    80. The will to live amidst societal collapse

    TRIGGER WARNING: S*icide
    I've been having a hard time making meaning out of life - what with societal collapse, genocides and
    hustle culture - and wanted to share some conclusions I made about why it is better to stay alive than to opt out. I hope this episode makes you feel seen and a little less alone.
    Themes discussed:

    Arguments in favour of staying aliveFinding joy while the world is burningFinding ones place in the worldAutism and justice sensitivity Magic and nature

    81. Leave Amanda Seales alone! Black Autistic Women are Targets

    81. Leave Amanda Seales alone! Black Autistic Women are Targets

    Amanda Seales is being unfairly dog-pilled on. When people are cut down because they're honest and direct, what does this say about society at large? If it's unsafe for a successful, effective, beautiful neurotypical woman (I recorded this a week before she shared she was autistic - okay psychic!) to be unflinching in her anti-establishment critiques, what hope is there for the average black autistic woman? This episode dissects bullying dynamics, the price of honesty, Hollywood, blackness and the isolation that comes from being a truth-teller. I discuss:

    The Unfair Treatment of Amanda Seales and Its Implications on black autistic womenThe Intersection of Autism, Likability, and Professional SuccessBlack Hollywood, oppression, and how bullies thrive in silence

    76. Should our friendships inspire us? ft. Bobos Void

    should our friends serve the productive function of inspiring us? should we admire our friends and want to be like them, or are they just a good time?
