Search Engine Podcast : Guest Ezra Klein. Topic: Is there a sane way to use the internet

This week’s show
This week, a conversation we recorded a while ago that we’ve been impatient to share.

Ezra Klein joins Search Engine to answer a question that's increasingly confounded us: is there a sane way use the internet, now?

How do I get information about the things I care about without getting sucked into a vortex of opinion, unearned certainty, and yelling?

We make this clear in the episode’s introduction, but one of the pleasures of this show, for me, is that it gives me an excuse to talk to people I admire.

I really like Ezra’s podcast, The Ezra Klein Show. And often when I’m listening, the thought I have is just — how does this person find the time to read and think this much? So it was a treat to demand Ezra answer a series of questions about how he is managing to waste less time on the internet, and what he looks at when he, like anybody, dumbly stares at his phone.

A quick skim at your link, including some of the comments and relevant resources, has given me a great and timely gift this Monday morning.

I'm pretty much fed-up with my own approach to satisfying my curiosity/staying informed and am looking forward to learning about tools I can use to change that.

I may break the rules and crosspost this elsewhere for visibility. Seriously, thanks for posting this.
