Re: <nettime> Ocular facts


Hi all.
(WNYC’s radio show) On The Media has a recent episode on the political rise of JD Vance and the “new right” that touches on the increasing explicit rightward shift in Silicon Valley leadership (or maybe more accurately, their tacking with political winds).
https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/how-the-media-created-jd-vance-plus-the-anointing-of-donald-trump

Side note: The kinda funny thing about this episode, to me, is that there’s a brief discussion of Curtis Yarvin’s idea of the “cathedral” - the rightwing non-conspiracy-theory theory about liberal groupthink in the US. What do you know, the “new right" has *discovered* the concepts of hegemony and ideology! 

Take care,
Ryan
