In this episode of Deep Dive with Jaimie Good, Jaimie and Alexander unpack "Everything Bad is Good for You" by Steven Johnson. They explore Johnson’s provocative thesis that popular culture—TV shows, video games, and even reality TV—might be improving our cognitive abilities rather than dumbing us down. Join them as they discuss the implications of media engagement, the complexity of modern entertainment, and how our brains adapt to learn from the very things we often dismiss as superficial.
