn why the stakes have never been higher.
