In this episode, Andrew and Nathan explore how modern life, saturated with endless communication channels and choices, is leading to a breakdown in basic interactions. Starting with a personal story about team dysfunction in a government accelerator program, they use the "cereal aisle" analogy to explain how having too many options makes everything more complicated. They then share relatable anecdotes—from unhelpful restaurant staff to unresponsive companies and failing government services like the post office—to show how this problem of being overwhelmed is causing a decline in accountability and the erosion of societal norms. Join us next week for Part 2 where we take on the biggest topic of our time: Artificial Intelligence. We're developing a technology we can't fully control or predict. Should we be treating it less like a Silicon Valley startup and more like a dangerous virus? The debate you're not hearing in the mainstream. The weekly episodes are the fortnightly recorded checkins between Andrew and Nathan, that they hope help inspire your curiosity and creativity. These are different from typical guest episodes as they are less focused on conversation. Support the pod: https://3reate.com, https://ko-fi.com/3reate or https://patreon.com/3reate
