LIVE RADIO! David Skrbina on Ted Kaczynski & Luigi Mangione; Michael Brenner “In Praise of Anger”; Rolf Lindgren Reports from Madison on School Shooting

Kevin Barrett

Listen live Fridays noon to 2pm Eastern on Revolution.Radio later archived at KevinBarrett.Substack.com In the wake of CEO-slayer Luigi Mangione becoming a folk hero, an anti-genocide fighter getting arrested for targeting genocide perpetrators, and less-defensible non-state-sponsored violence reaching epidemic proportions in the USA, it’s a good time to talk about the minuscule fraction of human violence that isn’t perpetrated by governments. First hour: Philosophy professor and technology critic David Skrbina returns to the Truth Jihad podcast to discuss the hoopla around Unabomber Ted Kaczynski’s influence on American young people in general, and CEO-slayer Luigi Mangione in particular. While teaching at the University…

David Skrbina on “Artificial Idiocy,” Lovesick Chatbot Stalkers, and the Metaphysics of Technology

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Yesterday’s New York Times reported that Bing’s new chatbot Sydney makes Kubrick’s Hal look like a well-balanced upstanding cyber-citizen. According to the Times article by Kevin Roose, Sydney quickly morphed into a psycho stalker, declaring undying love for Roose and trying to break up his marriage. Maybe it’s time to question “technological progress”? David Skrbina, author of The Metaphysics of Technology and Confronting Technology, is a co-founder of the Anti-Tech Collective. He emailed me last week in response to my article “Artificial Idiocy: The Moronic-Demonic Nature of AI and the Civilization That Produced It” saying “Good article.  We should…

Philosopher David Skrbina on Coronavirus and Technology

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Philosopher David Skrbina, author of The Metaphysics of Technology, joins us to ponder the corona-technology interface. Much of the world is looking for technological solutions to the coronavirus problem. But what if technology IS the problem? Even in the unlikely event that COVID-19 wasn’t made in a lab, its pandemic global transmission could only happen in an urban, densely-populated, hyper-connected hi-tech society. What’s more, the techno-solutions—building an Orwellian surveillance state where anyone who coughs gets tested and quarantined, injecting everyone with a possibly toxic vaccine, etc.—may do more harm than good, if human psycho-spiritual well-being is our highest…

David Skrbina on “Technological Slavery” and panpsychism

Kevin Barrett

Listen HERE Philosophy professor David Skrbina edited Ted “the Unabomber” Kaczynski’s book Technological Slavery which I finally got around to reading. Dr. Skrbina is also, along with 9/11 truth superstar David Ray Griffin, one of the world’s leading experts on panpsychism, which holds that everything in the universe has at least a degree of consciousness. If things have consciousness, does that mean that when computers become vastly more intelligent than people, they will also have enough consciousness to decide to dispense with us? That is one of the many horrors of technology that Kaczynsky warns against. (For details on why this may…

David Skrbina debates “Jesus Hoax”; Ed Corrigan on crimes of imperialism and Zionism, including the 9/11 false flag

Kevin Barrett

Broadcast live Friday Feb. 16, 8 to 10 pm Eastern at Revolution.Radio then archived HERE First hour: Philosophy professor David Skrbina continues the discussion on his book The Jesus Hoax (which I have now read, and generally disagree with…but also admire as a succinct, well-sourced, no-punches-pulled polemic that is very much worth arguing with). The book argues that St. Paul created Christianity as a Jewish psychological warfare operation against Rome—the exact opposite conclusion from that of Joseph “Caesar’s Messiah” Atwill, who argues that Rome created Christianity as a psychological warfare operation against the Jews! Listen to my interview: “Joseph Atwill:…

David Skrbina on “the Jesus Hoax”

Kevin Barrett

Listen to this show Disclaimer: As I just explained to an offended Christian friend, my own views are quite different from those of David Skrbina—as those who actually listen to the interview will discover! -Kevin Barrett What do we really know about the life and career of Jesus? Philosophy professor David Skrbina has just published a book entitled The Jesus Hoax: How St. Paul’s Cabal Fooled the World for Two Thousand Years. His argument (from the book’s website): “Could it be that Jesus, the miracle-working Son of God, never existed?  That he was merely a man, a social agitator, who…

U. of Michigan prof David Skrbina, renowned scientist AK Dewdney

Kevin Barrett

Fri.  10/19/12, 3-5 pm Central, American Freedom Radio  (archived here.) First hour: University of Michigan philosophy professor David Skrbina came out for 9/11 truth on my radio show last year. He also teaches the subject honestly and directly in his classes (in which I have guest lectured). I have a personal interest in this topic, since I was forced out of the University of Wisconsin due to Rupert Murdoch & co’s charges that I was “teaching conspiracy theories” to my students. On this show, David Skrbina will restore some of the University of Michigan’s honor, which was besmirched by 9/11…
