laws. | |
 |
| |
 |

 |
Deepgeek, Klaatu, and lostnbronx discuss the nature of online vs. real | |
 |
world identity. Who are we all, really, under our various screen names | |

 |
| |

 |
| |
 |
08-Sex-Drugs-and-Rock-n-Roll | gopher-menu |
 |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx | |
 |
look back at the flappers and speakeasies of the 1920s and 30s, and attempt | |
 |
to draw a line from the newly independent women of that era, up through the | |
 |
Playboy Bunnies of the 1950s, all the way to today. Are things better or | |
 |
worse? Is what we "know" about history really important? And do the Info- | |
 |
Underground boys have any clue what they're even talking about? | |
 |
| |
 |
09-Backwards-Capitalism | gopher-menu |
 |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) The Info-Underground guys consider | |
 |
why capitalism does (or maybe doesn't) work, why people use it as a tool for | |
 |
a better life (or maybe don't), and what the source of ambition, commercial | |
 |
aspiration, and greed truly is (or maybe isn't). | |
 |
| |
 |
10-Local-Control | gopher-menu |
 |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Klaatu, and Lostnbronx | |
 |

 |
their leadership. | |
 |
| |
 |

to create such a thing themselves. | |
 |
| |
 |
12-State-of-Independence | gopher-menu |
 |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu | |

 |
getting worse? | |
 |
| |
 |
13-21st-Century-Superstar | gopher-menu |
 |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu | |
 |
talk about cultural iconography. In a fast-paced era of influencers and | |
 |
niche content, how much commonality do we still have? Are universal | |
 |
cultural touchstones even a requirement of civilization anymore? | |
 |
| |
 |
14-Working-Out | gopher-menu |
 |
(First presented on Hacker Public Radio.) Deepgeek, Lostnbronx, and Klaatu | |
