Silicon Valley’s Galactic Colony Fetish, w/ Alina Utrata | Ep. 173
Manage episode 390320010 series 2593455
How do the space-colony visions of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos meaningfully differ? What does a company like Space-X have in common with the old imperial company-states, like the British East India Company? And why are billionaire bros obsessed with “political exit” projects like seasteading and galactic escapism? We tackle all that and more with Alina Utrata, a scholar whose new article in American Political Science Review called, “Engineering Territory: Space and Colonies in Silicon Valley” is a banger.
Morris Cohen, Property and Sovereignty
Robert Nichols, Theft is Property
