Squad Wealth with Other Internet
🕑 Added 2020-09-10 00:09:01 +0000 UTCReally happy to welcome Other Internet to the podcast, an independent strategy and research squad based between New York and Berlin.
Their recent essay “Squad Wealth” looks at the phenomenon of interdependent squads emerging on the internet as a necessary progression from the atomized independence economy.
We discuss Squad Wealth and their other incredibly useful conception of Headless Brands, the redundancy of the binary left/right axis when tracking emerging cultural developments, critiques that have been leveled against their Squad analysis, and different decentralized institutions and arrangements that are forming to spread big squad energy.
Wonderful group of people. Hope you are having a good week! We have a bunch of great guests lined up into the fall, and now have electricity in the space. Although given the way things work in Berlin it might be a few months before we might have an internet connection…

Great conversation and fascinating ideas. Really appreciate the part where the squad idea is challenged in the context of music industry/ community.
yo keep holding it down!! yeah its a truly thoughtful organization in such a bleakly structured educational environment. very cool
@lindsey ay this is toby from the podcast. i'm personally pretty close to the SFPC crew. i live with melanie hoff who runs the Code Societies program there. so yeah i think these microschools and new academic splinter groups are definitely part of the squad phenomenon
