In Futilitarianism, Neil Vallelly explores how neoliberalism has transformed the relationship between maximizing utility and the common good. He uses contemporary examples to demonstrate how the practice of utility maximization in neoliberalism traps people in useless and repetitive behaviors that foreclose the possibility of collective happiness. The book maps the historical relationship between utilitarianism and capitalism, develops an original framework for understanding neoliberalism and recounts the lived experience of uselessness in the early 21st century. It argues that countering the futility of neoliberal existence is essential for building an egalitarian, sustainable and hopeful future.

And we are joined Now by Neil Vallelly researcher and economic and social research note Aurora and also a lecturer of Sociology at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Sorry if I butchered any of those pronunciations. Neil and also the author of the book that we're discussing today utilitarianism neoliberalism and the production of uselessness. Neil thanks so much for coming on. Hi Emma thanks so much for having me. of course and we should say joining us from New Zealand where it is Friday which is blowing our minds here at the studio. But coming from the future Neil talks about his book. Your book really touches on so many things that we try to discuss here in the majority report. You put it you know more eloquently than I could. But what I love is how you really were born. It's out of your personal experience with budget slashing to Humanities divisions at your University like social studies Etc. We've talked about this on the show before about how they're deemed indulgent or unimportant and you know go into something that'll make you money essentially because they don't sufficiently serve capitalism and in fact, they challenge many capitalist Notions. So what did You observe in your own personal experience with your profession that led you to explore this a bit more? Yeah, thanks, Emma that's very kind. Yeah yeah so basically that that's where the book started for me I finished my Ph.D. in 2015 here in New Zealand. And about six months after I finished my Ph.D. The humanities division at my University went through a series of huge cuts where lots of staff were fired. And it really made me start to reflect on basically the idea of the humanities as deemed somehow useless by in a social context or political context. And I started to think about what not simply you know to buy into that kind of rhetoric of you know we need degrees or useful to get jobs on and so forth. It was to think about how something become constructed as useless. And I spent a lot of time now you know teaching students about the kind of contemporary University. and so say in New Zealand where I'm based you know I'm teaching students whose parents would have gone to University where it was free and would have got a bursary to go to university. and I'm teaching colorful people who are paying these crazy fees to go to university and they're all in debt. And that's a completely radical transformation of what education is.

liberal candidate in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race Janet Protasiewicz I hope I'm saying her name correctly has won. and this is just incredibly exciting because Protasiewicz now with her victory over a conservative former Justice Dan Kelly who's an election denier and was backed by anti-abortion groups. that flips the state supreme court for the first time since 2008. and there are a lot of things that the Supreme Court can rule over which includes abortion in the state. There's a 19th century abortion ban that is at issue right now that the state supreme court could essentially nullify and codify the right to abortion in the state of Wisconsin. It literally passed a year after Wisconsin became a state and Republicans in Wisconsin are trying to make it into the law of the land. law of the state. but also just the incredibly aggressive right-wing gerrymandering district lines that have cemented a disproportionate Republican takeover of the state government. and there it's just been years and years and years of activism and organizing to attempt to claw that back. because even though the state really is much Bluer Than the state government would indicate because of how gerrymandered it is. It's difficult to overcome that because you need a lot of money, you need a lot of resources and you need a lot of turnout. And for Protasiewicz apparently the turnout was so significant for her, not just in Madison Milwaukee which are liberal areas of the state. but she also made gains that were surprising in some of the state's smaller cities and in rural areas which wasn't necessarily expected. So here is Protasiewicz after winning the special election for the state supreme court at her Victory party speaking about the meaning of the importance behind her win. So finally to the people of this beautiful state of Wisconsin I thank you. [Applause] today's results mean two very important and special things. Yes, first it means that Wisconsin voters have made their voices heard. [Applause] they've chosen to reject partisan extremism in this state. and second it means our democracy always prevails. [Applause]

Benjamin T. Smith, professor of Latin American history at the University of Warwick joins Sam and Emma to discuss the DEA''s “divide and conquer” policy of turning Mexican cartels against each other and taking out kingpins with relative success working to bolster their "War On Drugs" financially, even as addiction, drug use, and overdoses continue to soar, and they take on the similarities between this war, and the amorphous, never-ending war on terror.

Right-wing talk radio host Clay Travis defended the fake accusations against the U.S. Women’s National Team supposedly disrespecting a 98-year-old World War II veteran during the national anthem, telling Fox News on Tuesday that the faux story was justifiable because, "American sports fans totally think it’s believable.” Sam Seder and the Majority Report crew discuss this.

Sam Seder: Here is one of those stories where right-wing media tells a completely fabricated story, and then the Fox people justify it because it WOULD be something that they expect. Uh... what happened? This is featuring Clay Travis. Here it is.
Dana Perino: There's this um dust-up over the u.s women's soccer team um there are some people who think that they there were members of the team who were turning away from the fl the flag and the anthem that was being played there um but then the u.s soccer team said no actually that's not true some people were just looking at the different flag that was there carly lloyd she's a midfielder she said we turned because we faced the flag and she gave a little flag emoji uh i know i watched the video i feel like maybe that that makes sense to me but what did you see well first of all congratulations to 98 year old world war ii veteran who played the national anthem so beautifully before this game i think he deserves an awful lot of commendation credit and applause from everybody out there for what he did uh in the past and also what he did just yesterday but i think this is dana emblematic of where we are with sports now where a huge percentage of american sports fans totally think it's believable that the u.s women's soccer team would turn their back on a 98 year old world war ii veteran as he plays the national anthem and not even think twice about it i like you dana watch this video i think it's a little bit confusing they weren't all faced in the same direction and i think it is unfortunately a sign of where we are as a country that so many of us just presume that that level of disrespect is occurring by our national teams during the anthem you can tell the sensitivity o
