from Kill The Computer
We're back from our holiday break, thank you for sticking with us. More to come very soon, in the meantime, you can find the remainder of this episode at www.Patreon.com/KillTheComputer -- Hussein Kesvani, freelance journalist, co-host of Trash Future and 10k Posts, joins us for our first ep of the year. In it, we borrow a term from our friend Ed Zitron known as "The Rot Economy". Instead of applying the theory to products and services, we ask what happens to the human brain when companies know they're harming their users but still insist upon a growth-at-all-cost mentality. Consider this the first part in an ongoing arc exploring this topic. Hussein can be found at: https://trashfuture.co.uk/
