Exploring the possibilities of a more beautiful world

When you don't use a muscle or a skill, it's a well-known fact that atrophy inevitably sets in. To improve oneself, an active effort must be made to ensure progress. But what happens with the advent of AI, designed to make things easier? What implications will this have on the cognitive processes that require continuous refinement? In this thought-provoking episode of The Great Indoors, host Matthew Roberts speaks with renowned author and philosopher, Charles Eisenstein,  about the evolving role of technology and its impact on aspects of our lives that were once firmly rooted in the tangible. They delve into the core concepts of Eisenstein's work, including Sacred Economics, and discuss the far-reaching implications of replacing the real with the digital. Through engaging anecdotes and philosophical reflections, Charles challenges us to reconnect with the material world, nurture authentic relationships, and consider why oral storytelling may become the future's most reliable tool for building trust. With increasing domination from ones and zeros, it’s time to explore the possibilities of a more beautiful and connected world.

Quote from Placeholder Name

“The more that we're immersed in a digital reality, the less present we feel, the less that that we even have a sense of existing. And that is a deep kind of scarcity, actually. A scarcity, an artificial scarcity, a scarcity of relationships, of intimacy, of sense that happens when we replace physical, material, social relationships with electronic relationships. That leaves us hungry for the real thing.”
