/81/ CaliBunga: Tech, Drugs & Capitalist Soul, Pt. 6 (Patreon)

In this very final part, the guys undertake some self-criticism and ask, are we right to present all that we've covered as the 'Californian Ideology'? And if so, where does it all go next? Does the phoney spirituality eventually get eaten up by capitalist rationality and bourgeois order? Or does 'wellness' and associated notions become ever more important?

#CaliBunga is a special multipart series on the Californian Ideology: the seemingly paradoxical hybrid of New Left and New Right ideas - the synthesis of hippies with yuppies, all tied together with the promise that technology might liberate us.
