Speaker expresses shock and depression over the election outcome, fearing a dystopian future.
what? I didn't think Trump would win either. I was shocked by it. I've been in a depression because of it. And now I'm thinking about the future that doesn't exist. And I'm filled with anxiety about it. And that's why I think most importantly, it doesn't exist. That right now, if we were to all bet on the future, it would be a pretty dystopian future. Yeah.
[32:41-33:11]
Speaker encourages imagining a better future and shares their project 'The Future of Authority' aimed at overcoming authoritarianism.
So I say disbelieve in that and start imagining one you want. And I'm currently working on this project called The Future of Authority. And it's a play on words because we're in an authoritarian society. So we need to see a future past it. We need to see a future past authority. We need to see a future past this hellscape we find ourselves in. And I acknowledge that's imagination. We're making it up, but it's a lot better than all the alternatives.
