In this video we will talk about how we are living in WALL-E and the new ‘Dark Ages'. We are going to talk about the current literacy crisis, ipad kids, celebrity reality tv culture, race-to-the-bottom entertainment, AI, media literacy, and cognitive offloading. We are also going to talk about how Idiocracy is now, how social media, late-stage capitalism, and our modern culture actively promote anti-intellectualism. We will also discuss Dolly Parton, AI writing, influencers, and the Kardashians, and how all these different things can make us feel like we are living in WALL-E and technofeudalism at the same time.
