In this engaging discussion, Duncan Moench, a punk philosopher and author of 'Soylent Screens,' delves into the haunting grip of technology on modern life. He critiques the exploitation inherent in the attention economy, highlighting how users are treated as mere resources. Moench contrasts this with the hopeful ideology of producerism, advocating for a return to labor-centered values over wealth. He also explores the concept of analog technologies as a remedy for our distracted existence, offering insights on reclaiming focus in a digitally dominated world.
