Phone Alienation, Body Optimization, and Make America Healthy Again with Maya Vinokour
About this episode
Hello!
Today’s episode is a lively one! We talk about optimization, working out, RFK Jr., and how health and the woowoo New Age trends of the 1970s somehow got right-coded and then turned into a pathway to becoming one of the worst people on earth. Our guest to discuss all this is Maya Vinokour, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Russian Studies at NYU. Her first book, called Work Flows, focused on labor discourse in Soviet Russia came out last year.
Her thoughts on all this can be found in the Nation and Jacobin.
