Listen "Rescuing Your Soul in the Algorithmic Age"
Episode Synopsis
The text consists of excerpts from an article titled "How to Rescue Your Soul in 2025," written by Greg Twemlow, which advocates for a complete and decisive break from AI-powered social media platforms. Twemlow recounts his personal journey of deleting all social media to regain deep focus and creative capacity, arguing that these platforms operate on a false economy of distraction by extracting users' agency and attention. He characterises the experience of leaving as an "act of design" and a "reconstitution of the soul," where the initial silence gives way to unmediated presence and genuine thought, which he terms the "quiet revolution." Ultimately, the author frames the choice to leave not as anti-technology, but as a pro-human stance focused on reclaiming consciousness and sustaining attention in the algorithmic age.
