We’re living through a world-changing moment, and nobody really knows where it ends up. So I brought on Sam Webster Harris (host of “How to Change the World”) to zoom out and make sense of AI the only way he knows how: by comparing it to the biggest shifts in human history.We talk about what AI can’t touch (yet), why human “chaos” still matters, how the speed of change is messing with our ability to learn, and what happens when entire career paths become outdated mid-degree. We also dig into the historical parallels that actually help, the ones that don’t, and Sam’s warning label for this era: more nuance, less tribal nonsense, and a lot more collaboration.Hosted by: Jomiro Eming (www.jomiro.de)--------------------More about this episode's guest:Sam Webster Harris is a writer, researcher, and the host of the podcast How to Change the World.
