About this listen

Join T.W. Palmer in The Curio Report, where history and science meet adventure. In this episode, we journey to a Himba village in Namibia, exploring the profound clash between indigenous culture and the encroachment of modern technology. Witnessing this firsthand left T.W. questioning how societies adapt—or struggle—with sudden technological advancements. Through the lens of this experience, and with insights from thought leaders like Neil Postman, we examine the ripple effects of innovation. What lessons can this hold for us as artificial intelligence begins to reshape our world? Tune in for an engaging exploration of culture, technology, and the wisdom we need to navigate the future.
