From Cambridge Analytica to AI and surveillance capitalism, this urgent conversation asks: Are we sleepwalking into a future where truth itself is algorithmically controlled? And what can we still do to fight back?

"The solstices are when the Earth’s poles reach its maximum tilt away from/ towards the Sun. During the winter solstice, which happens twice a year, the hemisphere furthest from the sun experiences the shortest day and longest night of the year. During the days around the winter solstice, the sun is so low on the horizon that it appears to rise and set in the same place. That’s why the word solstice can be translated to “sun stands still’ in Latin."

The main object of the Cape Town Talent Exchange (CTTE) is to facilitate trade and exchange without using the national currency. It does this by providing a range of non-monetary exchange methods. This helps to build community by connecting people and providing a local support network.

By ‘trade’ we mean the normal activities of providing goods and services by ‘givers’, ‘producers’, ‘sellers’ or ‘providers’, and the receiving of these by ‘buyers’, ‘customers’, ‘clients’, ‘patients’, ‘consumers’, ‘receivers’, etc.

If you are interested in joining the community please learn more about it on the website: https://www.ctte.org.za/
