I am here with Nicholas Christakis.
Nicholas, thanks for joining me again.
Sam, it's so good to see you again.
Yeah, great to see you.
We don't see each other in person enough or even on the internet enough, but I always love talking to you.
So let's just jump right into it.
I'll remind people you are the director of the Human Nature Lab at Yale.
You are both an MD and a sociologist and have studied many interesting topics related to, I guess,
how human beings and now technology affect one another.
And we have too much to talk about.
I think I want to start with the question of, I guess I just want your post-mortem on the present.
This last decade, what has technology, specifically information technology, done to us?
Yeah, so I think we are going to see the other side of our present dilemma.
