Douglas Rushkoff speaks with researcher and author danah boyd about the invisible human labor behind America’s institutions, the political battles over who gets counted, and why data is never as objective as we think. From the quiet heroism of civil servants to the erosion of public trust, they explore how democracy depends not just on numbers and systems, but on the people who make them work. 👉🏻 Follow Douglas Rushkoff:http://instagram.com/douglasrushkoffhttp://tiktok.com/douglasrushkoff http://bsky.app/profile/rushkoff.com Our Sponsors: * Check out Uncommon Goods and use my code uncommongoods.com/TEAMHUMAN for a great deal: https://www.uncommongoods.com Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Setting Team Human Free

Douglas Rushkoff sits down with scientists, activists, artists, philosophers, and researchers asking the same question: who actually benefits from the way we&#39;ve built this world — and what do we do about it? Team Human is a weekly podcast about technology, power, consciousness, and what it means to stay human in a world that increasingly doesn&#39;t seem designed for us. No corporate backing. No network. No algorithm deciding what gets said. Just honest, rigorous conversation with people working at the edges of the most important questions of our time.
