About this episode

The episode discusses the profound shift in how children learn and interact with the world due to technology.

In the span of just a few decades, humanity has undergone a profound shift. Children once learned about the world by exploring backyards and talking to friends; now they explore virtual worlds and talk to chatbots. Parents once soothed their kids with stories and conversation; now screens handle much of that work. Employees once asked mentors and colleagues for guidance; now they increasingly seek it from AI/DI. This transformation is not inherently good or bad. It is simply the reality of our time. But its consequences depend entirely on how we respond.
