Audio samples from Laugh-In, the Medium is the Massage by Marshall McLuhan, The Grass Menagerie by Henry Gibson, and various Armed Forces Vietnam Network Public Service Announcements. Quotes taken from various 1960s “influencers.” The point of included such clips is to show perhaps not much has changed from the 1960s, but you be the judge. HERE COMES THE JUDGE.

Talk presented at Hacker’s Congress Paralelní Polis on 5.10.24.
Rewinding the Future: The Cultural Anarchism of CassettesAbstractCypherpunks rejoice! We finally have a private, anonymous, and censorship resistant media: the compact cassette. Historically, cassettes have toppled governments, sparked moral panics, and spread subversive messages. But are they still relevant today besides hipster nostalgia? Join me as I recount the transformative history of cassettes, uncovering the parallel societies they have built and explore their modern applications.
In today’s age of pervasive surveillance, the portable, offline, and analog nature of cassettes offers a renewed sense of relevance and freedom. I’ll cover cypherpunk applications of cassettes including innovative uses in backups, ecash, steganography, and analog and digital encryption. And just for fun, you will learn how to make tape loops and DIY sound on sound recording as well. So, get ready to press record and learn how analog recording can aid us in the fight for self-sovereignty and freedom.
