The Oyster
THE OYSTER
close

In a not so distant future, due to overwhelming carbon emissions, The Earth is on the brink of becoming uninhabitable. These conditions are made far more horrifying because the available housing shelters (that can produce sustainable air quality) will only be able to house 80% of the world’s total population. To try and save the human race, every person has a government-mandated microchip implanted in their brains to attempt to facilitate the migration of a portion of the population to an underground shelter. In order to decide who gets to be protected and who must stay above ground, the government implements a value scale they have determined based on “usefulness” to future society. If you are valued at a 50 or above, you will be chosen to enter the bunker, and, if not, you must stay above ground and face the end of days. “Neuron” (which acts as both a prestigious brain implant and also a software company) is folded into a sanctioned branch of the government called, “The Ministry of Experience.” Their job now is to develop technologies and software that can replicate the human experience above ground. But what is far more pressing is The Ministry must find a way to reduce the use of resources, or they will run out of all survivable assets before being able to relocate to “Eden” - the one place above ground that might be salvageable in a few years time. Whether Eden will be ready in time remains to be seen, but its existence is literally the last hope for the human race surviving. In a drastic effort to cut emissions and resource usage, “The Oyster” is created. The Oyster is Nirvana - A state absent from the mind while being filled with complete pleasure and bliss. What, then, happens when reality begins to fade and The Oyster is all that remains? The Oyster stars Logan Browning (Dear White People and the Perfection), Mamoudou Athie (Jurassic World), Carla Gugino (Haunting of Hill House), Keith David (Greenleaf), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Constance Zimmer (House of Cards, UnReal), Andrew Santino (Dave) and more.

Trinta por uma linha
TRINTA POR UMA LINHA

Podcast de debate entre três «indivíduos na casa dos trinta» – Afonso Eça, João Tiago Gaspar e José Maria Pimentel – que se juntam para discutir assuntos políticos e económicos «sem partidarites nem salamaleques». Os autores assumem-se como liberais, embora discordem quanto ao significado desse rótulo, mas não abdicam sua independência. Os episódios são disponibilizados quinzenalmente (agora em parceria com o ECO). -> Afonso Eça: Nascido em 1987, natural de Lisboa. É empreendedor na área de fintech, sendo um dos administradores da Raize (plataforma de financiamento colaborativo). É também professor convidado na Nova SBE onde lecciona diversas cadeiras do mestrado de Finanças. Na gíria do comentário, em Portugal, seria apelidado de “neoliberal”, mas julga-se apenas um convicto liberal clássico. -> João Tiago Gaspar: Nasceu em 1990 e cresceu nas imediações da Serra de Aire. Trabalha na Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos (uma instituição respeitável que não é para aqui chamada) enquanto politólogo (à falta de melhor palavra) e editor. Em tempos idos licenciou-se e completou o mestrado em ciência política na Universidade Católica, tendo sido estudante visitante na Universidade do Colorado, em Boulder, e na Universidade de Oxford. Diz identificar-se com o liberalismo social, uma ideologia reformista que não tem muitos adeptos em lado nenhum, por isso escusam de contar com ele para morrer pela causa. -> José Maria Pimentel: Autor e anfitrião do podcast "45 Graus". Da colheita de 1987 e natural de Coimbra, é economista de formação, com mestrado pela Universidade de Tilburg, na Holanda, e um MBA (“Lisbon MBA”). Tem carreira profissional no sector financeiro e actividade docente no ISCTE-IUL (anteriormente, também na Nova SBE). Tem coração liberal -- e isso nota-se -- mas tenta ir à procura da razão onde ela estiver, seja na direita tradicional, na esquerda clássica ou na nova esquerda da justiça social (ou isso, ou -- como há quem tenha dito -- gosta simplesmente de ser do contra).

Amidst tragedy, heartbreak, and relentless change, two artists strive to find inspiration through deep chats with fellow creatives about what it means to be alive, right now. And so, Dystopian Telephone--an existential comedy podcast for the New Renaissance--was born! With each new episode, host Alanna and tech wizard Dayjan reach into the void of our present surreality to discuss life, love, politics, and everything in between.
