The podcast begins with an extensive report on Kenya, with all that's going on over there right now. Listeners to this podcast have given over two million dollars to help in a corner of the world where no one else is present to help people who are dying of starvation and disease. It's an incredible story! Then Brad and Wayne switch gears and talk about a recent New York Times article about how the destruction that comes from our social media platforms, is because their algorithms were designed simply for the bottom-line benefit of the company unchecked by any moral considerations. By pursuing the next dopamine hit, we are drawn deeper into captivity and away from the contemplative spaces that allow us to engage him.
