The Coronavirus Effect — Philosophy
The Coronavirus Effect

The Coronavirus pandemic is causing an unprecedented change on the world not seen before in our lifetimes. There are considerable impacts on our ways of living and the rules of society that we thought were not possible. For many, this is possibly the most interesting and testing time of our lives. Accordingly, we are being bombarded with an overload of anxiety-inducing scary news. This podcast is an invitation to take a step back from the panic and observe the world and the beauty within it. To be curious. To celebrate the great things about the world and the amazing things humans are doing to help. We will highlight the work of heroes around the globe and the current opportunities to get involved. We will host discussions on the future we build after this. The shifts that will happen in our own minds. The changes for the better we can create as we rebuild.

4. Maintaining Empathy at a Distance Apr 11, 2020

Show notes

Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips is an author and technology researcher. We dive into her findings around human interaction online and how we lose empathy and cause each other extra stress.

We talk about solutions for this and how we can control ourselves better to avoid being led down dangerous rabbit holes of thinking and keep positive.

I can highly reccomend her book "The Future Of Feeling: Building Empathy in a Tech Obsessed World" for a masterclass in becoming a wiser particapant in online conversations. It also really helps explain human psychology around why we chagne our nature when we interact online and the problems and possible solutions society needs to address going forwards.

In the current climate of high stress and emotions combined with an unprecedented amount of interacting online this message is more relavant than either of us could have anticapated when we recorded the interview.

Special Guest: Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips.

2. What Is All The Panic (buying) About? Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

After stores across the world first started running out of toilet paper, this quickly spread to empty shelves and epic queues as people rush to stock up before armageddon hits. This has resulted in a lot of further panic and strong emotions and angry words from those impacted. Still no one knows why toilet paper is needed....

In this episode we dive into some of the reasons behind the buying. We discuss supply chain shifts, game theory, psychology, fear, and economics to discover how it works. Along the way we find reasons to be less judgemental and kinder to our fellow humans.
