Ep 67: When you think of the robot-dominated workforce of the future, what comes to mind? Wall-E? The Matrix? Terminator? This week, Kelli and Josué debate whether robots taking over the workforce would lead to hedonism, self-actualization, or something in between.

Ep 66: This week we look at a couple of studies that suggest that retweeting or sharing about what you’re reading can lead to lower comprehension and memory of the material and that spoilers don’t ruin your enjoyment, in fact, they may help you enjoy something more. What?! Nothing makes sense this week on PsychTech but Kelli and Josué try to make sense of it anyway.
