About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of data centres on the climate emergency and the societal perceptions of value, alongside updates on a potential Love Island appearance.

Do you feel like lower value human capital or do you believe you should be on Love Island?  Who declares who is of value and who isn’t? Will the future belong to those who refuse to be defined by what the tech overlords decide they should be?  On Free State we look at how the climate emergency is being accelerated by data centres and why nobody has the will to stop them.  And we provide a major update on the potential Love Island appearance of the Galway footballer ‘Fitzy’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
