- Algorithmic consumption trains attention patterns that carry into non-algorithmic media like podcasts.
- Grey realized his binge behavior on podcasts was a symptom of prior algorithm-driven habits, not the medium itself.
Label Activities Intentional Or Not
- Track activities as intentional versus unintentional to expose wasted time.
- Wage a 'war on unintentionality' by deciding what you will do before doing it.
New iPhones Feel Like Home
- Both hosts upgraded to iPhone XS/XS Max and felt the larger OLED screens 'felt like home'.
- Grey praised the all-screen design for making the device feel more useful despite pocket trade-offs.
