And if so, who are really the new revolutionaries? They also consider the effect Covid-19 will have on a new generation’s financial prospects, and whether the underlying flaws in capitalism will finally be laid bare.</p><br><p>In his monologue, Rushkoff looks at the way our policing problems can only be solved if we fund and utilize other kinds of civil servants instead of just ones with weapons.</p><br><p>Read “Good Cops Don’t Need Grenade Launchers” by Douglas Rushkoff from Medium’s<em> GEN:</em></p><p><a href="https://gen.medium.com/good-cops-dont-need-grenade-launchers-c6110ddb453e:" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gen.medium.com/good-cops-dont-need-grenade-launchers-c6110ddb453e:</a></p><br><p><strong>— Support Us —</strong></p><br><p>Team Human is made possible thanks to the generous support of our listeners on Patreon.</p><br><p>On Patreon: <a href="http://patreon.com/teamhuman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://patreon.com/teamhuman</a></p><p>Become a Contributing Subscriber: <a href="http://teamhuman.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TeamHuman.fm</a></p><br><p>Review the show on Apple Podcasts!</p><br><p><strong>— Follow Team Human Show —</strong></p><br><p>Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/teamhumanshow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/teamhumanshow</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/teamhumanshow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://instagram.com/teamhumanshow</a></p><p>Medium: <a href="http://medium.com/teamhuman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://medium.com/teamhuman</a></p><br><p>#TeamHumanShow #FindTheOthers</p><br><p><strong>— Follow Douglas Rushkoff —</strong></p><br><p>Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/rushkoff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/rushkoff</a></p><p>Medium: <a href="https://medium.com/@rushkoff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://medium.com/@rushkoff</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/douglasrushkoff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://instagram.com/douglasrushkoff</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/rushkoff/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/rushkoff/</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rushkoff/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/rushkoff/</a></p><br><p><strong>— Credits —</strong></p><br><p>Hosted by <a href="http://twitter.com/rushkoff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Douglas Rushkoff</a></p><p>Produced by <a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/58ad887a1608b1752663b04a/episodes/twitter.com/joshchapdelaine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Josh Chapdelaine</a></p><p>Audio Edited & Mixed by <a href="http://twitter.com/lukerobertmason" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Luke Robert Mason</a></p><p>Our community manager is Michael Bass.</p><p>Music by Fugazi (On this Episode you heard “Foreman’s Dog” in the intro – thanks to the kindness of the band and Dischord Records.)</p><p>Special thanks to Stephen Bartolomei.</p><br><p>Team Human is a Production of the Laboratory for Digital Humanism at Queens College.</p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
