We also discuss:

  • What motivated Yang to encourage people to spend less time on their phones
  • Online polarization
  • Parents’ screen addiction affecting their children 
  • Three types of screen time
  • AI’s impact on the workforce, especially repetitive cognitive work
  • The idea of a human-centered economy
  • What can we do as a society to prepare for the next 10, 20, 30, 40+ years?
  • Forward Party
  • Lesson that Yang learned from 2020 run that he applies to Noble Mobile
  • Yang’s changing motivations over time 
  • Tips for a better relationship with your smartphone
  • The Situationist dérive

...and more!
