We're trialling a new format this week, as I am in the Bay of Fires for work. A visit to a beer-drinking pig inspired some ruminations on how and why we connect as this idiotic, digital hellscape builds itself around us. The episode discusses the manipulation and sanitization of reality through digital currencies, IDs, and the evolving media landscape, including the shift to 'private' or enclosed digital engagement opportunities like Mighty Networks and Substack, aiming for authenticity in an increasingly controlled and artificial world. 00:00 Introduction: The World Without Sin 00:21 Filming in the Bay of Fires 00:27 The Pub in the Paddock and Priscilla the Pig 01:58 Exploring the Concept of 'The World Without Sin' 05:18 Digital IDs and Global Changes 09:08 Cultural Reflections and Media Strategy 16:50 The Gap Between Public and Private Discourse 22:55 Media Evolution and Personal Adaptations 39:09 Conclusion: Navigating the World Without Sin In lieu of show notes, here is a picture of a pub, followed by a pig.
