So much of the time, reality these days feels surreal. The economy resembles a casino with prediction markets and gambling sites that allow you to bet on anything. People everywhere are ensconced in their own, algorithmically tailored realities. Social media is warping our perception of the world, while artificial intelligence threatens to remake it entirely.
It all feels ridiculous and unmooring.
On November 14, The Atlantic will launch a new video podcast called Galaxy Brain to try to make sense of the online fire hose of our information ecosystem.
Galaxy Brain will aim to be a grounding force—a space for conversations, explanations, and tangents that anchor you to reality—however strange it may be. No slop, bots, or spam.
Watch or listen to Galaxy Brain every Friday (or any day you want!) on YouTube and everywhere that you listen to podcasts.
