Where I scream into the void, and it screams back. Tonight, we dive into the illusion of originality, free thought, and whether your brain is just a well-optimized content farm. Are your ideas even yours? Or are you just a walking, talking algorithm puppet? We unpack the ouroboros of content consumption, the fear of new ideas, and why quitting the internet cold turkey sounds nice—but let’s be real, you won’t do it.

Topics Covered: When was your last original thought? No memes, no TikTok trends, just you? The myth of originality—Shakespeare, Greek fanfiction, and artistic theft through the ages. The algorithm doesn’t just know you—it is you. Viral content: why everything has to feel like something you've seen before. You’re not addicted to entertainment. You’re addicted to the scroll. Can you actually log off? No, seriously. Try. The digital panopticon: Who benefits from your existence online? (Spoiler: Not you.). If you’re still listening, congrats—you’re part of the problem.
