Anime-tized Algorithm w/ Matt Alt

  • Summary

  • Joined by guest host Matt Alt (30:46), author of “Pure Invention: How Japan Made The Modern World”, Adam and Matt explore the dynamics that have propelled anime and other Japanese-inspired content to the forefront in the Western hemisphere, how innovations like the Walkman and Game Boy reshaped the technological landscape, and the importance of nurturing your inner child to live a fulfilling life.

    First, Adam and Matt discuss the surging popularity of anime among mainstream audiences and how Japan’s focus on uniqueness, and being “cool”, puts them ahead in the cultural dominance race (04:24).

    Then, they explore the advantages of embracing your inner child to live a happier life, and the great regression associated with being forced to “grow up”, when sometimes we just need comfort (48:06).

    Tune in now and enjoy the type of conversations you wish you had around the workplace water cooler!
