The Rise and Fall of the Quantified Self Movement
The hosts reminisce about the "Quantified Self" and "Life Logging" fads from circa 2010, which were popularized at TED conferences. They link these early self-tracking trends to current government data mining efforts involving companies like Palantir and Peter Thiel. An anecdote about Austin artist Lori Frick and her data-based murals is included.
