Podcast cover

Upstream with Erik Torenberg

This podcast episode delves into the transformative nature of the internet and its parallels with the advent of the printing press, emphasizing its profound implications for society, power structures, and individual identity. Jon Askonas articulates a vision of a fragmented, increasingly interdependent world shaped by technology, where the rise of super states and the impacts of AI challenge traditional narratives of culture and politics. He underscores the historical shift in information dynamics and the ensuing crises in mental health, societal trust, and consensus reality, ultimately urging listeners to adapt to the new landscape rather than resist it.
