Derek Thompson, Staff Writer at The Atlantic, discusses how the U.S. can rally around the idea of collective progress and an agenda of economic abundance. Thompson unpacks why a decline of people’s trust in institutions spanning across media and government could be sparking widespread gloom and causing a disconnect from reality and data.
We also chat about what Thompson calls the dark side of moneyball, which raises the question of whether reliance on algorithms is creating a ‘hyper-loop of familiarity’ that is draining creativity and removing the incentive for innovation.
