The old system was never fit for purpose - and now it's collapsing around us. So how do we co-create a Thrutopian future that we'd all be proud to leave as our legacy? What stories can we weave of possibility? Of transformation? What happens if we commit to a world based on generative values: compassion, courage, integrity? What happens if we let go of the race for meaningless money and commit instead to the things that really matter: clean air, clean water, clean soil - and clean, clear, courageous connections between all parts of ourselves, between ourselves and each other, between ourselves and the Web of Life - so that we can reclaim our birthright as self-conscious nodes in the web of life? We can do this. Some of us already are. Every week on Accidental Gods we speak with the people who are living this world into being, courageous pathfinders who are exploring the emergent edge of inter-becoming. As a species, we have all the answers, we just haven't yet crafted all the new stories and woven them into a future that works. We have the choice now - we can choose to transform…or we can face the chaos of a failing system. Our Choice. Our Chance.…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T10:24:02.025894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699"},"episode":{"title":"We Need to Talk about Tech: Exploring AI, fresh Hope…and the power of Song with Nathalie Nahai","slug":"we-need-to-talk-about-tech-exploring-ai-fresh-hope-and-the-power-of-song-with-nathalie-nahai","published_at":"2026-07-15T00:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699/we-need-to-talk-about-tech-exploring-ai-fresh-hope-and-the-power-of-song-with-nathalie-nahai","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/accidental-gods-the-thrutopian-podcast-830699","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/12ed3c7b","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/12ed3c7b/8438c200.mp3","summary":"The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed. William Gibson We need to talk about Big Tech, and particularly AI - it's ubiquitous, it's powerful, and currently, it's unconstrained and this is not an ideal combination if we live in the real world of mass extinction where human and more-than-human communities are being destroyed to serve the death cult of predatory capitalism at its most rapacious. The question is - how do we shift the dial on the future when so many of those whose fortunes are sunk into Tech, and AI in particular, seem to be steeped in the Dark Triad of psychopathy, sadism and narcissism? Is there any sign of hope amidst all the chaos and the frozen despair that narratives of inevitability foster in us? We turn this week to long-time friend of the podcast, Nathalie Nahai. Nathalie is a celebrated author, keynote speaker and host of the glorious Nathalie Nahai in Conversation podcast which enquires into our relationship with one another, with technology and with the living world. She’s author of the international best-seller Webs Of Influence: The Psychology of Online Persuasion and, more recently, Business Unusual: Values, Uncertainty and the Psychology of Brand Resilience which has been described as “One of the defining business books of our times”. She’s a consultant, artist and the founder of Flourishing Futures Salon , a project that offers curated gastronomical gatherings that explore how we can thrive in times of turbulence and change.
