Pitinos of the Mind: How Silicon Valley Hacks Your Attention Span, with Chris Hayes
Tue, 28 Jan 2025
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.

Willkommen bei Pablo Torre Finds Out. Ich bin Pablo Torre und heute werden wir herausfinden, was dieses Geräusch ist. Grab. Right after this ad. You're listening to DraftKings Network.

Wie kann man nur so... Ausgeruht sein? Ganz einfach. Trainiere deinen Schlaf und werde auch du zum Morgenmenschen. Mit der Galaxy Watch 7 oder dem Galaxy Ring und der Samsung Health App.
Hallo und willkommen bei MSNBC.
Ich bin Rachel Meadow. Und Eltern, ihr müsst euren älteren, buchigen lesbischen Mädchen verstecken, weil... Ja, ich bin wieder auf TV. Tonight for our special inauguration weekend coverage, I'm joined by our panel of MSNBC hosts, basically like the Avengers for your aunt. It's Ari Melber. Thanks, Rachel. Joy Reed. Glad to be here. Stephanie Ruhl. Hey, girlfriend.
And finally, Chris Hayes, aka Woke Sheldon.
Okay, drag me, mama.
You know, one of the weird things about the experience of... Was denkst du, Rachel? Oh, ich bin nicht Rachel. Ich bin Chris Hayes. Usually, you know, we're conditioned to only see ourselves through the eyes of people that we love, our friends, our coworkers. But to see yourself through strangers' eyes is to sometimes feel, it's like unrecognizable.
Like there's all these people outside you that have, they have this vision or expectations of you that is just irreconcilable with like who you think you are.
