This week, Modern Wisdom navigates the tension between human agency and technological inevitability, opening with a wide-ranging studio conversation before pivoting to Tristan Harris's stark warning about AI's irreversible consequences. The episodes trace a philosophical arc from entertainment and risk-taking to existential stakes, ultimately questioning whether self-awareness itself becomes a liability in an accelerating world. Across the three conversations, a common thread emerges: how we make decisions when the rules of the game are changing faster than we can adapt.
