When technology outruns our bodies and attention, the real move is to ground back into the world.
This conversation is for designers, creators, and leaders working in fast-changing technological environments.
If you feel numbed, rushed, or afraid of being replaced by tools and systems, you are in this terrain.
Together we examine how technology’s edge can reveal what is irreducibly human.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
• How accelerating technology can both alienate us from, and clarify, what it means to be human.
• Why “getting worldly” — embodied, social participation in reality — is a structural immunity to replacement.
• How to train awareness through discomfort, attention, and curiosity so your work stays grounded under digital speed.
With Stijn Ossevoort, designer and philosopher working at the intersection of technology, design, and human worldliness.
