Om Podcasten

This is a podcast about a sort of “enchantment” our tech has cast over us. We want to get under the covers a bit. What are the boundaries set around technology? Who sets them and why? We will explore how much we should trust these boundaries setters to make good decisions for us. We ponder where machines ‘’quantify us” in great detail for extraordinary insight. And we consider where this quantified human exhibits directed or even controlled behavior. With a dab of irreverence, we’ll conduct this investigation through a series of discussions, thought experiments, and rich examples.
