The modern workplace, much like Queen's iconic song, is "Under Pressure." Existential angst has always been present, but rapid advancements in AI, massive layoffs by tech giants, and the isolation of digital meetings have introduced new fears—fear of obsolescence and fear of dying alone in our offices, unnoticed. 😨
In this episode of Code Red: Technology, Madness, and the Future of Humanity, we tackle the harsh realities of tech's dehumanizing grip on the workplace:
▶People are trained like machines, only to be threatened with replacement by machines. The solution? Refuse to act like machines. 🛑
▶An anecdote from a future-of-work scenario workshop reveals how digitization can lead to complete isolation.
▶The psychological toll of acting like robots and how it increases the risk of being replaced by actual robots.
▶The constant state of overwhelm in digital workspaces and its impact on our humanity.
▶How C-level executives’ refusal to make decisions reflects a deeper systemic issue.
Join Silicon Valley-based inventor and philosopher Chris Kalaboukis and me as we explore these pressing issues and offer solutions to reclaim humanity in an increasingly mechanized workplace. 🎙️

Read the original Code Red column that inspired this conversation here:
🫶If you now want to take the driver's seat and shape the future of work for yourself, I have a process for that: it's called future scenario thinking. Developed by the U.S. Air Force back in the 1940s, this technique dives deep into what drives decisions, helping us understand the root causes and mechanisms behind them. It's all about working together to shape the future we really want.
🎯It’s a highly effective brain trick that brings what's lurking in your subconscious to the forefront, helping you gain clarity, craft a long-term vision, and make confident choices. When we're intentional about our decisions, everything shifts dramatically in our experience.
