Anarchist UBI, local currencies and weird fatigue with Sarah Friend (Circles UBI)
We join Sarah Friend, core dev from talk of the town project Circles UBI to discuss the crazy few weeks they have been having giving away a UBI through social trust networks. We pull apart how the project works and discuss the history of local currencies, potential dystopian scenarios, "weird fatigue" and the turbulence of pursuing an art practice that involves building things that do stuff. We went on a recording frenzy this past week so have a bunch more great episodes lined up. Hope you are all good!
