It originally aired in the What Works feed—the first part of this conversation is here.\"How do I want to live?\" Philosopher Rahel Jaeggi says this question is bound up in the concept of alienation. Our disconnection and dissatisfaction keep us from answering that question—but they also keep us from asking it in the first place.So in this episode, Kate, Charlie, and I ask that question—and five more. We examine how work in the creator economy can reinforce competition and individualism when what we really need is solidarity and collective action. If you're curious what you can do to join with others for your own success and theirs, this episode has some ideas.Footnotes:Kate Tyson: Whiskey Fridays (podcast), Wanderings (on Substack) and Wanderwell ConsultingCharlie Gilkey: Productive Flourishing and Better Team HabitsTara McMullin: What Works (podcast and newsletter)\"What the creator economy promises and what it actually does\" by Kyla Chayka in The New Yorker\"Surplus populations are all around us\" by Tara McMullinAlienation by Rahel Jaeggi\"Metrics, Incentives, and the Seduction of Clarity\" by Tara McMullinCasey Newton on Decoder with Nilay Patel\"Algorithms at Work\" (algoactivism) by Katherine Kellogg, Melissa Valentine, and Angéle ChristinAs always, find an essay version of today's episode at whatworks.fyi","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/b9dEQ6mdw-Ku-15DI-eFwNiBV-Z9NLCMh4sL4ts1QGc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQzMDk5LzE2ODk0/NDQzNDAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
