Leaving X and Social Media Behind
Douglas Rushkoff explains his decision to leave X, and all social media platforms, behind him in a first-of-its-kind monologue-only episode of Team Human.
In his monologue, Rushkoff draws inspiration from Chaucer's Parlement of Foules to discuss how the platform dynamics of X/Twitter are unfit for nuanced discussion about global tragedies and human suffering.
