Episode description

Humans aren't just social — we're ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The Anxious Generation,” he's more concerned (and hopeful) than ever before.
