We trust algorithms with our taste more than we trust ourselves.

In this solo episode, I reflect on how feeds quietly shape what we consume, what we think we like, and how we see ourselves. From preference vs taste to feedback loops and creative flattening, this is a short, philosophical look at what happens when convenience replaces curiosity.

This isn’t about deleting apps or rejecting technology.

It’s about paying attention again, creating a little friction, and remembering that engagement isn’t the same as self-knowledge.

We’re living through a world-changing moment, and nobody really knows where it ends up. So I brought on Sam Webster Harris (host of “How to Change the World”) to zoom out and make sense of AI the only way he knows how: by comparing it to the biggest shifts in human history.

We talk about what AI can’t touch (yet), why human “chaos” still matters, how the speed of change is messing with our ability to learn, and what happens when entire career paths become outdated mid-degree. We also dig into the historical parallels that actually help, the ones that don’t, and Sam’s warning label for this era: more nuance, less tribal nonsense, and a lot more collaboration.

How to Change the World

This one’s... a little different.

In this episode, I turn the mic on ChatGPT to talk about how artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping our digital lives.

Albeit unconventional, we still have a really interesting discussion, unpacking how algorithms now curate reality for us, what it means to stay creative when machines can “create,” and why we trust AI more than the humans behind it.

It’s part philosophy, part therapy session for the internet age — asking: When everything online is generated, filtered, or predicted by AI… what’s still authentically human?

Listen for a thoughtful, funny, and slightly eerie reflection on trust, creativity, and the strange comfort of sharing your feed with a machine.
