The Creativity and Consciousness Podcast with Jake Kobrin
Are Computers Making Us Stupid?
In this episode of the Creativity and Consciousness Podcast, we explore the intriguing premise set forth by Frank Herbert in his seminal novel Dune, where humanity, after a catastrophic dependence on “thinking machines,” vows to reclaim its intellectual sovereignty. We look at whether our modern digital dependency is undermining our cognitive abilities, creativity, and depth of thought. Drawing parallels with historical intellects like Bach, Beethoven, Darwin, and Einstein, who achieved greatness without digital aids, we question the impact of today’s ubiquitous computing on our ability to think critically and creatively. The discussion spans various fields, from music production to the sciences, highlighting how digital tools might be smoothing out the rich idiosyncrasies that define human creativity and intellect.
Join us as we examine if the convenience of modern technology comes at the expense of our intellectual depth, and explore ways we might use these tools judiciously to enhance rather than diminish our cognitive capacities.
