Amidst the quiet unfolding of a post-war France, a nation piecing itself back together, we wander into the reflective world of Paul Virilio, philosopher, and urbanist. As he delved into the scars left by conflict, particularly the stark, haunting bunkers of the Atlantic Wall, Virilio contemplated the profound ways speed and technology reshape our cultural and physical horizons. His musings on the dromocratic condition and the intrinsic integral accident within every technological advance, invite us to pause and reconsider the pace of our own lives in this modern era. Let us drift into his contemplative insights, gently exploring how the silent echoes of history influence our rapid, relentless present.This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
