About this listen

We live in the most connected era in human history—yet somehow, we feel more confused, more overwhelmed, and less certain than ever. In this debut episode of The Social Contract, we unpack what it means to live in the “Age of Information”—and whether it’s helping us understand the world, or simply drowning us in distraction.

From the psychological toll of nonstop notifications to the erosion of trust in traditional knowledge structures, we explore how the very fabric of communication and connection is shifting. Is more information making us wiser, or just more anxious?

Join us as we reflect on how we got here, what it’s doing to us, and why the answers might lie in rediscovering the foundations of meaningful dialogue.
