The Focused Human Podcast: The Physics of Attention in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Algorithms are coming for something more valuable than your time. They compete for your attention — and they know exactly how to get it. You should too.
The Focused Human is a short-format weekly podcast about the physics of attention in the age of artificial intelligence. Each episode is under fifteen minutes — built for the gaps in your day.
Every episode: a clear explanation of what modern life, artificial intelligence and algorithms are doing to your focus, your mental clarity, and your ability to direct your attention — and one practical thing you can do about it.
If you've searched for podcasts about artificial intelligence, attention recovery, digital wellbeing, or simply why modern life feels so mentally exhausting — this is where those questions get answered.
Start with Episode 1: Recover Your Attention.

A World Built to Pull You Apart
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your attention is a compass needle trying to find north in a room full of shifting magnets — algorithms and artificial intelligence engineered to keep you scrolling, reacting, never settling.
In under 15 minutes: why today's platforms are built for engagement rather than usefulness; how artificial intelligence feeds learn your triggers faster than you notice; and why that end-of-day mental exhaustion is the real energetic cost of constant attention redirection.
One simple observation this week to start seeing the invisible pulls on your focus and wellbeing.
Listen now. Find your north again.
