PTFO - Pitinos of the Mind: How Silicon Valley Hacks Your Attention Span, with Chris Hayes

Ever since the invention of the written word, there have been moral
panics about how new technology corrupts our brains. But now — as
the richest companies in the world pour billions into an all-out
war for eyeballs — something very different is happening. So
we talked to the author of a new book, "The Sirens' Call," about
why a satirized nerd on MSNBC is an ideal authority on how Silicon
Valley is exploiting the human condition. Plus: the significance of
spam, the Cocktail Party Effect, HammerKing75, a court of Infinite
Jest, the piglet advantage... and a hot take from Socrates. Get
Chris Hayes' book, "The Sirens' Call":
