“Culture is stagnant, so politics is stuck” – playwright James Graham | Radical Thinking – podcast

Playwright James Graham has appeared on the Radical Thinking podcast to discuss the intersection of contemporary culture, technology, and democratic politics. During the discussion, Graham argued that culture has become stagnant, which in turn has left politics stuck.

Graham expressed concern that the public may be doomscrolling its way into a democratic crisis. He suggested that modern algorithms have precipitated a massive crisis of the new, ultimately preventing society from imagining a different future.
