Libertarianism — Exercising Power Through Narratives of Progress

Lecture by tante (Jürgen Geuter). Doors open 7 PM.
Part of the series on left-wing critique of tech-fascism. All dates here.

tante criticizes the AI hype and critically examines the libertarian-influenced principles of faith. Where do these principles of faith actually come from? What contradictions arise within them? Are they consistent with our ideas of democracy and human rights? He analyzes elements of TESCERAL ideology that shape the thinking of leading Silicon Valley figures and explains the impact of their narratives in the European context.
