The Slow Frequency
A weekly cultural impulse about the tensions between exponential technology and human culture.
Every Thursday, I discuss the challenges we face as humans in a world dominated by AI.
There are no guests, no interviews, no advertisements, no background music under the voice. Just the argument, and the silence around it.
The Slow Frequency is the audio companion to The Human Datum. The spoken version is not a reading of the written essay — it is a different performance of the same thinking, shaped for the ear rather than the eye. The written essay is constructed to be reread. The spoken essay is constructed to be sat with.
I draw on literature, philosophy, art, and design to explore what it means to be human in an economy that is automating the experience of being human. Each episode ends with a question, not an answer. I do not believe the world needs more people telling leaders what to think. I believe it needs more people helping leaders sit with the right question long enough for their own judgement to surface.
I call it The Slow Frequency because the ideas explored here operate on a slower clock than the news cycle. I am not interested in what happened yesterday. I am interested in what it means — and what it will mean in ten years.
The frequency is slow. The signal is clear.
