Subversive: Default Friend

Tech Optimism under Pod Conditions, Sex Work, Wine Aunts & Incels.

Your weekly podcast update.

This week I talk to Default Friend.

Default Friend is a writer, cultural commentator, tech familiar, and, coincidentally, a friend. 

We talk about the future of tech and tech optimism under the dark cloud of a year of skepticism about technocratic forces at work in our world. We also chat about dating, sex work, Mormons, wine aunts, simps & incels. 

A fun conversation with a whip-smart lady. 

You can find her work at defaultwisdom.substack.com and on her Twitter @default_friend.
