An unsafe space where we discuss the internet, the media, and the information ecosystem in all its flawed glory.

Alex Fink spent 15 years of his life building perception systems. Cameras, computer vision, that sort of thing. At some point it dawned on him that the world doesn't need more cameras. More information doesn’t lead to better decisions. Quality beats quantity.

The biggest problem facing the internet today is junk. It is everywhere, and we are drowning in it.

This podcast is the place where the smartest people we know discuss the information ecosystem, why it is broken, and how we can fix it.

    #37 - Jeff Einstein - Digital Media Addiction

    Jeff Einstein is a digital media pioneer, who created the first "how to" book on personal computers, and the first digital marketing agency  - way back in the mid-80s.
    Recently, he is exploring what he calls the "default meta addiction", which causes people to sink all their time and money and freedom into digital media, and to neglect the social structures and rituals that gave meaning to people's lives in the past.
    Besides, how could I pass on an opportunity to speak with Mr. Einstein?
    You can find Jeff's work at https://riseofhuxwell.com and the Quality of Life Resistance Movement (on substack).
