"The Tech Coup" is a Brilliant New Book That Describes How the Tech Industry Captured Government

My guest today, Marietje Schaake, is the author of a brilliant new book, The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley. The book explains how the tech industry has effectively captured government, assuming many of the functions traditionally held by governments, but without the oversight inherent in democratic governance. This includes areas like national security, domestic functions, and even the maintenance of democracy itself. Marietje Schaake is an old friend of mine and a former member of the European Parliament from the Netherlands. We begin our conversation by discussing her experience leading the EU's election observation mission in Kenya in 2017, when a faulty French voting technology company disrupted the election with serious political consequences. We then move on to examine the tech industry's role in supplanting government in the national security realm, and why Elon Musk's alliance with Donald Trump is so potentially dangerous for democracy. The Tech Coup is easily one of the best books I've read this year. It presents a compelling argument for why democracies should push back against the growing influence of the tech industry—and how they can do so. Here is my conversation with Marietje Schaake, a non-resident Fellow at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center and the Institute for Human-Centered AI, and the author of The Tech Coup.

Protests and a Major Political Turning Point in Kenya

On Tuesday, June 25, Kenyan protesters stormed parliament in Nairobi in scenes reminiscent of the January 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol. However, unlike January 6, police responded violently, and at least six people were killed. The protests had been ongoing for days as the Kenyan parliament moved on a finance bill that would increase taxes for ordinary Kenyans in unusual ways. Like many countries in Africa, the government of Kenya faces an extreme level of debt and was looking for new sources of revenue to service its debt payments while also keeping the government functioning. Following the protests, President William Ruto said he would no longer pursue this taxation bill. While protests in Kenya are hardly unusual, what makes this protest movement so unique, according to my guest today, Brian Obara, is that it was not organized along ethnic, tribal, or even class divides. Rather, it was youth-led and broad-based -- and that could signal a profound change in Kenyan politics. Brian Obara is a Kenyan lawyer, media professional, and columnist for The Star, a daily newspaper in Nairobi. We kick off by discussing what was in this ill-fated Finance Bill that so agitated Kenyans. We then discuss what transpired in the protests and what this episode suggests for the future of politics in Kenya.

Bird Flu is Now Spreading in Dairy Cattle. Are Humans Next?

H5N1, otherwise known as Avian or Bird Flu, has been around for a long time. Mostly, the virus has been passed among wild birds, but there have also been sporadic outbreaks in poultry flocks. Now, the virus has spread to dairy cattle and, in at least two cases, from cattle to people. This has experts in pandemic prevention on high alert. Dairy workers come in close contact with cattle, raising concerns that the virus could mutate in such a way that it can be transmitted not only from animals to people but also from human to human. Joining me to discuss the risk that H5N1 could become a virus capable of human-to-human transmission, and what can be done to prevent that, is Robyn Alders. She is an honorary professor with the Development Policy Center at the Australian National University and a member of the Lancet Commission on the Prevention of Viral Spillover. We begin by discussing the history of H5N1 before delving into the current outbreak among dairy herds. Alders also explains why addressing the root cause of these outbreaks requires a fundamental shift in how we approach food systems.

The challenges in measuring sustainability data

Sustainability is firmly on the food and agribusiness agenda. Companies in the sector are now moving from making a sustainability strategy to measuring and making changes in many aspects of the food system, but before making improvements, one has to establish a base. To discuss the challenges and opportunities, the team invited Hans de Gier, CEO of IT company SyncForce, to bring his perspective on measuring sustainability and data issues. One thing he is quite adamant about is that current measurements may not always be correct. A lot of improvements need to happen, and collaboration between actors in the chain might be the way forward.

E47: Looking Back At the Past Year While Looking Ahead to the Next

I'm really grateful that you are taking the time to tune in this week, especially during this busy time of year! Last week, I talked about reflecting on your dental house call practice's performance and setting goals for the new year. This week, I want to share my personal reflection on the ResiDENTAL Movement with you. I reached my 2023 goals, but more importantly, it helped me set goals for the community in the coming year. In 2023, I committed to being more consistent with creating podcast episodes, which was a challenge with all the other things going on in life. But with the help of my podcast production agency, I achieved that goal. Teamwork really does make the dream work! I also created the Dental House Call Practice Academy, which was something I wished I had when I started my own practice. It's been a new journey for me, and I'm excited to improve upon it based on the feedback from the first cohort of students. In 2024, my goal is to grow the audience and the community. I'll be more active on social media to spread the word about dental house calls. I also want to expand the ResiDENTAL Movement Official Membership to help more house-call dentists connect and grow. I'm sharing my goals with you because accountability is important to me, and I'd love to hear your feedback. If you have any requests or suggestions for the new year, please reach out to me. Your input is valuable to me. Thanks again for tuning in. I really appreciate you! See you in 2024!
