A proposito di questo titolo

 Let’s be real: The future is weird, and your phone is probably spying on you. Welcome to The Glitch, the only podcast brave enough to admit that modern life feels like a sci-fi movie we never auditioned for.

AI is here. It’s writing our emails, creating our art, and powering the apps we’re addicted to. Is it a tool for liberation, or the most sophisticated trap ever built? We’re the two voices in your head: the one telling you to be excited for the future, and the one telling you to throw your phone in the ocean.

We’re not here to give you boring news reports. We’re here to debate the tech that feels both like magic and a curse. From AI taking our jobs to algorithms messing with our brains, no topic is off-limits.
Warning: This podcast may cause you to question your entire existence. You’re welcome.

Subscribe for your daily dose of digital chaos.

  • "MAIN CHARACTER Syndrome": How TikTok Warps Our Sense of SELF

    "MAIN CHARACTER Syndrome": How TikTok Warps Our Sense of SELF
    Oct 2 2025
    Ever feel like you're the main character in a movie... and you're also the exhausted director, writer, and star, performing for an invisible audience 24/7?

    Welcome to the podcast that puts a name to that feeling: "Main Character Syndrome." We're dissecting the cultural phenomenon, fueled by TikTok and our addiction to the algorithm, that encourages us to view our lives as a constant performance. This isn't just about trends; it's an autopsy of how social media is fundamentally warping our self-perception.

    We’ll dive into the science, exploring the shocking link between frequent posting and Grandiose Narcissism, and how these platforms are the perfect stage for self-promotion. We’ll unpack how endless content consumption is quietly rewriting the values and identity formation of a generation, leading to a new kind of emotional burnout.

    This is the definitive conversation about the pressure to maintain a curated online persona and the profound anxiety that comes with it. We're not here to tell you to delete your apps. We're here to give you the psychological toolkit to navigate the digital culture without losing yourself in the process.

    If you're ready to log off the performance and log into your real life, hit that subscribe button. It's time to be the author of your story, not just the main character.

  • Infinite Scroll, Zero Satisfaction

    Infinite Scroll, Zero Satisfaction
    Oct 1 2025
    Ever spend more time scrolling through Netflix than actually watching anything? What if that's not your fault, but a deliberate feature of a broken system?

    Welcome to the podcast that investigates the great paradox of our time: we have infinite entertainment at our fingertips, so why do we often feel so unsatisfied? We're pulling back the curtain on the Streaming Wars, revealing how giants like Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon are shifting their strategies from growth to profit, using ads and bundles to fight for your wallet.

    But this isn't just a business show. We're diving deep into the psychology of the Paradox of Choice—the scientifically-proven reason why a universe of options leads to decision paralysis and anxiety. We explore how the endless scroll and culture of binge watching are hijacking our brains, turning a promise of relaxation into a source of stress.

    We even explore the strange rise of "glitch art"—our cultural fascination with digital errors—and ask if it's a subconscious cry for help in an age of overwhelming, polished perfection. This is an autopsy of our modern digital culture and a guide to navigating the age of information overload.

    If you're ready to break the spell of the infinite scroll and reclaim your evenings, hit that subscribe button. Let's debug the system, together.

  • Is Elon Musk's NEURALINK the Next Step in EVOLUTION or a Body HORROR Nightmare?

    Is Elon Musk's NEURALINK the Next Step in EVOLUTION or a Body HORROR Nightmare?
    Sep 30 2025
    Elon Musk wants to put a computer in your brain. Should you let him? He's selling a utopia of cured diseases and human-AI symbiosis. But what if the next step in evolution is a body horror nightmare waiting to happen?

    Welcome to the definitive debate on Neuralink. This is not science fiction anymore. We're peeling back the layers of hype and "neuro-enchantment" to expose the terrifying ethical, social, and legal questions that big tech doesn't want to answer. We'll explore the activist world of biohacking, but then pivot to the urgent legal battle for "neurorights"—the fight to own your own thoughts in a world where they can be read, recorded, and maybe even rewritten.

    We're diving deep into the darkest corners of Reddit and expert forums to discuss the real fears: "brainjacking," the monetization of your consciousness, and the terrifying possibility that your mind could become just another device to be hacked. This is a critical look at the neurotechnology that could redefine what it means to be human.

    Are you ready to open Pandora's Box? This episode is your guide to the most important technological debate of our lifetime.

    If this conversation just rewired your brain, subscribe and share this episode with anyone who needs to understand what's coming. Then, head to the comments and answer the big question: Would you get a Neuralink implant? Yes or no, and why?
