πŸŽ™οΈ Redefining Governance: Power, Technology, and the Human Cost – The Deeper Thinking Podcast

What happens when the pursuit of efficiency overrides human welfare? When legal norms are suspended in favor of unchecked power? And when governance becomes a playground for corporate ambition? In this episode, we explore the intersection of political power and technological influence, where institutions are dismantled, protections vanish, and the human cost is often overlooked. Join us as we examine the quiet erosion of democratic safeguards through the lens of critical philosophy, reflecting on responsibility, resistance, and the ever-blurring line between state and market.
