    Ep 10: What We Owe Each Other

    An article from Diggit Magazine argues that Gen Z social trends, like 'not owing anyone anything,' or 'protecting your peace,' are not actually smart advice that leads to self actualization, but ideas pushed by algorithms that push hyper individualism.  We discuss the social media landscape and how it shapes our relationships with ourselves and others.    #socialmedia #individualism #algorithm #selfishness #GenZ

    Ep 09: Gen Z Apathy

    Every older generation things the generation after them is lazy and entitled. We don't think that about Gen Z. But when you encounter Gen Z in the work place one thing becomes clear, they really don't seem to care very much.  Two Millenials and a Gen Z talk about the differences between our generations' approach to work, why Gen Z doesn't seem to care, and what that says about the economic and social systems we live in.

    Ep 08: Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing?

    Vogue published an article that asked the question, "is having a boyfriend embarrassing?" In it they reference female influencers who have received criticism or lost followers in droves after hard launching a relationship with a man.  We tackle the question, is having a boyfriend truly embarrassing in today's world? And if so, what does that mean about how we interpret the costs and benefits of relationships, what we think about men, and whether there's any humanity left in modern dating? #dating #men #women #embarrassing #vogue #relationships #marriage

    Ep 7: Has Free Speech Online Gone Too Far?

    China has introduced a new program where financial advisors and those giving medical advice on social media must have a proper accreditation or they can be fined the equivalent of $20,000. This is a form of censorship, which is bad. Yet, social media is dominated by horrible advice, harmful opinions, hate speech, and a host of other issues. How far is too far when it comes to free speech? Or does that limit even exist? We talk about China's new program, hate speech, free speech, and who controls information on this episode. #freespeech #socialmedia #online

    Ep 5: Creating Healthy Male Only Spaces (Part 3)

    Male only spaces have a mixed reputation. Locker rooms are often seen as places where women are objectified, and where men are hazed. But these spaces are one of the few places where men can figure out what it means to be a man, and they can be very healthy. So how do we fix what's wrong with these spaces? In the final part of this 3 part episode on why women are choosing to be alone, rather than with men, we talk about modern relationships, toxic femininity, and a way forward for men to find more fulfilling relationships and become better people.   #relationships #commodification #value #love #men #women #toxic #toxicmasculinity #toxicfemininity #podcast #pod
