  1. "We have come to this cultural agreement that convenience is so important that it trumps everything else, forgetting that anything that matters in life is inconvenient [...] I think we should re-value difficulty, overcoming difficulty, and take pleasure in gaining mastery, because it is a form of empowerment"

  6. #SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #AdamJohnson to discuss his book #HowToSellAGenocide (all royalties from which go to Middle East Children's Alliance)

    "We talk about how the #media whitewashed Israeli lies, erased Palestinian voices, and contrived a way to make a political settlement seem impossible, and war crimes not only acceptable, but also inevitable."

  11. #SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #AndrewRoss, author of #TheWeatherReport

    '[W]e follow up Andrew’s claim that in #Palestine we find a “grisly future arriving there sooner than elsewhere.” The book focusses on the idea of population and scarcity, and argues that much of the policies that are based on the presumption of scarce resources are actually predicated on what Ross calls “bogus scarcity"...'

  16. #SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #MaryAnneFranks, author of #FearlessSpeech: Breaking Free from the #FirstAmendment

    "As the title of the book indicates, this is a fearless and iconoclastic critique of the ways that the First Amendment has been interpreted and mobilized in ways that protect and extend #racism, #misogyny, religious fundamentalism, and corporate self-interest."

  17. #SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #KarenHao, author of #EmpireOfAI: Dreams and Nightmares in #SamAltman’s #OpenAI

    'Karen explains that she chose the word “empire” precisely to indicate the colonial nature of #AI’s domination: the tremendous damage this enterprise does to the poor, to racial and ethnic minorities, and to the Global South in general in terms of minds, bodies, the environment, natural resources, and any notion of democracy.'
