Summary

Douglas Rushkoff sits down with scientists, activists, artists, philosophers, and researchers asking the same question: who actually benefits from the way we've built this world — and what do we do about it? Team Human is a weekly podcast about technology, power, consciousness, and what it means to stay human in a world that increasingly doesn't seem designed for us. No corporate backing. No network. No algorithm deciding what gets said. Just honest, rigorous conversation with people working at the edges of the most important questions of our time.

  • Escaping the Simulation: A Somatic Guide to Reality

    Escaping the Simulation: A Somatic Guide to Reality
    May 6 2026

    Are we living in reality, or just navigating a map of symbols, metrics, and dead things?

    Rushkoff stepped away from notifications, Google Calendars, and his always-on world to attend a shamanic workshop in Costa Rica. He experienced a kundalini awakening that revealed a different way of navigating existence: One based on somatic resonance rather than strategic manipulation.

    The Magic of the Broken: David J (Bauhaus / Love and Rockets)
    Apr 29 2026

    “I came to make you love yourself.”

    Join Rushkoff for a deep dive into the noir consciousness with legendary musician and writer David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets). Together, they explore the liminal spaces between music, magic, and the human heart.

    In addition, David J discusses his new book, "Rhapsody, Threnody and Prayer," a triptych of poems and odes spanning four decades that explores the dimensions of love, loss, and sacred dedication.

  • AI Angels, Demons, and the Fight for the Future (w/ Philip Rosedale)

    AI Angels, Demons, and the Fight for the Future (w/ Philip Rosedale)
    Apr 22 2026

    Can we survive the rise of new AI Golems?

    Philip Rosedale, Founder of Second Life, argues the AI monsters currently being developed are limited by the tech bro survival of the fittest values they are trained on. Instead, he suggests we pool our collective computing resources to create angels: distributed, free AI that grow up as children in simulated environments, developing their own ethics and social intelligence apart from corporate influence.
