226 – Political Charts
For centuries political chartographers have pondered the question – What is the true shape of politics?
A line from left to right? Or maybe a square with four quadrants? Or is it, perhaps, something far more strange than any of us can imagine?

221 – Self-Immolation (w/ Brent Cooper)
On May 29, 2019, Arnav Gupta burned himself alive on the White House lawn, wearing a USA t-shirt. Very few people noticed, and even fewer tried to listen to what Arnav might have been telling us.
Activist and writer Brent Cooper joins the Wrong Boys for a wide-ranging discussion on this event, self-immolation broadly, and a metamodernist approach to critiquing society and building a better world.

220 – Stop Techno Dystopia! (w/ Cory Doctorow)
Our rapid technological progress comes with many wonderful–and many horrifying–potentials. Politicians and businessmen seem determined to steer our society towards the horrifying.
Author and Journalist Cory Doctorow joins the Wrong Boys to help us understand the encroaching tech dystopia, and what we need to focus on to steer back towards the wonderful, liberatory potential of tech.

It explores topics such as Hegel's dialectics and Marx's dialectics, the concept of dominance disputes in nature, the connection between capitalism and the climate crisis, and the urgent need to address the ecological crisis. The episode also touches on the dystopian future created by organizations providing escape from climate change effects, and the desire for socially just ecological societies.
