   AI-Era Media Literacy: You're Not Just Watching Information—You're Watching Yourself

   AI is changing more than the way content is created—it is changing the way we experience reality. In this episode, I explore why modern media literacy is no longer just about detecting fake news or verifying facts. Instead, it begins with understanding our own emotional responses to carefully crafted stories and digital experiences. Whether it's travel videos, self-improvement books, or AI-generated content, we are often drawn into compelling narratives rather than objective information. The most important question is not simply, "Is this true?" but, "Why does this affect me so deeply?" That awareness may become our greatest defense.

   Work or Freedom — Either Way, It’s a Story

   In this episode, I take a critical look at two seemingly opposite lifestyles: the traditional salaried career and the FIRE movement. While they appear fundamentally different, both rely on personal narratives that help individuals cope with uncertainty and constraint. I explore how people assign meaning to work or elevate freedom as an ideal, not necessarily because these paths are inherently fulfilling, but because they make reality more bearable. Rather than rejecting these narratives, the key lies in recognizing them. Awareness allows us to step back, question our assumptions, and consciously choose how we interpret and shape our lives.
