Tristan Harris-Finally Someone Who Broke Rank!


“How do you ethically steer the thoughts and actions of two billion people’s minds every day?”

Tristan Harris asks this question because he was part of the design!  Called the “closest thing Silicon Valley has to a conscience,” by The Atlantic magazine, Tristan Harris spent three years as a Google Design Ethicist developing a framework for how technology should “ethically” steer the thoughts and actions of billions of people from screens.

Highly recommend people listen to Mr. Harris!  He gives hope that someone will not sell their soul for profit when so many do.  Check out what he has to say, it will shock most of us to realize our devices are specifically designed to addict us!  Addiction that is as powerful as heroine!  Hope that gets your attention!

I respect Sheriff Israel&
