Navigating AI, Misinformation, and Political Dynamics

When Jonah isn’t wrangling spaniels into his sprinter van or running to and from the CNN studio, he moonlights as the assistant treasurer of the International Christine Rosen Fan Club. To thank him for his loyal service, Christine drops by the studio to discuss her new book, The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World. Jonah and Christine dive into the downsides of the digital world, the end of boredom (and what we lose when we eliminate it), the disconnect between the evolution of technology and the evolution of man, and where we draw the line with our relationship to technology. Should we engineer our way out of the problems of human nature? How do we navigate a world where man no longer shares one reality? Does Christine want us to go back to the Dark Ages? This Remnant installment has the answers … as long as you don’t listen to it in the waiting room.
