Really enjoyed talking to David Runciman about his new book, the power of AI, how the capitalist state became the default way of thinking about the state, corporations, artificial agency and structure, and whether any of it can be changed…tune in to listen @PPFIdeas

Ange Postecoglou's Celtic play a style which resembles the best teams and coaches in world football such as Pep's City, Arteta's Arsenal, & De Zerbi's Brighton.
His Celtic team invert the fullbacks, attack with flawless positional play, & counterpress relentlessly.
