In the fourth and final conversation in this series David talks to Luke Kemp, author of Goliath’s Curse, about where we might be heading. Where does the greatest risk of global collapse lie? Who is ultimately responsible for our fate? What makes states and corporations the agents of doom? How can we humans fight back?

In today’s episode David talks to Luke Kemp, author of Goliath’s Curse, about the prospects for societal collapse in the 21st century. Are we living in a global Goliath? Is there any escape in an age when personal data has become the primary lootable resource? Does interconnectedness mean we are more vulnerable to collapse than ever? And what can we learn from the fate of Somalia?

In today’s episode David talks to Luke Kemp, author of Goliath’s Curse, about the strengths and weaknesses of modern states and modern structures of authority. Are modern states any different from the criminal enterprises of coercion that preceded them? Does democracy change the dynamic of societal collapse? What are the lootable resources of the modern age? And why are all states essentially empires?

Today’s episode is the first in a series of conversations about what causes human societies to fall apart and what might come next. David talks to Luke Kemp, author of Goliath’s Curse, about how we build our structures of authority and how they can fail. How were human societies organised before we had governments? What drove the creation of the first hierarchies of domination? Why did rising inequality so often lead to societal collapse? What does this teach us about the vulnerability of our own societies?
Out now on PPF+: a bonus episode to accompany our recent exploration of the past, present and future of nuclear warfare in which David discusses John Hersey’s Hiroshima (1946), the definitive account of what it’s actually like to be on the receiving end of a nuclear attack.

De acordo com o Censo de 2022, um a cada quatro brasileiros é evangélico. Durante os anos 1980, porém, essa situação era bem diferente. Só 6% da população se dizia evangélica, e poucas coisas eram consideradas mais caretas pela geração jovem e roqueira do que “ser crente”.
Isso começou a mudar em 1989, quando uma igreja decidiu apostar no rock como uma estratégia inovadora de evangelização. Sob forte influência da cultura evangélica norte-americana, a Igreja Renascer em Cristo revolucionou a música religiosa brasileira e introduziu uma nova palavra no vocabulário fonográfico: gospel.
Levantamentos especializados apontam que a música gospel representa 20% do mercado fonográfico nacional. E esse mercado consumidor, de mais de 47 milhões de pessoas, começou a ser construído quando um jovem músico baiano e um ex-figurão da publicidade da TV Globo ajudaram a emplacar uma banda de rock gospel.
O episódio 154 de Escafandro mergulha na história da música gospel, conta como esse gênero musical dominou o Brasil, e como isso ajudou a religião evangélica a se espalhar por todo o país.

What are the prospects for nuclear disarmament in the 21st century? How does the risk of nuclear war intersect with other existential risks, from climate change to AI?

In today’s episode David talks to S. M. Amadae about what happened when the nuclear age turned into an all-consuming arms race. What is the supposed logic and the terrifying illogic behind the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction? What is the difference between M.A.D. and N.U.T.S.? Do we really believe that our leaders would press the button? And how have we managed to survive to this point – rationality, luck or merely a stay of execution?
