In the first segment of this episode, Zara Zimbardo, professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, talks with co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield about the billionaire tech bro version of American Exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny and Elon Musk's fantasy campaign for colonizing Mars, all the while abusing planet Earth. Zimbardo points to the continued relevance of Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon."
The second segment features Mickey in conversation with investigative journalist and science writer Peter Byrne, discussing Byrne's ongoing work to expose the dangers of militarizing AI and the tech bros profiting from it. As part of Byrne's 10-part series, AI Military Watch, for Project Censored, this conversation highlights the Trump 2.0 Stargate Project and deconstructs the corporate press's failure to inform the public on the realities of the techno-libertarians inside the war machine.
