TOTW: VOICES
In a world of perpetual information overload, how do you retain authenticity or independence? How does one even begin to sort out the cacophony of voices, how does one locate the source(s) of their own speech?

A Conversation with John Zerzan on Direct Action, School Shootings, Authenticity, Veganism & More
I reached out to Zerzan by email with 4 long questions to help prepare for a different conversation with an anti-industrialist, plus the suggestion that I could post our Q&A text interview around a few places to help clarify his political theory and promote my critique of primitivism. But he offered to voice chat instead, which was a pleasant surprise.
So I'll post the video and transcribe our conversation here. I edited the text slightly for clarity’s sake, just to remove filler words and put anything I forgot to say in, but I ran the updated version past Zerzan and he’s happy his answers still suit the questions asked.
