Silicon Valley wants to shape our future, but why should we let it? Every Thursday, Paris Marx is joined by a new guest to critically examine the tech industry, its big promises, and the people behind them.

It’s not your usual tech podcast.

In more than a decade of training and clinical practice as a psychiatrist, I've become increasingly disillusioned by the American healthcare system. It prioritizes profit over progress at the expense of OUR health. The average American spends almost twice as much on healthcare as the next highest spending country, yet our life expectancy drags four years behind other industrialized nations and ranks OUTSIDE the top 50 in the world. The system is a disaster, yet it's broadcast as 'the greates ...

Even more alarming is that most people are not properly educated about it, especially with rampant misinformation on the internet and dreadful propaganda from both sides. This leads to public disarray, bad decisions, and a broken idea of good and evil. This podcast bravely jumps into the political mire to ...

The term comes from World War II. Allied forces landed on remote Pacific islands, bringing with them cargo: food, medicine, equipment, and more. To the islanders, t ...
