This Episode of the podcast talks about Neil Postman's Book about media consumption and learned helplessness that inspired some of the lyrics in the new Arctic Monkeys Album. we talk about how a certain amount of skepticism was relevant even 80 years ago and how the disparity in the information we consume and what we are able to do about it permanently changes the nature of the human condition as we understand it today. I also indulge myself and talk about Niel Postman talking about Aldous Huxley's brave new world, and spend 15 minutes soaked in information that makes the existence of this episode ironic.
