Week Forty-Four: Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week “The World Online”

Jesse Sample’s Freak of the Week airs EVERY WEDNESDAY at 6pm EASTERN Right here on RadioRadioX.com

This is Jesse Sample. In my time on this planet, we as a race have gone from absolutely no internet to all internet. A lot of really smart people think AI is going to be even more revolutionary. The adjustments that our ancient brains need to make to reconcile our lives with these new technologies is all a very novel consideration. This is all happening fast.

If you look out into the online world, it can be a bit much. The curators of various bodies of information can completely shape our perspectives. It’s easy to start thinking that the world really is the thing you experience online. But there’s good news. It’s not!!! Most people are kind and completely willing to be decent in real life. I personally need to curate a little trash in my online consumption, but maybe not all of it…

You are not your social media profile, and your worth is not determined by “likes.” You are not your political affiliations, and you are worth far more than the data that is harvested from you. And I would always rather run into you at Hannaford than have a zoom call. This new technology really allows me to make music in a way my heroes couldn’t have dreamt of but it’s a tool, not an identity.

Thanks to all of you nature boys and girls tuned into RadioRadioX. This is the Freak of the Week. “The World Online”
