Tech Ethics, Human Evolution & Why You Can’t Focus

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at why some employees at Palantir Technologies are beginning to question the impact of their own work, and what it means to work in powerful tech companies shaping the world. Then we talked about why humans have eyebrows, as explained by evolutionary biology, and what these small features reveal about communication, emotion, and survival. Today’s unpopular opinion was: people don’t need more discipline, they need fewer distractions. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something that distracts you from being productive. The answers might hit a little too close to home.
