Each supposed AI “problem” stems from a lack of imaginative capacity from us. We are refusing the opportunity to rethink more fundamental assumptions about the systems under threat.

Instead of acting like tech bros and reinforcing obsolete institutions in order to further entrench their extractive and inhumane monopolies, we can go deeper to discover what cracks are being revealed in this new media environment. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Has digital technology turned us all into fascists?

Rushkoff explores fascism as an environment in which we live, rather than the specific ideology of one "side." He shows how technology, psychedelics, and business are all "non-specific amplifiers," yielding different results depending on what we bring to them. He asks us to consider what would happen if we stopped seeing issues in terms of "sides," and why our current media and political environment makes that so difficult. How do we break the fascistic state of mind?

Dr. Mara Einstein, author of Hoodwinked: How Marketers Use the Same Tactics As Cults, helps us recognize the cult tactics being used to hoodwink us into submission and get us to act against our own self-interest. This conversation was recorded February 4, 2025.

About Dr. Mara Einstein

Dr. Mara Einstein has written books on branding religion (Brands of Faith), cause marketing (Compassion, Inc.), and deceptive marketing practices. This last book was Black Ops Advertising, which The New York Times called “well-researched and accomplished” and The Guardian agreed, saying “Einstein’s explanations of all this – from internet news organisations to TV product placement and even dating sites – are thoroughly researched, elegantly explained and often alarming, even for readers familiar with most of the above facts in the abstract.”
