    Ep 15: Stop Watching the MET Gala

    The MET Gala is one of the most talked about celebrity events of the year. But at a time where the cost of living is high and AI is replacing jobs, is the display of wealth at the event insulting to regular people? In this episode we talk about celebrity, what they owe society, and how the richest people are that way because we give them our money. We also talk about the new reality of big companies forcing workers to train their AI replacements, and taxpayer dollars going to datacenters that ruin communities. Is AI breaking the fundamental deal that capitalism is based off of?

    Ep 13: Can Grassroots Movements Succeed?

    When a grassroots movement gains enough traction, it can become a dominant idea. In doing so, the idea almost always changes, leading to the question; is it still the same movement? We ask the question, can a grassroots movement achieve mainstream appeal while holding on to its core ideology? Our discussion leads us to a debate on modern Christianity, and whether or not the religion has fundamentally changed when it became one of the world's mainstream religions.    #grassroots #christianity #religion #ideology

    Ep 12: Are Humans Losing the Internet?

    Just 100 accounts are responsible for most of the misinformation on social media in Canada. AI bots are using human proxies to spread political propaganda. ChatGPT is decreasing our cognitive abilities. Is there anything authentic left online? Or are we lost in a sea of bots, AI tools and misinformation? In this episode we talk about the search for something real on social media, whether or not AI is making us more stupid, and what the future might look like for human beings on the internet. . . #socialmedia #ai #authenticity #internet #internetculture #bots #humanity #podcast #pod

    Ep 11: Do the Olympics Still Matter?

    The latest Winter Olympics have wrapped up. As always the Olympics went over budget, were surrounded by protests, and clouded in political controversy. It all begs the question, are the Olympics still worth the environmental, social and literal cost of putting them on?    Should we continue having the Olympics, or change how they are run?

    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
