#4 WE'VE LOST OUR HOPE

In a bid to monetize our attention, the Market deploys algorithms and fear-based click bait tactics that trick our primitive brains into thinking things are worse than they really are–and we're worried about bringing children into 'this messed up world.'

The statistics clearly support the truth that life is significantly better for most humans than ever before. We must let optimism, not pessimism be our self-fulfilling prophecy for the future. It's our only hope.

We are in a time where we've sort of accepted the unrestricted, unregulated mining of the human consciousness, the harvesting of human attention. We are the resource and I think it takes its toll.”
