In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell sit down with Joshua Pauling, coauthor of Are We All Cyborgs Now?, to explore a deeper question about technology: are our devices merely tools, or are they actually training us to think, learn, relate, and live in particular ways? 

The conversation explores the hidden worldview of technology, the dangers of a frictionless digital life, AI and transhumanism, the importance of embodiment, and what the Amish and Luddites can teach us about using technology without being shaped by it. They also discuss practical ways to reclaim attention, community, creativity, and real-world life.
