About this listen
In Episode 152 of The Intellectual Freedom Podcast, Dr. David Hopkins continues his reading of Paul Kingsnorth’s Against the Machine and asks a harder question than whether AI will take our jobs. Drawing on G.K. Chesterton, Karl Marx, Jacques Ellul, and Wendell Berry, he traces how enclosure, capitalism, industrial labor, the attention economy, and artificial intelligence all belong to the same machine logic of efficiency, control, and extraction. This episode explores digital enclosure, productivity culture, behavioral surplus, and why AI may be the final enclosure because it reaches into human cognition itself. If you care about AI, technology, capitalism, freedom, and what it means to remain human in a machine age, this episode is for you.
