In this episode of A Changed Mind, David Bayer takes you through one of Alan Watts’ greatest speeches, and the part of it almost nobody talks about.

Watts described the phone in your pocket fifty years before it existed. Then he kept going. He said the network would eventually vanish, and that what it was training us to do, we would one day learn to do without it.

Meanwhile the loudest voices on the future have money, influence, and a vision involving chips in your brain and a second planet. They are allowed to want that. You are allowed to want something else.

By the end you will know where your attention is being spent, which beliefs about the future you accepted without choosing them, and what to do today instead.

Memorable Quotes“There’s nothing inherently wrong with answering a message, but it’s worth noticing how easily access becomes obligation.”“I’m excited about creating a world that is not less human, but more human. About becoming more connected to each other, not less.”“Your attention is the creative force of the universe. Human beings have the unique, exclusive capacity to create their reality.”Connect With David
