The Olympics, and How America Pimps Out Talent To Sell You More Sh*t
This week on 51/49, James discusses the Olympics, and how America funnels its top talent into convincing you to buy more, spend more, and consume more.
Are the Olympics a showcase of human performance and spirited competition, with the goal of bringing the world closer together, or is it to convince you to spend more on your Visa card, buy a Toyota, and drink another Coke?
Are Google and Facebook platforms of communication, connection, and information, or an advertising machine disguised as technology?
What are the implications of a society that incentivizes talent to take any opportunity to sell you more stuff that you don't need?
