Marc Andreeson's War on Contemplation

from The Catholic Frequency · host Catholic Frequency

Marc Andreessen went viral claiming introspection causes emotional disorders and that he aims for “zero” of it. This episode examines how this Silicon Valley gospel of constant building and motion revives the ancient demon of acedia, and why the Catholic tradition calls us instead to the stillness of examination of conscience and contemplation where we encounter God.
