In light of our podcast discussions here and here, I'm helping Frithjof Bergmann launch what will hopefully be a series of shorter video discussions on New Work at bloggingheads.tv. We made our first recording yesterday, and it has already been posted:
There shouldn't be much new here for PEL listeners who've already sat through our two interviews with him, though just seeing the two of us (a leather hat?!) might be a hoot. It's pretty much me giving a short introduction, him talking for a half hour straight, and then both of us sketching out a couple of provisos and wrapping up.
I'm of course finding the user comments pretty interesting, and that's really the point of doing this in a non-philosophical forum like blogginheads.tv. The tentative plan is to get Frithjof in dialogue with some various economics people, technology experts, and the people working on these projects with him, both to bolster and detail his case and to really engage with both hostile and complimentary viewpoints.
