Dr. Annie Margaret - Human Evolution in the Age of Technology, Ep. 500

Annie is an educator, researcher, and human enthusiast motivated by questions at the intersections of mental health, technology, addictive design, the attention economy, and mindfulness.

Her work at CU Boulder and through the Post-Internet Project focuses on helping people align their media consumption with their values, meaning, and purpose - which often means consuming less, not more. She frequently speaks to spiritual communities and organizations about how we can close the gap between our paleolithic emotional wiring and our godlike technologies in service of deeper connection and collective thriving.

She also teaches and podcast on post-materialism, idealism, and the view of consciousness as foundational to reality, which has surprisingly practical implications for how we direct our attention and intention in everyday life.

These two threads—media and mind—dovetail more than one might expect. As tech companies compete to extract our attention and commodify our intention, the frontiers of science are simultaneously discovering the power of our attention and intention to (literally) shape material reality. From this post-materialist perspective, we have a moral imperative to limit extraction and reclaim our focus in order to create the more beautiful worlds our hearts know are possible.
