Touch Grass: Andrew Yang Returns To Talk Phone Addiction, AI's Cognitive Toll, & The Fight For Your Attention

8 Jun 2026 · 57 min

Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur, former presidential candidate, and founder of Noble Mobile.

This is a conversation about our phones, and what they're doing to us.

We get into the machinery engineered to colonize your attention, the cognitive cost of leaning on AI, and why willpower won't save you.

Andrew is great. This one is a Trojan horse for a more challenging conversation. Enjoy!
