8: How Curiosity Frees Us from Autopilot (Jason & WALL-E)

Origin Stories
Written By Derrick Hatch

How do we break free from autopilot? We wrestle with this question by exploring the temptation to outsource to technology, as seen in both  'Wall-E' and '2001 Space Odyssey'. And Jason shares his journey of breaking free through cultivating curiosity and wonder in his life.
