    Did Only Fans Eclipse the American Dream?

    For close to 100 years if you were young and beautiful and talented the American Dream had a specific shape. You went to Los Angeles. You waited tables. You sent headshots. You hoped — you prayed — that someone powerful noticed you. A producer. An agent. A studio executive. In the darkest iterations it was someone like Harvey Weinstein: the man with a casting couch and a contract. Access to this dream depended on someone deciding whether you were worth making famous. It’s no secret here’s Carrie Fischer at George Lucas’s tribute in a joke about something that was all too real, saying “I hope I slept with you to get the job because if not who the hell was that guy.” But the old ways are dying. The new American dream is stranger, more subversive, and depending on your perspective maybe more troubling, than the old one. In some versions it looks like this: a 50 foot woman played by a legitimate celebrity depicting an only fans star while terrorizing an urban area in revealing clothing. I kid you not. This same scene appears in two different hit shows featuring the DIY porn industry. No one exemplifies the new celebrity economy better than Sophie Rain. She grew up on food stamps, joined OnlyFans and made ninety-five million dollars. Not from a long standing career. Not with a record deal or a film franchise. Ninety-five million dollars, from her bedroom, talking directly to the people who believed they could gain a sliver of her personal attention. No power broker decided she was worth taking a risk on. It was just her, and the audience, and a platform that takes twenty cents on the dollar. And, yeah, I know we’re talking about pornography here, but we are also talking about fame itself because technological adaptations that happen in that space eventually get adopted everywhere else, too. And something strange is happening on Only Fans.

    Why "Christians" Hate Dan McClellan

    At some point you’ve probably heard someone say “the Bible clearly states” followed by. . . well, just about anything. Does God hate gays or love them? Is Jesus the prince of peace [Isiah 9:6], or does he come to bring the sword [Matthew 10:34]? Whatever your political or religious persuasion there always seems to be a passage to back it up. But what does the Bible, REALLY say? Well, to understand that you sort of need to know where the bible comes from.Dan McClellan on YouTube:  @maklelan

    Wait...are most jobs fake?

    In 2013 the anthropologist David Graeber examined one of the strangest contradictions in modern capitalism: despite exponential gains in productivity, people were working even harder that ever. In his landmark essay called “On the Preponderance of B******t Jobs” and then a book a few years later, Graeber showed how as much as 37% of all jobs in capitalist societies are, well, b******t. Or, to use his own words “where even the person doing the job secretly believes the job really shouldn’t exist.(...) But nonetheless, part of the conditions of employment is that you have to pretend that it does.” Graeber wasn’t the first to notice the problem. Back in 1930 the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that ever-increasing industrial output from factories would make it possible for everyone on earth to work 15 hours a week. Within a few decades the economy met his expectations, but people’s workloads didn’t get lighter. Fast forward to today, and the question of B******t jobs is once again on everyone’s lips. Everyone from Bill Gates to Sam Altman and Elon Musk have heralded AI as the new harbinger of the 15 hour work week. After all, the very things that AI is supposedly good at—getting rid of menial intellectual labor and automating digital tasks—are exactly the sorts of things that will get automated away. But here’s the thing, what if b******t work isn’t a bug in industrial captialsim? But that it is it’s key feature? In this week’s video I dig into why B******t work is almost definitely here to stay despite the promises of tech barons.
