By The Art of Charm

Technology has an increasing influence on our lives, but did you know even small concentrated doses, such as working all day on a computer (aka a “tech coma”), can have a significant impact on your ability to interact with other people in healthy? What to Listen For What is Eric Weinstein trying to do with his new podcast and why should you listen to it? What does the world of professional wrestling know about psychology that most psychology professors and researchers don’t? What is the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW) and what can you learn from about how to have a constructive conversation with people you disagree with? How do you break through disinformation when you’re constantly surrounded by “fake news”? How do you draw a boundary with your personal life if you have a life in the public eye? How is immigration being used to transfer wealth from one group to another and why should we restrict it? How do you take a platform’s algorithm into account when deciding where to get your news and information? How can you become a critical consumer of information in an era driven by narratives and algorithms? Are you defenseless in today’s day and age of corporations tasking incredibly smart individuals to do just about anything to get your attention, even if it means complete fabrication of events? How do you approach conversations when you know you’re going to disagree with the other person? What is bad diversity and how does it distract us from having otherwise constructive conversations? What is a tech coma, how do you know if you are in one, and how does it cause atrophy of your social muscles? How can perfectionism hurt the pursuit of your goals and what can you do if you feel you are a perfectionist? As technology continues to permeate our everyday existence, it can be easy to let slip the skills that really matter when it comes to living healthy and happy lives. Humans are social creatures, and we rely on social interaction to bring us some of the most meaningful experiences and emotions while we’re alive.
