Joining TLAV today is Derrick Broze, here to discuss his recent articles for TLAV, and to discuss a major shift in the water fluoridation conversation, specifically as it pertains to Houston. We also discuss the looming threat of a technocratic future, and the many ways this future is currently becoming a reality, most obvious of which is the currently growing digital ID infrastructure and the surreptitious and deceptive way this early step is being rolled out.

Overexploitation of electricity is one of the leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. As a result, the world is shifting toward LED light bulbs (a more energy efficient option).

That’s because, through the shift towards LED lighting, we have lost something known as infrared radiation which is usually generated by incandescent light bulbs. Infrared radiation is actually beneficial to your health... What?

We're Building a Dystopia Just to Make People click on Ads - Zeynep Tufekci


We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says technosociologist Zeynep Tufecki. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us - and what we can do in response.
