Chris Hayes on Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and His New Book "The Sirens' Call" | PTFO
Ever since the invention of the written word, there have been moral panics about how new technology corrupts our brains. But now β as the richest companies in the world pour billions into an all-out war for eyeballs β 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.

I found myself repeatedly underlining the new book from @chrislhayes.bsky.social. So we met up to discuss spam, SNL, Dominion vs. Fox, the MSM, Blaise Pascal, Rick Pitino, the Cocktail Party Effect, mentions, HammerKing75, Neil Postman, piglets, and a Socrates hot take π youtu.be/N2VvOTAoywU?...
This is the best chat I've heard in a long time. @pablo.show and @chrislhayes.bsky.social talking about attention is 100% worth 100% of your attention. Having worked in TV, the idea of competing for people's focus vs. literally everything ever made rings really true. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Vv...

Being 100 here... I'm not a Chris Hayes fan by any means BUT this discussion today with @pablo.show about TV, nerdom, attention & today's social needs was FASCINATING! youtu.be/N2VvOTAoywU?...
