How AI, Media & Addiction Rewire Our Minds
Why are we so invested in media outrage and who is benefiting from it? Kris Tyte and Sean Snodgrass are joined by Lindsay & Quinn Nelson to break down this propaganda phenomenon. We discuss how endless media consumption, AI-generated misinformations, and social media platforms reshape the way we think, feel, and behave. But this isn’t just about listing problems like doomscrolling or dopamine addictions, it's about awareness. Today’s episode also dives into the horrors of overconsumption and how it disconnects us from reality, impacts mental health, and is quietly shaping our future generations. If you ever have felt overwhelmed, distracted, or stuck in a loop…this episode explains why.

IT Moonlighting & Consumer Lives Matter
In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss IT professionals and employees in other related career fields that can be done remotely, double or triple dipping working several jobs simultaneously, and tools that help people pull this off. We talk a bit about the right to death, then transition to the intricacies of capitalism and contemplate whether deceit is a required skillset within capitalism. Then we have a look at the major health and wellness factors plaguing many Americans, especially the more relatively poor. Finally, we discuss gamifying self-improvement, utilizing a grass roots movement and the natural propensity for groupism to build a counterculture against rampant consumerism.
