You ever wonder how we got here? Like, how did we go from hunting our own meat to two-day shipping? How did we go from being cavemen to domesticated men? Well, the answer is TECHNOLOGY.

But it's not just tech alone, It's what we think the tech should be doing *and* what we think the point of life is.

This episode is for you if:

  • You're into history and like learning about how innovation has impacted economics, politics and society.
  • You want a different perspective on what civilization is and how you can benefit the most from it.
  • You want to start changing your relationship to technology to live a more meaningful life.
