7.5: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Four Great Things We Take for Granted and Ought to Fight to Keep

In these dark times of (American) political backsliding/the general rise of fascism in the Global North, Ariel and Christina consider four things that we'd made great progress on, to the point of taking those achievements for granted. Let's take the time to acknowledge them and the danger we are in of losing them. Because how can we fight for what we don't recognize as being incredible yet fragile?

PS: We definitely didn't plan on this coming out on the day of the Canadian federal election, but so it goes. Go forth and fight the fascists at the ballot box, friends.

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?

In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.

Use of Artificial Intelligence:

AI Dialogue with Jim Lunsford features two AI co-hosts facilitating discussions on various topics. These AI personas help guide the conversation, offer insights, and contribute to exploring themes like discipline, resilience, and personal growth. While the AI provides valuable perspectives, all stories, reflections, and experiences shared are genuinely Jim’s own. The AI serves as a tool to enhance the dialogue and provide a fresh, analytical angle, but the heart of each episode remains centered on Jim’s personal journey and insights.

Episode 5.3: Solarpunk, Lunarpunk, Crypto, & Web3 with Stephen Reid

Disclaimer: Neither Christina, Ariel, nor the Solarpunk Presents podcast agree with nor support the use of cryptocurrencies or web3. For sound critiques (as well as explanations) of these technologies, check out the videos Line Goes Up - The Problem With NFTs from @FoldingIdeas (youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9) and Web3.0: A Libertarian Dystopia from @Munecat (youtube.com/watch?v=u-sNSjS8cq) as well as the website web3isgoinggreat.com/.

In Season 5 Episode 3 of Solarpunk Presents, Christina chats with transdisciplinary technologist Stephen Reid about the relationship that solarpunk and lunarpunk have to crypto and web3. If lunarpunk is what solarpunk gets up to in the shadows of a moonlit night, that suggests that lunarpunk is inherently more interested in privacy, security, and anonymity, especially from the watchful eye of the state. Further, that means that where solarpunk is interested in renewable energy, sustainability, appropriate technology, and social justice, lunarpunk is interested in the tools, like cryptography, cryptocurrencies, and web3, that safeguard our privacy and anonymity and potentially protect us from tyranny. Do we need lunarpunk’s fixation with using tech to protect our privacy to counterbalance solarpunk’s sunny optimism that everything will all be fine to break through to a better world?

Season 4 episode 9: The Fantasies of Post-apocalyptic Dystopian Fiction, with Ariel Kroon

Classic, post-apocalyptic, dystopian fiction is a type of fantasy where we’re dreaming of starting over in an empty landscape from a societal and cultural slate wiped clean by some devastating event that we don’t have to feel guilty about having happened—at least, it is according to our very own Ariel Kroon, who does, yes, have a PhD in it.* Yet, at the same time, these fantasies generally suffer from a strange lack of imagination, wherein the characters use the “fresh new start” to recreate the same old society, albeit with themselves at the top, with the same old systemic socioeconomic, environmental, and structural problems.

It’s almost as if it is easy to dream up apocalypse but next to impossible to envision a different way of living. Although a failure of imagination would most likely look different for solarpunk, can solarpunk creators and dreamers of a positive future avoid falling into the same sort of trap?

*Post-apocalyptic Canadian science-fiction 1948-1989, she wants to clarify. She’s even got the thesis to prove it.
