Are You Still There, World?

from History Defeats Itself · host Kevin Rosenquist

Everyone wants to live their best life. But in today's tech-filled world of instant gratification and 24 hour accessibility, are we prone to constantly wondering if we could be living a better one? That's what Greg set out to discover. On this episode we're talking about FOMO, or, fear of missing out. Even as I was typing this I got a text message and stopped typing to check it. Was it important? No. But if I didn't check it I would have been consumed by the thought of what it could be. Is it an emergency? Is it a new Instagram like? Did Conan O'Brien finally lift the restraining order and accept my friend request? I would never have known. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
