What Could Possibly Go Right? #52 Douglas Rushkoff Revisited: Finding Connection in a Destabilizing Digital Realm
Douglas Rushkoff makes a return appearance to the series with fresh insights on our core question of What Could Possibly Go Right? Listen to his previous interview on episode 28.
Douglas Rushkoff is an author, documentarian, and host of the popular podcast, Team Human. Rushkoff’s work explores how different technological environments change our relationship to narrative, money, power, and one another.
He addresses our question a second time with thoughts including:
- The importance of contentment in “just less” and acknowledging the enoughness we have already
- The striving for connection with others, in a context where the “human organism has reached its peak of loneliness and is trying to find itself again”
- That the “digital realm is so much about choice” and we can use technology for light or dark
- The need for real-life interactions as an antithesis to technologies which “are intentionally decalibrating; they destabilize you and your nervous system”
