Ep 338 Peacewarts Lab: A Letter to Palmer Luckey – Peace of Pie & Brave Listening

Ep 338 Peacewarts Lab: A Letter to Palmer Luckey – Peace of Pie & Brave Listening When autonomous drone proponents defend AI weapons by pointing to historical pit traps and landmines, we have to pause and look at the real ethical calculation: how do we justify sending autonomous killing machines to protect our own while completely erasing the humanity of those on the receiving end? In this special Lab episode, Avis steps out of the standard curriculum format to deliver an unvarnished open letter addressing Palmer Luckey’s recent comments at Moonshots Live. Instead of shrinking back into fear, Avis shares two personal tools for maintaining agency: The Peace of Pie: A personal framework for protecting human agency across 24 hours (Human Me, Human Others, AI & Me, Corporate AI & Distraction, and Brave Listening). Brave / Dangerous Listening: Grounding ourselves in our spiritual anchors so we can face uncomfortable truths about technology, politics, and the commons without contracting into fear. The episode closes with a original ska-punk anthem, Brave Listener. Listen: Peace is Here anywhere you listen to podcasts.
