The Deeper Thinking Podcast
A screen flickers. The system is online. But something is missing. The data flows, the dashboards update, the lights stay on—but presence has vanished. This episode explores the emotional and philosophical latency within modern economic systems: the places where stress becomes unreadable, suffering becomes delay, and meaning dissolves into metrics. The glitch, once a sign of failure, now becomes the only way emotion survives.
This isn’t a story of collapse. It’s a recursive silence. A world that continues functioning while comprehension quietly disappears. Through subtle images of breath, blinking cursors, and ghosted financial phrases, the essay traces a deeper contradiction: the system is working as designed, but the design excludes the human. Pain remains—but without language, without response, without logoff.
What happens when the software doesn’t crash—but we do?
A haunting philosophical portrait of emotional illegibility in automated systems
Insight into the glitch as a form of emotional survival
A recursive meditation on latency, economic logic, and the absence of presence
An original conceptual lens on system design, affect, and contradiction
