How to Reclaim Your Attention from the Algorithm with Amelia Hruby, PhD

Philosopher, podcaster, and our producer Amelia Hruby, PhD returns to the show to discuss the many perils of the attention economy. We explore the nuanced relationships between attention and productivity, social media and mental health, and algorithms and agency. Amelia also shares her critiques of digital detoxes, flow states, all-or-nothing thinking, and short-form video. 

Behind the paywall, we discuss quantum listening, the political and social impacts of algorithms, generative AI, and an exclusive discount code for Amelia’s new book, Your Attention Is Sacred Except on Social Media. Plus, Christy shares some big news: Amelia will be on the mic for more episodes starting next week!
