Social Media, Technology, and Hedonism

Hello and welcome to Upgrade Thought! After a short hiatus, I am back with a new episode.  Today, I will be welcoming back my friends, Bennett and Manyu. In this episode, we share our thoughts on developing healthy relationships with social media and technology. We share some creative strategies for accomplishing this, before proposing an overarching framework for avoiding hedonic pleasures and embracing delayed gratification. Personally, I have found it quite difficult to figure out how to use my phone in a healthy way, allowing me to extract the benefits without experiencing the potential negative consequences. That being the case, this discussion was incredibly useful to me. I hope you will feel the same way. Now, without further ado, enjoy the show!
