## Resource

What if our destructive relationship with nature, technology, and each other is rooted in colonialism and in a deep disconnection from cycles, seasons, and death? In this episode, I speak with Rania Youssef , an Egyptian refugee living in France, backend developer, single mother, and decolonial activist working at the intersection of technology, queerness, race, and power. Together, we explore how modern technologies—algorithms, AI, surveillance systems, and digital infrastructures—are not neutral tools but extensions of colonial, patriarchal, and white supremacist systems. From the culture of the tech industry to the use of Palestine as a testing ground for digital control, this conversation reveals how domination and extraction are increasingly automated and embedded in our everyday life. Rania shares insights on how white supremacy culture manifests through urgency, productivity, perfectionism, and self-optimization, and why “opting out” of technology is largely an illusion. The discussion also opens space for grief, collective trauma, and the necessity of accepting death as part of regeneration. This episode is an invitation to rethink technology, reclaim community, and imagine regenerative futures rooted in care, diversity, and collective healing. Hébergé par Acast.
