So before we get into the show, we just wanted to provide a little update or reflection on why we're doing this.

The problems that we look at every day, the Center for Humane Technology are really serious.

They have to do with election integrity,

social isolation, shortening of attention spans,

the toxification of the information environment.

We have to fix these things.

And so as a small organization of no more than 10 people work full time on doing that.

Oftentimes people look at us and they say,

we're so glad that those guys are working on that and we don't want that to be the case at all. This is something that requires every single person,

especially those people who are inside technology companies,

to stand up and be part of the solution.

And what that means is sometimes you'll see episodes every week and sometimes there might be a little delay.

The only thing I would add here is you know how Alan Greenspan used to walk into the briefcase and reporters would look at the size of

his briefcase and try to guess like if it was really thick they knew something

was about to happen in monetary policy. You guys can do the same with us if it it's been a little while, that's because there's a lot of, like you can make some guesses about what's going on behind the scenes.

So if you see a delay from us and it's been a couple of weeks,'s not that the podcast has stopped it's just

that we have some big things going on and you know we want to hear from you about how

you're finding this valuable we're doing this to try to have everybody step

into being part of the solution to put our hands in the steering wheel and

change the system.

And let other people know about the podcast.

We're growing in incredible double digits right now.
