Here’s Our Plan And We Don’t Know — with Tristan Harris, Aza Raskin and Stephanie Lepp

Renowned quantum physicist Richard Feynman once wrote, "It is our capacity to doubt that will determine the future of civilization."

In that spirit, this episode is a little different – because we're talking openly about our doubts, with you, our listeners. It's also different because it’s hosted by our Executive Producer Stephanie Lepp, with Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin in the hot seats.

How have we evolved our understanding of our social media predicament? How has that evolution inspired us to question the work we do at Center for Humane Technology? Join us as we say those three magic words — I don't know — and yet pursue our mission to the best of our ability.
