There were some valuable takeaways. One session that stood out featured Jack Kornfield and Tristan Harris, interviewer and interviewee respectively. Jack introduced Tristan as the “whistleblower of technology” as he worked for the big tech companies Google and Facebook, and left to start The Center for Humane Technology. He spoke about brain hacking and persuasive technology with the focus on “how much human attention can we gain” rather than the use of technology for good, adding the tidbit that “email is a stressful product”. His great dismay was a motivator for a different, vastly more humane direction and new company.
