IDK #14 - Double Standards (In Through The Side Door) IDK with Gabe Garber
-
- Filosofía
In which Gabe leans into an experimental new form (a slightly shorter episode) attempting to unkink the hose and let that water flow, baby! Summer is HERE Y’ALL, and I’ve been cleared by the Overlords(TM) to be FREE ONCE AGAIN! Let’s hear it for the Overlords(TM), for real though, they’re still really good at, you know, lording over us.
ANYWAY, for this episode I tried my best not to overthink it, which is a loop I was getting caught up in, if I’m being one hundred (percent (honest (with you))). I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about internal underdevelopment (in the sense of our own internal narratives about ourselves) and how it tends to manifest externally. (There’s plenty more to mine there, so stay tuned for further exploration in future episodes.)
I believe it’s a valuable exercise to explore things at the extremes of any spectrum, so after pondering it universally for a while, I pivoted to my individual self and started looking for biographical examples of this inverse dynamic of internal vulnerabilities and external projections. I ended up pretty quickly stumbling onto the idea of DOUBLE STANDARDS—an all-too-familiar and particularly sensitive concept for me, personally—which, as you’ll hear, is at the heart of this week’s signal.
Thanks for tuning in. I hope to have more to share with you soon.
