#1: The Ideas Behind Digital Flux

Show notes

The digital landscape is rapidly growing, progressing at an unprecedented speed. However, we are still unsure of all our options and their short-term and long-term benefits. Additionally, we are uncertain about how these options impact our behavior, decision-making processes, and overall navigation through life. With so many options available, we often focus on the next immediate choice and lose sight of the bigger picture. This phenomenon was already described as a "racing standstill" by the philosopher Paul Virilio 30 years ago.

How can we broaden our perception and understanding without getting overwhelmed by the multitude of opportunities? How can we become more strategic and less tactical? How can we develop perspectives that allow us to navigate our contexts calmly? And does “digital” deserve a didactic? These are the questions that Digital Flux aims to address.

In our first episode, we delve into the essence of Digital Flux. Together with my audio producer Lawrence, we explore its meaning and the underlying thinking principles.

We also provide a preview of what's to come: discussions on topics ranging from advancements in quantum computers to the effects of personal electronic devices on humanity, as well as sociological phenomena of the digital world like Ghosting and Digital Toxification. Our goal is to facilitate critical conversations that shed light on the digital landscape.

This is just the beginning of our journey to uncover the overarching concepts and ideas that shape our interaction with digital life and how digital life, in turn, changes us.

Cheers, Dennis
