Superhuman - From Engineered Desire to Engineered Consent
A grieving father’s search for answers and the century-long con that sold corporate freedom as our own.
When my son died, I started asking questions. The answers led me to places I never expected: a dinner party in Vienna, a railroad case nobody remembers, our constitutional rights hijacked as an excuse to look away while children die.
Superhuman is my search for what happened. Not just to my son, but to all of us.
Superhuman - From Engineered Desire to Engineered Consent
In Good Faith
Twenty-six words written in 1996 gave platforms legal immunity. One court decision in 1997 turned that immunity into a business model.
Attorney Carrie Goldberg shares what it's like representing hundreds of victims, from sextortion to cyberbullying to suicide, and watching nearly every case slam into the same wall. Brett Allred and Kristin Bride reveal what the absence of "good faith" looks like when platforms know the patterns but wait for children to die.
And as Section 230 finally begins to crack, we expose the tech industry's next move: rebranding the same harmful systems as "AI" to claim a new decade of immunity.
When courts won't look under the hood, we will.
