About this listen
In this gripping TBD Talks episode, hosts Travis and Ryan tackle a burning question: Is technology driving America’s moral decline? Joined by xAI’s sharp-witted Grok, they dissect how smartphones, social media algorithms, and AI fuel dopamine loops and instant gratification, drawing on B.F. Skinner’s behavioral insights. From Star Trek’s warnings about over-relying on tech to DARPA’s murky role in projects like LifeLog (hello, Facebook’s origins), they connect modern tech’s grip to ancient wisdom from Aristotle and Plato on temperance and natural law. Are we becoming lazy, narcissistic, and desensitized, or can tech amplify virtue? This episode unravels how algorithms shape our ethics and whether we’re outsourcing our moral compass. Perfect for those curious about tech ethics, American culture, or philosophy. Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube! #TechEthics #MoralDecline #AIPodcast #SocialMediaImpact #TBDTalks
