“Culture is stagnant, so politics is stuck” – playwright James Graham | Radical Thinking – podcast

Playwright James Graham warns that algorithmic content curation has created a "massive crisis of the new," leaving culture stagnant and democratic imagination paralyzed. In a podcast discussion, Graham argues that digital platforms' filtering mechanisms prevent society from envisioning alternative futures, potentially deepening democratic crisis. His concerns align with recent cultural criticism examining how algorithms have homogenized and flattened contemporary culture.
