Is The World F*cked?
Welcome to "Is The World F*cked?" - a weekly raw and irreverent look at the future... starting today! We look at where the world's going in technology, economics, social policies and lots of other crazy sh*t!
We get real about where we could be going if we got our act together, what scares the hell out of us, and what makes our heads spin.
Your hosts are Dr Bruce McCabe, The Global Futurist, and Bruce's mate, "PJ" Jones, one of the original digital marketers in this world. We kick around the big issues everyone's thinking about but might hesitate to raise in polite company, while keeping it real and having some fun. Because, without the laughs, what's the point? And then we try to decide in the end, is the world f*cked, or not?
You can check out our "day jobs" at www.brucemccabe.com and www.alexim.com.au respectively, although this podcast was never meant for our clients (we're scared to death they'll find it). This podcast is for YOU - if you're thinking about the big stuff - and whether the world is f*cked, or not!

#39 - What's Life Like in the Amazon Algorithm
Dr Bruce recently had the good fortune of venturing into the world of Amazon Fulfilment Centres - and what he found is insane.
As he walked through the unmanned doors, it hit him – he'd just stepped into the pulsating heart of an algorithmic wonderland. So today, we're peeling back the layers of this e-commerce onion to reveal the comedic gold that lies within. From the mesmerising dance of robots to the mind-boggling scale of it all, we're diving into the wild world of fulfillment – Amazon style.
Spoiler alert: it's not your average walk in the park; it's a stroll through a digital realm where packages move faster than you can say "free two-day shipping."
So, buckle up and join us as we navigate the labyrinth of boxes, algorithms, and unexpected hilarity that is an Amazon fulfilment centre in the USA - 24/7.
And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
