Season 2, Episode 8: The power of perspective (with guest Alistair Vince)

Dahlia is joined by Alistair Vince, Co-Founder and Chief Botherer at Watch Me Think. Alistair and Dahlia's conversation centres around Mark Fisher's quote 'Nobody is bored, everything is boring.' They discuss why we are so obsessed with our bright and shiny smart phones and the idea that the overload of content is overstimulating but lacks true inspiration. Alistair explains that the way we are now consuming content has dramatically changed the way we shape our perspective of the world and what this means for how we shape our own thoughts and opinions. The conversation starts and finishes with a pair of orange jeans and how they were Alistair's way of standing out, perhaps shaping a part of who he is today. An incredibly thought provoking conversation that will make you want to question your news channels, turn your phone to greyscale mode and get out for a walk.
