SBF proves we live in post post post-modernism (clown world)

I'm sure most reading this probably have heard the news about the collapse of FTX and the ensuing crypto financial contagion it's caused. A lot of strange and bad analyses are being spread around crypto Twitter and elsewhere so Ben Basche (@basche42) and I try to describe a more reasonable account of the situation that doesn't flirt with fascism.

During the interview we review and contextualize the series of events, the strange literalness of everything, and what the next steps are. We also discuss Ben's article on the road ahead for crypto which you can find on his Mirror page.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.

The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
