I look forward to the doc, but I’m cautious of blaming “tech”. That’s like saying war is caused by “guns”. Tech in itself isn’t the problem, I’d argue it’s the commodification of attention span, and how that is used to fund much of the tech we interact with. Basically, capitalism is the problem, not “tech”.
@@Nezquicoule I agree, follow the money, but it’s a short path, it leads to advertisers. This creates a medium that needs sensationalism to attract audience. Sensationalism is and can be created through extreme viewpoints.
well there has been changes in the way we communicate but some of it is actually good, you can learn things faster we are more conected, i thought the 80s was a fairly average and i think people have loosened up in a way, people seem more aware than they were in the 80s ....im poor i get that, but im probably happier than i was 20 years ago.. i can see some negative trends but i can also see positive ones.... im in OZ , which is probably a reasonably good place to be , but im not as negative as this guy.
If you don't see how crazy insane our 'normal' is, you're part of the problem. Or is mass murder in Gaza normal, millions of homeless Americans without healthcare normal? Destroying the climate, profit over humanity, climate change denial, corporate lobbies running governments, conspiracy theories everywhere while nobody knows what is true anymore, etc.
You have no clue. The world gets poisoned by corporations we call normal. The VS has a con artists as candidate believed by millions. People may work 50+ hours and still not eat well, or afford a house. Women have less and less rights over their own bodies. Etc.
This is such an important conversation, thank you.

The build up of the surveillance and manipulation consolidation of the media they knew where they wanted to go for a very long time.
I thought just like you for a long time, but I‘m not so sure anymore
Follow the money: war profits to the military industrial complex. Mass surveillance and AI driven operation systems profits to Big Tech.

Can't wait for Asif's forthcoming opus on the life and career of Sir Kenny Dalglish.

Except smart phones and tech have been shown to lower learning outcomes
Dystopia isn't here.
