I'd like to follow up on some of the hazy ideas I introduced in my last stream, especially the idea of affective accelerations. I would also like to reflect a little bit on my own recent efforts in cultural engineering. I will be joined by Antjuan Finch, who is interested in some related ideas about how to engineer better systems of collective meaning. He has written about a concept he calls "sustainism," which we will discuss. Antjuan's website is antjuanfinch.life.
