Dangerously interesting!
After departing his child project ‘The Disinformation Company‘, Richard Metzger, kind of vanished. This was a real shame for me personally, as I list Metzger as a huge influence on my formative years as a fan of the alternative, counterculture and the occulture.
Luckily for us, however, Metzger reappeared recently as a guest blogger on the excellent BoingBoing, as a guest on episode 23 of our show (and the upcoming epiode 27), and now hosting his own new Internet TV show ‘Dangerous Minds’.
Metzger has always been at the forefront of Internet media, most notably the excellent ‘Infinity Factory’ back in the late 90′s.
So far Dangerous Minds has seen conversations with the very cool Charles Hugh Smith and most recently, RWYASN favourite Doug Rushkoff.
In this 5 part YouTube interview, the dangerous-duo cover some really interesting topics, drawn mostly from Rushkoff’s fantastic new book Life Incorporated: How the World Became a Corporation and How To Take It Back (review coming soon). Give it a watch, and then check back here next week for an interview with both on subject ‘CounterCulture Ain’t What it Used to Be’.

Very interesting and well worth watching. As usual though when listening to Mr Rushkoff I am sort of glad there aren’t too may of us questioning the fabric of reality we have woven. If we stop playing the game then the game is over and I don’t fancy living in Mad Max land.
