Abolish Silicon Valley—How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism

Author: Technology, AI, Software, Future, Economy, Science, Engineering & Robotics Interviews - Creative Process Original Series July 25, 2025 Duration: 48:54
“Abolishing Silicon Valley means freeing the development of technology from a system that will always relegate it to a subordinate role, that of entrenching existing power relations. It means designing a new system that isn't deluged in the logic of the bucket. It means liberating our worlds from the illegitimate ring of capital. Perhaps this sounds unfair to capital. Perhaps I sound like I'm not grateful enough for everything that capital has given us, but we don't owe capital anything; the things we attribute to capital were built by workers."

At the intersection of human ingenuity and our rapidly evolving tools, Tech, Innovation & Society-The Creative Process offers a necessary space for deep conversation. This podcast moves beyond simple gadget reviews or speculative hype to examine how technology, from foundational software to advanced AI and robotics, is actively reshaping our culture, economy, and daily lives.

The focus is consistently on pathways toward a more sustainable and thoughtfully constructed future. By exploring the lives and creative practices of these diverse minds, the series illuminates how artistic sensibility informs scientific rigor and how technological understanding can expand creative possibility. Tune in for a nuanced exploration of the forces designing our tomorrow, grounded in the expertise and personal reflections of those who are shaping it.
