    S1E04: Algorithms vs Your Soul: How You're Being Formed by the Feed

    This episode goes into the engine room. Jack argues that the feed is not merely information; it is formation. Through attention capture, identity shaping, and moral outsourcing, algorithms train what you notice, what you fear, what you mock, what you love, and who you think you are. The algorithm does not need to understand you. It only needs to predict you. But prediction is power, and power needs boundaries. Instead of deleting your phone and moving to a decorative cabin, Jack offers practical counter-moves: add friction, choose your formation diet, and re-embody your life. The goal is simple: treat the feed like a tool, not a tutor. www.jacksorrin.com

    S1E03: Truth Without a Tribe: How to Think When Reality Is Fractured

    In a world of ten-second clips, hot takes, and profitable frames, truth gets broken before most people know what happened. Jack maps the three fractures: speed, incentives, and identity capture. Then he names the trust-collapse spiral that turns confused people into surrendered cynics or hardened threat-detectors with Wi-Fi. This episode offers a third way: disciplined clarity. Not perfect certainty. Not a tribe to tell you what to think. A protocol. You will learn how to slow your inputs, audit incentives, go to primary sources, use levels of certainty, and talk to real people before the internet turns your nervous system into a courtroom. www.jacksorrin.com

    S1E02: Hybrids: How to Belong When You Don't Fit Anywhere

    What do you do when none of the approved boxes fit? In this episode, Jack names the loneliness of the hybrid: the person who feels too much of one thing for one tribe and too much of another thing for the next. But being in-between is not always a defect. Sometimes it means the categories are too small for a whole human being. Jack maps three kinds of hybrids: Exiles, who drift; Translators, who bend; and Builders, who turn their in-between life into a calling. This episode is an invitation to stop performing for belonging, choose an anchor, and build a third space where whole humans can breathe. www.jacksorrin.com

    S1E01: You're Not Crazy, It's Just 2026: How to Stay Sane in a Machine-Tempo World

    Season One of Between Worlds began as a set of episodes, but it became something more useful: a ladder. Sanity, belonging, truth, formation, politics, comedy, attention, disagreement, real friendship, and rule of life all pointed to one underlying problem: drift. In this short between-seasons episode, Jack reflects on what Season One revealed about modern life, attention, and the need for a structure that protects what we love. The world is not merely distracting; it is designed to make us draftable. The answer is not panic, guilt, or another heroic self-improvement plan. It is a trellis: small anchors that keep us available for love, truth, responsibility, and the people actually in front of us. This week’s move is the Drift Check: notice where you drifted, then add one small anchor. www.jacksorrin.com
