Tristan Harris
1984–Present · Co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology
Walked away from Google to tell the world that the products designed to connect us were engineered to addict us. Harris exposed the attention economy for what it is — a machine that plays human psychology like a piano. He traded a career at the most powerful company on earth for the thankless job of telling people what they don't want to hear. A Grithosian speaks the uncomfortable truth even when the audience would rather stay asleep.
